Contents A Note from the EDITOR 14 Delicious A Culinary Journey through Northern Ireland comfort food recipes “There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees–as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again.” – Ruth Ahmed There is something so special about this time of year - it has a grounding effect which forces us to consider the passage of time and the tangible changes around us. As the hues of the trees shape our landscape, we settle down into the embrace of those cooler, darker evenings - a sense of quietude before the inevitable Christmas rush begins. Garden Designer Adam Frost 23 We hope this edition makes a good companion to a cosy evening or a peaceful morning with a cuppa. We’ve filled it with interviews with some titans of their fields - firstly, west country expert baker (via France!) Richard Bertinet and Chelsea seventime gold medal winning garden designer Adam Frost. Our interview with Richard Bertinet 11 Editor Katie Thomson e katie.thomson@minervapublications.co.uk Publisher Sally Thomson Pre-Press Manager Kate Norris Contributors Rebecca Rose, Peter Thomson, Sue Cooke, Matthew Biggs Angela Cave and Pete Lawrence.

No part of this publication may be reproduced without prior permission from the publishers. The opinions expressed within are not necessarily those of the publishers. These lovely chats fall alongside some delicious recipes and some inspiration for the home and garden - plus some advice on getting those finances in order for retirement - it’s never too early to start thinking about it, nor to late to make an assessment of where you are. It wouldn’t be right to have an edition without one of our most popular pages - the competitions! You can enter all the ones listed on the page, plus some web-exclusives at minervamagazines.co.uk - you can also opt into being the first to hear about new giveaways when they are launched. We are looking forward to seeing you again in November, where we will be unapologetically thrusting you into the Christmas swing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Until then, take care and enjoy this issue. Katie Katie www.minervamagazines.co.uk | 3
