Seasonal Autumn Produce Recipes

From warming stews and cassoulets to desserts made from squash, these autumn recipes are comforting classics!

Ahh, Fall. It's my absolute favorite time of year. How could anyone not love the world wrapped in luscious jewel tones of rust, amber and marigold as the leaves change color? Then there's all that autumnal produce!


I know, most people engorge on plump summer berries, biting into blushing diamonds of strawberries and gnawing melon right to the rind. Don't get me wrong, summer berries and I have a long love affair, because berries. But there's something about a gourd, the work of sawing through a squash and finding soft flesh and delicious seeds.

Autumn is certainly for veggie lovers with all manner of healthy veg debuting at the peek of their freshness this time of year. Potatoes and carrots always seem to taste better this time of year. Then you've got beetroot, mushrooms, pumpkin, fennel, kale, sorrel and corn and dozens of others. From the berry patch this time of year, blackberries, soft pears, damsons and harvests of vintage quince and elderberries.  

So, in honor of the new season that will be upon in just a few weeks, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite recipes made with seasonal autumnal produce:
