Ah, new beginnings, and a season that will surprise you with its abundance. The shops are full in a way that feels understated rather than showy; roots, brassicas, citrus, all at their best after the cold has settled in. It’s also the month when one of my all-time favourite cabbages is at its best: the January King.
