The harvest of autumn brings with it winter squash and I find myself wanting to cook much more with it during the colder season. There’s something comforting about this earthy vegetable – whether you roast it, make it into a delicious bread, fry it up as fritters or make spaghetti out of it – squash is a hearty, wholesome food good for the entire family.
