wine-poached pears, honeyed quinces + apples baste wine-poached pears, honeyed quinces + apples basted slowly in butter (then softly tucked into a tart): a love letter to gently cooked & sweetly-scented pome fruits in november 💌💌💌
roast kabocha squash, fried hazelnuts + sage, brot roast kabocha squash, fried hazelnuts + sage, broth-infused buckwheat, & radicchio (with more radicchio on the side, in the form of an herby, mustardy salad). something about those oranges, browns, purples and greens all tangled together softly seems to whisper “cosy cold-weather comfort”, and I absolutely love it.

roast wedges of kabocha squash, soissons beans I b roast wedges of kabocha squash, soissons beans I brought from France (because ingredients make the best souvenirs), fresh torn mozzarella, gently fried almonds, pecans & hazelnuts, fragrant sage leaves + fiery chili, all with the usual light crushing of flaked sea salt and delicate drizzle of extra virgin olive oil — a darn good plate of mid-autumn food, all very much inspired by @hannahwilding_ @boldbeanco 🫶✨
