Heading to that Pilates class while it's still dark outside, swapping out that (slightly counterproductive) latte on the way back for a pumpkin spice one and spending a lot of time in sweats. Forget the orange leaves littering the ground, these are the true telltale signs that autumn is here. The transition from long summer days to rummaging through the attic for your thickest jacket is a tough one, don't get us wrong; but it doesn't have to be. Dry those tears, put away your SAD lamp, hold off on renting The Holiday (for now, anyway) and embrace the colder months as a time for getting cosy and taking some time for yourself. How? Get cooking.
Here's where @thegreedymodel comes in. Emma Louise Connelly, the model turned foodie extraordinaire, understands that homemade food not only tastes damn good, but lovingly hovering over the stove is pretty relaxing too. So if you fancy getting that sense of accomplishment that can only be achieved by plopping a great big bowl of food in front of your flatmates, try Emma's one-pot mushroom orzo out. It's vegan, it uses loads of ingredients you'll already have in your store cupboard and it's incredibly tasty.
Handy hint: elevate this recipe by grabbing some seasonal mushrooms from your local greengrocers.
