Getting Ready for Autumn: Foods to support the Lungs! - 9/3/26

Monica Corrado opens this week’s In the Kitchen with Monica livestream with a seasonal conversation about supporting the lungs as we move into autumn. Drawing from principles of traditional food preparation and Chinese medicine, she explores how changes in temperature, wind, and dryness can influence the body and which foods she recommends bringing into the kitchen during this time of year.

Highlights include:
-Why Monica associates autumn with supporting the lungs and large intestine
-The importance of traditional fats such as lard, tallow, butter, ghee, and duck fat
-Warming, moist foods including soups, stews, stocks, broths, and root vegetables
-Using warming spices and ingredients such as garlic, onion, cayenne, horseradish, hot sauce, and wild ramps
-A look at fire cider and ways to incorporate it into meals and daily routines
-A Q&A covering castor oil, slow cookers, sprouting lentils and beans, fermented foods, raw meat and fish, and structured water

Monica closes by encouraging viewers to begin preparing for the seasonal transition by bringing more warmth, moisture, traditional fats, and warming spices into their meals as autumn approaches.
