ovember has arrived – and with it, an irresistible urge to batten down the hatches and hibernate. Yep, it’s officially cosy season, and we’ve got plenty of inspiration for helping you embrace the ‘hygge’ this month. Cambridge chef Rosie Sykes, a connoisseur of comfort cooking thanks to much-loved collections such as The Sunday Night Book (the bible of soul-warming weekend recipes), joins us to talk hearty soups, slow-cooking, autumnal flavours and Guy Fawkes suppers on page 61; while this month’s Home Edition offers tips for creating the ultimate nest (page 87). If you fancy wrapping up and enjoying the Midsummer Common fireworks – the first display since pre-pandemic – we’ve got all the details on page 21. We also welcome back our Winter Dining Guide, a round-up of the best festive feasts, Christmas party venues and seasonal treats available around the city, on page 53. Elsewhere in the issue, we’ve got news of the Literary Festival, Jazz Festival and the best theatre, gigs and art exhibitions heading our way in this month’s Culture Club (from page 7). For those impossibly organised readers already planning their Christmas shopping, there’s a rundown of the best festive markets hitting the streets on page 64. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
