Beets, turnips, potatoes, carrots and company: after so long underground, root vegetables are finally ready to spring forth! It's why they're in so many season recipes, such as hearty soups or big cuts of meat slow roasted for hours at a time.
What's an October without pumpkins? Fall is the best season for enjoying all the beautiful and abundant varieties of squash and pumpkins available from local farms. You've got your rightful classics like butternut squash soup or pumpkin pie , but you could also try introducing yourself to some fresh new faces like this stunning de pumpkin baklava.
Green, yellow or red-no matter what form they're in, there's nothing like a seasonal bell pepper. You can stuff the larger ones with meat for a mouth watering main, or puree red peppers to make muhammara,a traditional Syrian dip made from red peppers, olive oil, spices and walnuts. Its scintillating aromas are perfect for chilly fall weather.
September to November is harvest season for several varieties of
nuts. What could be nicer than adding flavour and texture to a dish

rice and chicken, or almonds in siyadieh
,an ultra tasty dish of rice and fish.
