Hermione's Pantry

 With Summer drawing to a close I thought I would share another of my favourite summer bowl recipes. The carrots and cabbage in this again are homegrown organic from my garden. There is only 1 crop of carrots left in the garden but there is lots of beetroot that will be ready soon! I haven’t had a rinded goat cheese since I left Norway so I was very excited when I bought the goats cheese for this meal. This meal is incredibly easy to make and is a great transition from summer food into autumn. It is warming and earthy yet not too heavy like autumnal dishes can be. I am really looking forward to autumn this year as summer has not been great here, it has been cold and wet, there have only been a few days of really hot weather. I know that autumn is also cold and wet but at least it is meant to be!
