🍂 Seasonal galettes: when butternut squash reveals all its autumnal richness.

With autumn comes one of nature's sweetest and most comforting treasures: butternut squash. The star of the season, it seduces with its melt-in-the-mouth, slightly sweet flesh and its ability to pair equally well with warm spices and fresh herbs. Now is the perfect time to cook with it, as it is not only delicious, but also rich in fibre, beta-carotene and essential vitamins to help us face the cooler months.

In this recipe, butternut squash is prepared in a slightly different way: roasted in small cubes and then added to seasonal grated potato patties. A simple, nutritious and perfectly balanced combination that allows you to enjoy its full flavour while adding texture and indulgence. The dish is accompanied by a fresh yoghurt sauce, a few pieces of grilled bacon and a touch of feta cheese to enhance the whole without making it too heavy.

🍽️ The elegant touch: Amberley stoneware dinner plates from Neptune

To showcase such a warm and authentic recipe, I chose to serve it on Neptune's beautiful Amberley stoneware dinner plates. Their subtle, slightly speckled finish and soft colour add a touch of sophistication to the presentation. Without stealing the show, they highlight the natural colours and create an elegant contrast between the white sauce, the golden patties and the bright touches of spice.

Amberley stoneware has a handcrafted charm that perfectly complements seasonal recipes: a natural, solid, timeless spirit. It's the kind of tableware that transforms a simple meal into a warm and aesthetic moment, where every detail counts.
