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.

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
Our clients chose Kitchen Design Centre because they wanted a dedicated expert to lead the way, rather than a mere supplier of parts
They required a team to guide them from the first spark of an idea to the final finishing touches.
The brief presented a unique challenge – transforming a blank-canvas garage into a space that celebrated the charm of a traditional barn conversion. The room, featuring expansive wooden beams, demanded a thoughtful design.
More than just a kitchen, the clients required a family-oriented living hub with a dining area tailored for entertaining.
Working with Simon, the Manager at our Barrowford showroom, provided total peace of mind. He spent time listening and meticulously exploring various layouts until the vision felt just right.
The result is a traditionally-styled kitchen filled with modern gadgets. The breathtaking Dark Blue Shaker cabinetry serves as a bold anchor, paired with light-toned units to accentuate the warmth of the timber beams and flooring.

Little kitchen decisions that make everyday life SO much easier 🙌🏼
We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!
It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.
