California Walnuts has created four new recipes, each costing less than £2 per serving to inspire you in the kitchen this autumn.

So on Friday I shared Raspberry, Honey & California Walnut Baked Oats. Also yesterday I shared for lunch or a simple supper; a tasty leek, potato and California walnut soup.
