There is no fresh veg and the fridge is bare. But with lentils and cans of beans, Nigel Slater conjures up a magical feastI don't want any fresh food left in the house while I'm away. There are few things less welcoming to come home to than half a cabbage that has seen better days. Though it is marginally better than unpacking your suitcase only to find something you left in the oven. (I have don

There's no simpler supper than a baked potato. Load it with roast pork or a juicy stew and your bonfire night will go with a bangWe seem to have jumped from mozzarella lunches to baked potato suppers overnight. It was only two weeks ago we ate our last lunch outdoors (rather wobbly salmon rissoles with green bean and shallot salad). Admittedly I had a fleece on, but I distinctly remember having t

Served in a chicken casserole or folded into a focaccia, grapes are the most refreshing of fruits, and surprisingly versatileEither side of the kitchen doors is a vine planted about six years ago in the hope that it might produce the occasional grape for me to pick at as I cook. That is all I asked of it. But it has given so much more. Eighty small bunches last year, 50 or so bigger ones this, o
Can I use black onion seeds in an Indian chutney? And can I eat jam that has gone mouldy?Q I have an Indian recipe for fresh coconut chutney which requires Nigella seeds. I bought something called Nigella seeds from a local shop that looked like they might be the seeds of the flower love-in-a-mist. Now they have run out and I have been told to use black onion seeds instead. Is this right? Stephen

Pumpkins, beetroot, rollmops… Our country markets are overflowing with autumn's bounty. Nigel Slater takes his pickIt's a scene to melt a city boy's heart.

Use unripe fruit in a zingy baked chicken or a spicy mixed tomato chutneyFor want of a decent windowsill I grow my tomatoes outdoors. Some in pots the width and depth of a bucket, the rest in the vegetable patch, held up with string on thick hazel poles. Tomatoes you grow for yourself are gorgeous things, rich, sweet-sharp and in every colour from sunset orange (Sungold, Auriga) to midnight bla
Nigel Slater's modern-day Cornish pasties

Nigel Slater makes Cornish pasties with a modern twist – one savoury, one sweet – after a trip to St IvesI'm standing on the harbour wall, eyelids closed, breathing slowly and deeply. I take in the sea air (salt, ozone, a passing whiff of mackerel), the piercing screech of sea gulls and the low, excited chatter of families on holiday. Few things are as effective at blowing away the cobwebs as the
