Sign in Using FacebookFall's Best Produce & Recipes (and the restaurants that serve them)
Autumn is upon us, complete with roadside stands selling bright orange pumpkins and grocery stores offering apple cider by the gallon. The air is crisper, leaves paint themselves in vibrant colors, and the wind dances across the land with the tell-tale sound of rustling leaves. Keeping with the theme, we take pleasure in seasonal menus featured at some of our favorite restaurants, which make the most of freshly picked fall fruits and vegetables. At 10Best, we’ve devoted ourselves to this one: Not only have we found the best recipes for just-ripe fall vegetables, but we've also scouted out the best restaurants offering fantastic of-the-season menus.
A delicious pear dessert |
PearsA cousin of the apple, pears are juicy and delicious if not a little more temperamental. Pears are best to buy when they're firm, not soft, and don't have dents, cuts, and bruises. Unlike apples, pears have a much shorter shelf life and should be used shortly after they're purchased.
Recipes to make at home: •Caramelized pears with toasted hazelnuts and chocolate sorbet •Curried squash-and-pear bisque
