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, Mushroom Milk from The Livery Shop, The Fermentation Crock Set available at Lee Valley Tools and fresh made pies from Pie Cloud.

Every kitchen needs a good casserole dish for soups, stews, roasts, sauces and even roasted vegetables. These dishes are completely versatile and an essential kitchen tool. A colourful piece will brighten up any kitchen but there is something about classic black. It’s mysterious, elegant, sophisticated and we find the ridges on the OUI Ridged Casserole Pot captivating. This lidded pot conducts heat evenly and gently for simple baked dishes like stews, lasagna, baked bread and one-pot meals. Made specifically for oven use, not stovetop, it’s microwave and dishwasher safe plus stain resistant. Find in-store or online.
