Wonderful recipes using Autumn ingredients
When the air begins to chill, and Autumn announces its arrival, this recipe book would be a wonderful book to have.

The recipes are creative and there are tasty looking pictures of the results. One I especially liked was the butternut squash bisque with chipotle red pepper swirl. Hot, creamy, and with a snappy tang it uses vegetables that are available in autumn. The dry brined roasted turkey with sage and cider gravy is also to die for.
