Taking advantage of seasonal products can be one of the best alternatives to implement in the kitchen and some of the advantages to using seasonal products are that they are cheaper and they also provide the vitamins and nutrients we need for the Autumn and Winter months. Pumpkins, aubergine (eggplant), sweet potato, spinach, cauliflower, etc. are seasonal vegetables. Vegetables are great for preparing a variety of delicious dishes that you will not regret including in your cooking.

    The eggplant dip sounds very rare, I do not know, even the name is a little bit strange, however sounds like a good recipe, to try something new and change the variety of dishes, because we tend to eat the same diet all the days and this can make us tired.

    The potato gratin is delicious and I love it! so the sweet potato with cheese can make a perfect and exotic recipe, thanks for sharing that, maybe it wouldn’t never come in my mind, which makes me believe that I should be a little more creative while preparing my food

    I have tasted the quiche but not with that ingredient, which seems like a good option to enjoy with the people who like to try new and exotic things, maybe some friends or even to encourage the family to try something different and enjoyable

    Zucchini quiche!! That sounds SOO good! Our garden is just exploding with them. We made a really good zucchini bake last night – diced the zuchinni and sauteed it with spices, then we put it in a casserole dish, covered it with spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese and baked it until the cheese melted. We ate it on toast and it was super tasty. I’m definitely excited to try the sweet potato gratin.

    These sound really great recipes, especially the baba ganoush! Although are you able to provide any kind of alternative that does not use peanut butter? I would love to try this recipe but I have a nut allergy. Maybe another kind of butter would work, like almond or pecan? Just a thought. Thanks for this article! Seasonal fruit & veg are the best possible options for a good diet.
