Fall is a very special time of year for food. All of the hard work from spring and summer starts to pay off big time. The herbs and vegetables that were planted are harvested and preserved. Vegetables are fermented and jarred. And it seems like the most amount of variety of ingredients are available from the farmers markets. This is the time of year that I like to experiment with different and bolder flavors as well as cooking techniques. I also like trying new or different varieties of my favorite foods in order to coax out the best flavors possible. This is also the time to hone in on a few skills that will make preparing large meals, like Thanksgiving and other holiday meals easier. Experimenting with different varieties of food has another advantage, I will base my seed planning for the next spring on the varieties that performed the best in my favorite dishes. Thai chili peppers and Blue Hubbard pumpkins are on the top of my list for next year.
