SAVOUR THE SEASONS:
MY FOOD BLOG

An autumnal pot pie of pheasant, quince, mushrooms and walnuts under a golden puff-pastry lid. A richly flavoured yet practical recipe with make-ahead tips, pairing ideas and step-by-step guidance.

There are some kitchens that feel like they’ve been waiting for you. Vale House Kitchen is one of them - warm light on wooden tables, knives stacked neatly, the beautiful gardens just beyond the window reminding you where your food begins.

Some bowls just feel like a hug, and this one wears a cosy tweed jacket. These game meatballs are a mix of partridge and pheasant for gentle gamey depth, rounded out with a little sausage meat for juiciness, then simmered in a bright tomato-basil sauce and tangled through spaghetti.

This seasonal treat is one I always go back to - perfect combination of rich flavours, paired with a sweet pear, and crunchy lettuce.
