Choose a mix of hard, soft and blue cheeses, then add contrasting textures such as oatcakes, grapes and chutney for balance.
Keep soft cheeses wrapped in waxed paper in the warmest part of the fridge, and bring them to room temperature before serving.
From fennel salami to air-dried ham, learn how curing and spices shape the taste, texture and best serving suggestions for each slice.
Quick pickled shallots, gherkins and red cabbage add sharpness and crunch, cutting through the richness of salami and prosciutto.
Sprinkle the crust with water and warm it in a moderate oven, or slice and toast it for croutons, panzanella and savoury crumbs.
Strong white flour gives structure, while wholemeal and rye add flavour; blending them can improve rise, texture and keeping quality.
Balance fruit, sugar, vinegar and spices, then simmer slowly until glossy and thick before potting into sterilised jars.
Wash jars in hot soapy water, rinse well and dry in a low oven; fill while warm to reduce the risk of spoilage.
Use a coarse grind, water just off the boil and a steady four-minute steep, then press gently to avoid bitterness in the cup.
Light roasts suit buttery croissants, while darker blends stand up to chocolate and spice; try small cups alongside warm baked goods.
Root vegetables, kale, squash and leeks are at their best in cooler months; roast, purée or pickle them for hearty deli-style meals.
