I’m back after a really fun, productive and food obsessed few days in Melbourne, working with Lucy on Autumn. You’ll see some of the results come through on our Flickr group. In the meantime, here, as usual, are the Friday Quicklinks:

• Baked butterbeans: I’ve been reading a lot of Nigel Slater recently and his mustard obsession is rubbing off on me. Which means I got a tad over excited about Wendy from A Wee Bit of Cooking’s Baked butterbeans with honey and mustard. It’s such a simple idea, and looks very, very good.
• Being upsold at the deli: Piece from The Guardian asking what you do when shop assistants cut bigger pieces of cheese / meat / fish than you’ve asked for. Would you just take the piece offered?
• Using kale: I also spotted a simple recipe on the Bastyr Centre’s website for Sake-braised kale. There’s ginger and garlic in there too.
• Eggplant: I was all set to put in a link for 80 Breakfasts lovely autumnal, Spanish inspired beef stew. But then I saw the Eggplant with sumac and garlic yoghurt dip, so I’m going to include that as well.
• Leeks with greens: I am a bit of a greens fiend. Which means I couldn’t go past River Cottage’s Leeks with greens. There’s a bit of butter in there, but otherwise it’s all Greenery.
