Recipes for Fall

This collection is for the beginning of sweater weather, when the last of summer produce overlaps with the beginnings of heartier cold-weather veggies. The oven plays a bigger role, but bright, fresh flavors are still front and center. Cozy and rustic plum crostatas begin to incorporate thinly sliced apples or a bigger pinch of warming spices. Light soups, like my favorite mushroom and rice soup with bok choy, take the edge off of increasingly chilly nights. The final hurrah of late-summer grilling steers away from fresh salads, and instead pairs with cozier sides like Portuguese braised rice and greens or simple, cheesy polenta.
