We may be a little biased but we think we have a good collection of fall recipes here on the blog that we've posted over the last 4 years. In anticipation of the official start of fall, which is this Wednesday, we thought we'd share our top three fall recipe picks:

Butternut Squash, Sage & Cheddar 'Pizza'
What better way to use squash that are in season than in a 'pizza'?  The nutty butternut squash, sharp cheddar cheese and woody sage on a buttery, flakey puff pastry crust are the perfect fall combination.  Check out the recipe here.
Indian Spiced Cream of Carrot Soup
One of our favourite things to harvest from our garden are carrots.  Nothing beats the taste of an ultra sweet home grown, organic carrot.  This recipe takes advantage of the root vegetable harvest by spicing things up with garam masala, coriander, fennel and mustard seed.  Combined with the gentle hum of coconut milk in the background, you've got an extraordinary fall soup.  See the recipe here.
Apple Braised Pork Shoulder
This recipe comes from a time when we used an iPhone 4 to take photos; however it doesn't detract from the fact that this is an amazing dish that utilizes the fall harvest of orchard ripened apples.  The sweet apple paired with the melt in your mouth fennel braised pork is a warming (and winning) combination.  Check out the recipe here.

Nawab Restaurant on Urbanspoon
Recently we had a big carrot harvest from our garden. After having our fill of carrot sticks and roasted carrots, we decided to make soup with the remainder. The following is essentially a cream of carrot soup that is flavoured with indian spices and coconut milk instead of heavy cream. The result is a hearty dish that really highlights the earthiness of carrots with the aromatic flavours of garam masala (an indian spice mix), coriander, mustard seed and fennel seed. Served along side some garlic croutons and sausage this is a complete fall meal.


A friend once told me butter chicken is comparable to the ginger beef of Chinese cuisine.  But like ginger beef, butter chicken deserves it's place as the poster child of Indian food.  It's hella good.  Here is how we make it.
