Oooh, yummy.

For me, it's stewed cabbage, anything Brussels sprouts (how about a Le Pichet chicken with chestnuts and Brussels sprouts?), lentil-chestnut soup, raclette with potatoes and pearl onions and ham, winter squash gratin...

This is truly the time of year to contemplate making those warming, indoor, cherished comfort foods .. as the heat of summer retreats ...

Personal favorites? thick soups (lentil with sausage, potato watercress, etc.), fruit-stuffed acorn squash halves, casseroles & cassoulets (see cholent!), creamy risottos, dumplings and stuffings, overstuffed deep-dish apple cinnamon pies, cranberry anything!

I prefer fall foods to almost any other season .. once we had a thread on which season was everyone's favorite for cooking and autumn won by a significant margin! :wink:

***Well I'm patiently waiting for the heat of summer to retreat a little more !

I just spent about an hour watering my yard and working up a sweat out there... :angry:

Bring on Fall...I'm ready and will be cooking:

Ragu Bolognase

Bastila

Mushroom Soup

White Lasagna

Pork Roast

Something from the October issue of Bon Appetite.

Well, back to the yard...I've got tomatoes, corn, squash, green beans and MORE tomatoes waiting to be rescued from the vine :biggrin:

I'm a whore for braised meats all year round, but it only gets worse in the fall and winter.

Most women don't seem to know how much flour to use so it gets so thick you have to chop it off the plate with a knife and it tastes like wallpaper paste....Just why cream sauce is bitched up so often is an all-time mytery to me, because it's so easy to make and can be used as the basis for such a variety of really delicious food.

Hard to think about in Northern Calif but looks like Braised anything and Soups. Crabs are coming later. Pick and press seems to be the order of the day. Taste last years and adjust. Finish the Tomatoes.

I'm guessing that you're particularly fond of your tarte tatin. Any chance you'd share with us your fave recipe?

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

On KCTS last Saturday they had four hours of comfort food with recipes contributed by restaurants and viewers. One chef, I don't know who he was, made meat loaf and mashed potatoes. It looked horrible. Meatloaf was dry and he dumped the mash into a kitchen aid and whipped it. It was lumpy. (Use a potato ricer!)

Anyway, it inspired me enough to make my grandma's meatloaf to commence my autumn cooking transition. It was very good!

Drink!

rather than list the items, i'm just looking forward to using the oven again, since using it in the summer here in ny is just a little too much for the family.

Well, aren't y'all a bunch of optimists. I'm feeling rather down about the passage of summer and the fact that I never ever find enough time to make all of the summer foods that I love. I guess I look forward to pomegranates and local oysters, and I did make a nice roast chicken (Marcella's) last night.

As summer turns to fall, so now, my thoughts return to making Onion Confit. Onion Confit is now the base for my French Onion Soup every time :biggrin:

Prime Rib

Stews

Pot Roasts

Red Wine Casseroles

It is however, now that my vegetable consumption starts to drastically reduce. I'm not a squash and turnip fan, and most of my favourite veggies are summer ones : beans, corn, peas....

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.
