While the weather is crying with warm rain for its lost Indian summer, the clouds are gathering and the bodies are covered in thick fabrics, the plate brings sunshine to the hearts. Generous colorful squash; creamy sauces, often cheesy; nuts with undergrowth scents, so many flavors that are good in autumn. Yes, it can rain, be windy, stormy, it’s the season that calls for that. What if we combined the catastrophic weather with joyful moments like sharing a crepe or raclette evening with family or friends, preparing a homemade chocolate fondant, or embarking on a generous Paris-Brest based on homemade praline? The plate is there to nourish us by providing us with all the nutrients and vitamins that our body needs – with seasonal vegetables, it’s always better – but we can reconcile this with the gluttony that our heart demands.
