Menu of the week: recipe ideas from Monday 18 to Sunday 24 November

Sweet potatoes, squash, cauliflower, and mushrooms… fall vegetables come in all forms on our fall plates. In a soft, stuffed version, raw in gourmet salads, or even simmered in comforting soups, they never disappoint. The same goes for the unmistakable apples, pears and citrus fruits which constitute the basis of our autumn desserts. They are enhanced with strong flavors: spices, dried fruits, chocolate or even coffee.
