Apple of Our Pie

We’ve just got back from a good walk through the beautiful Sussex countryside — rosy cheeks, boots muddy, and that lovely crisp air that makes you glad to get home. The kettle’s on, the oven’s warming, and as we settle in with a cup of tea, it’s time for one of our good old cosy chats.This week, we’re celebrating World Apple Day and the glorious bounty of the season — tasting our way through some wonderful home-grown and heritage varieties from West Dean. A few of them we’d never even heard of, but each one’s got its own little story and a burst of flavour that reminds us why autumn might just be the tastiest time of year.Of course, it wouldn’t be Relish without a few recipe ideas too — from hearty soups and comforting classics to the perfect pudding (Charlie’s Tarte Tatin might just steal the show). There’s laughter, there’s chatter, and a little sip of something warming to round things off.So pop the kettle on, pull up a chair, and join us as we relish the season — one bite, one story, and one good chat at a time.
