Chef-approved fall food list


Just like juicy watermelon slices are made for summer and hearty soups are perfect for winter, there are certain dishes and ingredients that are intrinsically linked to fall—and it’s more than pumpkin spice. Root veggies, citrus fruits, corn and apples (which we can thank the Pilgrims for—how’s that for a food fact?) are all notable in autumn. Seasonal foods are so distinct this time of year that chefs add them immediately to their fall food list.


We asked four chefs and cookbook authors which items they’re most looking forward to cooking with this season—and just how they use them. The dishes they’re preparing are warm, rich and filling and perfect for baking, cooking or meal planning during a fall reset. Use their ideas to get outside your cooking comfort zone or fill you up after a weekend of fall home maintenance. You just might discover a new autumn favorite.
