The leaves or warm weather haven’t changed yet but my autumn taste buds have arrived. Pumpkin pie, cider, squash, apples…yum. Here’s a round-up of 15 fall vegetable recipes that sound amazing. I want to try them all, especially the Parsnip and Apple Soup!

Tell it like it is! This book knows how to win my heart. Yes please, I’d like a food guide on the best places to eat in Portland so I can stuff my face. My friend and I are thinking about going to Portland soon so this book may be essential for us. Especially because we are quite experienced in this sort of activity.
Plus the hand-lettering and illustrations don’t hurt either. :)

IKEA put out a new baking book titled “Hembakat är Bäst” (Homemade is Best). Aren’t the images like a work of art in themselves by breaking down the recipes to their basic ingredients? Try and guess which recipe they are! I think it’d also be really cool if you tried this yourself with your favorite recipe to hang up in your home — what a nice homage.

Wishing everyone a happy and tasty Thanksgiving today surrounded with friends and family.
Everyone’s got their favorite classic dishes on this day. I know I’m looking forward to these:

Food Gawker is the Playboy of food photography. It’s to showcase and share recipes but most importantly, it shows off gorgeous food with beautiful photography. Completely irresistible.
Yum.
Also, isn’t this such a fun idea? A trap door in the kitchen floor which leads to a wine cellar. How romantic. I’d buy the house just for this!

Michael Pollan is a brilliant author, teacher at UC Berkeley, and essayist who has written The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food among others. If you want to know what you’re eating, how it got to your plate, how it was grown, and what it does to your body after you’ve eaten it… read those two books. They’ll change your life (in a better way, I promise!)
So I have to say that Michael Pollan is a personal hero of mine. And I recently discovered that his wife, Judith Belzer is a painter who paints marvelous tree details in a new way.
The SFGate recently published an article of Pollan’s newly designed functional garden in their Berkeley home.
Their garden space is only 600 sq feet and for someone who advocates eating what you’ve grown, he’s done a good job of advertising that you don’t need a large farm to do it!
