Brrrrr there’s a chill in the air and with Halloween out the way and Christmas not yet upon us, November can feel like a rather drab month. Other than the sparkle of bonfire night, there’s not much to keep us warm. There’s nothing like some good hearty comfort food to warm and soothe but it can be difficult not to pile on the lbs over the colder months.

Here we also give a little nod to the 5th of November with…
