Publisher's Synopsis
As the air grows chillier and nights longer, these dishes draw us to the table and the warmth of an active kitchen: Slow-simmered dishes like Cider-Braised Pork Roast, cheesy weeknight pasta like Unstuffed Shells with Butternut Squash, or a crusty bread like Sage-Polenta Bread. When the flavours of summer fade, autumn and winter fruits and vegetables can be just as bold and bountiful. Find recipe inspiration from the season's first ripe figs and plump Brussels sprouts to roasty sides featuring celery root, kohlrabi, and sunchokes, or a cranberry curd tart to brighten a winter's night. Themed chapters showcase all the reasons to love autumn and winter cooking: · Find new celebration favourites with a chapter of centerpiece dishes like Roast Butterflied Turkey with Cranberry-Molasses Glaze, Pork Pernil, or a Swiss Chard Pie to wow your guests. · Picked apples on an autumnal adventure? All Things Apple covers both sweet and savoury recipes like Caramel Apple Cake and Savoury Fennel-Apple Tarte Tatin to help you use them up. · Create the ultimate party spread with chapters devoted to Appetizers, Festive Drinks, and Brunch: Try fried Korean fried chicken wings, latkes with beet-horseradish applesauce, or Everything Straws. · Obsessed with pumpkin? So are we! In the Everyone Loves Pumpkin chapter you'll find everything from Creamy Pumpkin-Chai Soup to Rum Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. · Bake to your heart's content with chapters covering breads, cookies, pies, puddings, and more. · Give the gift of food with recipes for Chocolate-Toffee Bark, Fruits of the Forest Liqueur, or Spiced Pecans with Rum Glaze. America's Test Kitchen's tips and tricks guarantee every meal is a success. Flip to the introduction for menus and entertaining ideas. Plus, we've added seasonally themed spreads throughout so you can decorate the perfect holiday cookies, pack up your food gifts safely, or plan a last-second appetizer board.
