Chestnuts are in season right now, which makes me very happy because I love them. And they have loads of benefits as well (you can find out about the benefits here) Did you know there are lots of great recipes you can use them for? Here is one of my favourites that I love to have on a slice of toast, Chestnut & mushroom pate
