The move into autumn brings a whole host of exciting ingredients to use in the kitchen. Light spring and summer dishes begin to become a little heartier, rich colours start to appear in our delicious dinners, and our love for the great British roast dinner returns once again.
While berry season may be on its way out, you should still be able to get your hands on blackberries, which flourish in September. British apples will also begin to appear in the shops this month, ideal for warming winter ciders and hot apple pies.
Damsons and pears also taste great at this time of year and add a taste of richness to our favourite puddings and pies.
Say goodbye to light spring veggies and welcome your favourite comfort food with potatoes, pumpkin, butternut squash and green beans.
Supermarket floors and foodie markets will also be adorned with lovely British wild mushrooms, ideal for your sauces, risottos and pasta dishes.
When it comes to fish and meat, there are some great things to get your hands on in September. Oily fish is at its best during this time of the year – so get creative with mackerel, sardines or anchovies. If it’s something special you’re after, oysters are at their most succulent during this time too.
September’s meat favourites include beef, lamb, pheasant and wood pigeon – all providing those rich, hearty flavours we love at this time of the year.
While you may be inspired to create your own fancy dish from some of your favourite ingredients above, we thought we’d share a few fail-proof recipes from the experts at Neff. From casual bites to fine dining, you’re sure to find a recipe you’ll love!
Great for vegetarians, light lunches or a starter course, this bold and flavoursome salad packs a lot of punch. Featuring seasonal butternut squash with nuts, it promises a whole new take on the traditional salad. Cook in your CircoTherm oven for best results.
Using your CircoRoasting oven, chef up this colourful dish, which is also full of flavour. Ideal for laid-back dinner parties, it’s something everyone will enjoy.
The benefits of oily fish are endless and mackerel is touted as one of the best around. A few things we love about this dish is its adaptability – going with almost any side, its superb flavours, and its short cooking time. In fact, mackerel takes only 10 minutes to cook in your Neff CircoRoasting oven.
Say goodbye to berry and meringue-based dessert in favour of a hearty, rich cake. Carrots taste wonderful at this time of the year. Combine with seasonal nuts in Neff’s CircoTherm oven and you’re left with something really spectacular.

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

A CLASSIC SHAKER STYLE KITCHEN FOR A CHESHIRE
HOME
When Louise and Stuart renovated and extended their Wilmslow home they visited several local kitchen companies but were keen to get exactly what they wanted and researched companies with large showrooms located slightly further afield.
Kitchen Design Centre popped up on google and they were delighted to find that were open on a Sunday and that being located at Housing Units Failsworth, they were only a 20-minute drive away.
They were amazed by the showroom and how many full-size displays there were. They were equally impressed with Designer Paul Harrington who spent a great deal of time listening to what they wanted and going through various options and designs with them.
