With the definitive arrival of autumn we thought a few recipes - along with some wine suggestions to dance merrily alongside - might be a nice idea. Drop friend and food writer James Ramsden generously volunteered a handful of seasonally appropriate recipes from his recent publication, Every Last Crumb, to which we said: yes please.

Drop wine buyer-in-chief and expert on all things delicious, Wieteke Teppema, has chosen three wines to go with these delectable plates. Wine pairing, as you of course know, is as inexact a science as it gets, but these are nailed-on to work handsomely with your culinary efforts.

Without further ado, fanfare or preamble, hearwith - three autumnal recipes from what is a lovely book and an ideal Christmas present at any time of year.
