The Taste of the Season: Inspired Recipes for Fall and Winter, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Sep 28th 2006 @ 8:02AM

Sometimes it seems as though all seasonal cookbooks are based on spring and summer fruits and vegetables, forgetting about the squashes, root vegetables and other wonderful foods that play a central part in the hearty meals of fall. You can't blame cookbook authors entirely, however, since tender asparagus, sinfully sweet berries and heirloom tomatoes are endlessly tempting, but it's still useful to have some seasonal ideas for the rest of the year. The Taste of the Season: Inspired Recipes for Fall and Winter tries to fill in the gap with a collection of recipes that are made for the months of colder weather.

Once you've been tempted by the photos, you'll want to dig in. The recipes tend to be a bit richer and more complex than the average grilled summer meal, with slow-cooked stews, roasts and braises making up a fair bit of the content. There are also distinctly seasonal breakfasts, salads and desserts. Ingredients used include pomegranates, persimmons, pumpkin, frisee and endive, to name a few of the most seasonally associated, as well as various meats and vegetables that can be found year-round.
