Diane Worthington follows up her classic The Taste of Summer with a celebration of the delicious and comforting foods of fall and winter. Get out your wool sweaters and fuzzy mittens and give a bittersweet goodbye to the lazy days of summer and a hearty hello to the crisp, cool days of fall and winter. Diane Worthington has brought us the best flavours of the cooler months with recipes for roasted meats, bubbling soups, and rich desserts. And nothing could be cosier than sitting in a warm kitchen filled with the aromas of spicy chicken gumbo or tangy short ribs. Each recipe fits easily into our everyday lives. While the Crispy Roast Duck with Lavender Honey Sauce is in the oven, you could be enjoying the fall foliage on a stroll through the woods. A bowl of Hearty Lentil Soup with Grilled Sweet and Hot Italian Sausages is equally satisfying before or apres skiing. And a slice of Toasted Coconut Cake or Mocha Truffle Tart is the perfect ending to any mid-winter evening. Each recipe offers advance prep tips to make planning meals as easy as pie. And you can take a peek into Diane's seasonal cupboard for ideas on which ingredients to keep on hand in the cooler months.
Suggested menus for dinner parties, tailgate parties, weeknight suppers, weekend brunches, and holiday dinners are a terrific jumping off point for creating your own seasonal traditions.
