Inside Out

The view from the kitchen window

As the garden transforms from green to gold and beyond, the kitchen keeps pace matching hue for hue, delight for delight.

Outside, as this little beauty cast off her chartreuse green hue of summer for a pale copper shade of autumn,...

inside these darlings traded their pungent sharpness for a slow-roasted mellowness in Todd English's take on creamed onions -- Six-Onion Roast with Goat Cheese and Walnut Crema.



Outside, as this tree sang with the most dazzling yellow leaves, inside this spaghetti squash soared with the bright taste of lemon and the nutty flavour of Parmigiano-Reggiano in a Shrimp and Squash symphony.

 

Outside, while the cool nights coaxed the intense vividness of this flaming burning bush, inside the red richness of these jewels added depth and zing to Cranberry Crumble Muffins.

Outside, as these crisp orange-brown leaves struck a pose against the brilliance of the bright blue sky, inside the creamy texture of pumpkin lent a satisfyingly smooth denseness to Fudge Brownies.

Outside, while these red-orange leaves danced in the clear afternoon light, inside this tureen of vegetables was whirled into the full-flavoured silkiness of Pureed Cauliflower Soup with a touch of Sharp Cheddar cheese.

Outside, while the trees and branches now all lay bare,...



inside our bellies purr with pure satiated delight.
