COOKING

• Hot roasted from the oven or ‘padella per castagne’ (chestnut roasting pan), great healthy pre-dinner snack

• Roasted, peeled and tossed in olive oil with sea salt, garlic, chilli flakes and fennel seeds, yum!

• Add roasted, peeled and chopped chestnuts to your favourite stir fry

• Healthy low GI substitute for potatoes

• Fabulous when combined with brussel sprouts

• Smooth, creamy nutty flavour of chestnut soup

• Earthy combination of chestnut and mushroom risotto

• Festive flavour of roast turkey or chicken with chestnut stuffing

• For something sweet chestnut crepes filled with sweet ricotta, or the velvety nutty flavour of French chestnut ice-cream
