Braised Pork Tenderloin With Apples and Sage

This is a wonderful midweek dinner, as the pork and apples cook at the same time, but it’s just as impressive as an entertaining dish, as it can be semi-prepared ahead of time and then heated up before serving. I love it served with rustic mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts for a celebratory fall…


Apples Go Sweet, Savory, Boozy

Fall is finally here, and a trip to the apple orchard is definitely in order. The trees are bursting with fruits, and branches laden with the seasonal bounty will delight the eye and warm the soul in the chilly autumn air. Apples are plentiful in the markets all year long, but it’s in the fall…


Whole Baked Apples

I love how baked apples look, so crinkly and golden, and how easy it is to make this festive fall dessert. The variations are endless and really anything goes. This recipe calls for dried fruits, a splash of brandy, and a whole cinnamon stick, for both flavor and a charming presentation. Sometimes, I make them…


A Hearty Salad for Fall

There is a salad for every season. Spring salads are fresh and delicate, a tumble of baby leaves, new shoots, and springy buds. Summer brings vibrant salads that are juicy, sunny, and refreshing. Fall leans into the cooler weather and hunkers down with heft and substance. Each salad has a place at the seasonal table,…

Data showed China’s economy hit its slowest pace of growth in a year in the third quarter, hurt by power shortages and wobbles in the property sector. “There is some…


Minestrone in October: An Ode to the Autumn Garden

“Do I taste pears in this?” My neighbor was, shall we say, intrigued. Yes, I did put chunked-up pears in the minestrone we were having on a chilly, fusty early-October night at my place, Owl Feather Farm. I have two century-old homestead pear trees at the farm; they produce palm-sized hard pears, sweet but tempered…


It’s the Perfect Time of Year for a Side of Squash

Roasting butternut squash brings out its inherent sweetness by lightly caramelizing it. I’ve served the roasted squash as is with a drizzle of balsamic syrup or a sprinkling of fresh herbs atop, but in this recipe, I decided to mash it up with a few herbs to bring the flavors together. I like to use…


Domino’s US Same-Store Sales Fall for First Time in a Decade as Demand Slows

Domino’s Pizza Inc. posted on Thursday its first drop in U.S. same-store sales in over a decade, signaling a slowdown in delivery demand for the world’s largest pizza chain as consumers move away from their pandemic food-ordering habits. As COVID-19 curbs ease, Americans, who spent the last year ordering in, have started to eat out…


Wild About Mushrooms: Foraging and Cooking With Fall’s Hidden Treasures

As summer’s sunny days yield to the darkened cold of autumn, forests pop with wild mushrooms. Autumn rains dampen the dense substrate of soil, spent fir needles, and fallen trees that provide the perfect environment for some of the most delicious treasures you can find. Mushrooms may look like singular bodies popping up from the…


Wild Mushroom and Bison Stew

Serve this robust and deeply flavorful mushroom stew over mashed root vegetables for a simple, warming autumn supper. While wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle and boletes, give the stew an extraordinary, rich flavor, you’ll find that it’s equally good when made with the button mushrooms you can find at your local grocery store. If you…
