Friday Faves #118
As the leaves begin to change and the days grow shorter, I find myself gravitating towards comfort food recipes that fill the home with warmth and inviting aromas. This week I’ve been diving into the rich and colorful world of autumn cuisine, inspired by some recent finds and culinary tips.
Aromatic Spices
There is something utterly captivating about the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves wafting through the kitchen. I recently experimented with a spiced apple cake that brought together these aromatic wonders. Paired with a dollop of cream, it was nothing short of perfection.
Handy Kitchen Tools
While preparing for these culinary adventures, having the right tools is essential. During a recent reading of a NYTimes Food article, I came across some valuable insights that recommended having a quality set of glass mixing bowls on hand. This versatile set has proven indispensable in mixing up different flavors and colors in my autumn kitchen exploits.
Comforting Casseroles
Comfort food takes center stage this season, and a creamy chicken casserole has become a staple at our dining table. The combination of tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a hint of cheese creates a wholesome and satisfying dish that disappears quickly. It’s a meal that feels like a warm hug on a chilly night.
Whether you’re an experienced chef or a home cook, incorporating seasonal flavors and essential tools will elevate your culinary creations this autumn. Happy cooking!
