One of my favorite simple snacks to make is roasted grapes. The roasting process really brings out all the natural sweetness and the warmth and tenderness of the red orbs just melt in your mouth. I usually set them out with a charcuterie or a cheese plate, but this time around I decided to do something else with them. What if I made a granita with this roasted goodness? What if I enjoyed that granita with a bottle of red wine?

With the start of the autumn season, we are always excited to decorate with items straight from the kitchen, like poking whole cloves into orange flesh and seeing what lovely new patterns we can come up with. At once decorative and fragrant, orange pomanders are a true sign of the season. This year, however, we've found examples of a few other fruit pomanders studded with whole cloves that we just might try out for a change: More

Orzo Caramelized with Fall Vegetables & Ginger

This time of year, I start getting a little crazy with pasta. I begin to wonder how it would taste with sweet potatoes, ginger, and other flavors I associate with fall. Some of these are classic and expected: Sage, brown butter, butternut squash (like in this pasta). But I also like to push pasta beyond these wonderful yet simple combinations.
