The days are getting shorter and the temperature is dropping. Autumn has already set in; we have taken sweaters and umbrellas out from the back of the closet. With the arrival of the cold, those seasonal products we had forgotten also arrive; the kitchen fills with warm colors and comforting dishes that invite us to enjoy local products. Mushrooms, pumpkin, and legumes become great allies of this time of year, when it feels good to get back to spoon-fed, nutritious, and flavor-packed recipes.
