QWhat’s your advice for chefs looking to make the most of autumn menus?
AAutumn is such a gift for chefs, and if you are changing up your menu or even adding weekly specials, the produce basically writes the menu for you. Pumpkins, butternut squash and mushrooms are at their best, bringing that natural warmth and sweetness to each dish. Diners love that mix of cozy and surprising, so don’t be afraid to take something classic and give it a little seasonal twist. And the best part is, nothing has to go to waste – any trimmings, stems or leftovers can be turned into soups, broths or even a base for sauces. It’s all about letting the season do the hard work for you and making your autumn menu both delicious and sustainable.
