Autumn is our favourite season as it ushers in cool, crisp air, vibrant colours and reminds us summer is but a distant memory. We relish fewer mosquito bites, that extra hour of sleep and all things pumpkin spice. In this issue, we mix magical mushroom concoctions, dive deeper into the world of fermentation, get back to black, season everything and enjoy more time (and pie!) with friends. Our harvest baskets are full and so are our hearts.

We are embracing Autumn this year and all these fabulous finds. Check out the Rusting Roasting Blend from The Silk Road Spice Merchant, the OUI Ridged Casserole Pot from Chapters Indigo, The Fermentation Crock Set available at Lee Valley Tools and fresh made pies from Pie Cloud.

Mushroom Milk by The New New Age is a superfood full of antioxidants. Made of coconut milk powder and six medicinal mushrooms (chaga and reishi, lions mane, maitake, cordyceps and turkey tail), it can be enjoyed in powder form, hot or cold. The taste is simple and offers flavours of cinnamon and coconut milk with an earthy note. Add water and enjoy as is, or dilute it further and add to tea, coffee, smoothies, tonics or your favourite milky hot drink, like a chai latte. Eating it is an option. Simply sprinkle the powder on burgers or mix with olive oil and use as a dressing for roast potatoes or greens. This energy booster offers anti-inflammatory properties making it full of health benefits.
