Turmeric
The golden spice, turmeric, brings vibrant yellow colour (use carefully, it may stain hands and clothes!) and a slightly bitter, sharp taste to dishes. Often used in curry blends, it goes particularly well with the sweet, nutty flavour of cauliflower so try in this veggie curry or hearty aloo gobi soup. For a real burst of sunshine, this carrot, ginger and turmeric soup is sure to ward off any autumn chill.
