Finally!
Every year, when the leaves begin to change color, and it starts to get more and more cloudy, it seems that I’ve been waiting for an entire year for this season. For cooking, this is the most drastic of changes. When it’s hot, I try to not only nourish, but to be lightweight, and cleansing. When summer begins to cool off, I try to enrich the cuisine with our farms sweeter and heartier roots and veg. With the stewing cuts of meat, and with more smoky flavors.
This time of year, we begin to cook for not only the belly, but also the soul.
