Fall is when I start making lots of vegan stews because they are heartening, nourishing and so easy to make.

Note about pumpkin: It is best to get the small pumpkins that are good for making puddings, pumpkin stew and pies as they have more flavour than those very large pumpkins we use for Halloween. These small pumpkins are packed with more flavour and not watery like those large pumpkins.
