November, 2025
Welcome to FoodieSite!
Northern Hemisphere
November brings the quiet richness of late autumn — a time for deeper flavours and slower cooking. The markets brim with squash, celeriac, chestnuts and the last of the mushrooms, while game, duck and pork make hearty appearances on the table. This month’s recipes embrace that mellow abundance, from slow-braised stews and roasted root vegetables to spiced puddings and dark fruit tarts. The days may be shorter, but the kitchen feels warmer — full of the scent of roasting, baking, and a hint of festive anticipation.
Southern Hemisphere
In the south, November leans towards early summer’s brightness. The air grows warmer, the evenings longer, and cooking moves outdoors once more. Markets offer a riot of colour — sweetcorn, tomatoes, berries, and stone fruit arriving in quick succession. This collection celebrates the shift to sunlit meals: grilled seafood and chicken, chilled soups, vibrant salads, and light desserts that sparkle with citrus and berry flavours. It’s the month when barbecues are dusted off, herbs overflow their pots, and summer begins to announce itself with delicious intent.
