Fall Savory Galette with Ricotta, Roasted Pumpkin, and Nuts

This delicate savory galette is one of those recipes that looks festive but is actually very simple to make. In this fall version, roasted pumpkin is combined with a smooth ricotta cream, Parmesan, and St. Dalfour fruit spread. The spread adds a subtle sweetness and creates a pleasant contrast with the salty cheese. After baking, top the galette with fresh arugula, toasted nuts, and balsamic vinegar. It’s perfect as a light dinner, an autumn lunch, or a treat for guests.

Roasted Pumpkin and Brynza Spread

The gently sweet roasted pumpkin, the bold brynza, and the slightly nutty flavor of pumpkin oil create a simple yet beautifully autumnal combination. The cottage cheese softens and lightens the spread; alternatively, you can substitute cream cheese for an even smoother and richer texture. The spread is ready in just a few minutes and pairs perfectly with sourdough bread, crispy toast, or as part of a small snack for guests. Served with salty pretzels or toasted tortilla chips, it will also look lovely on the table.

Summer Vegetables and Salads: How to Season Them So They Aren't Boring

When we think of barbecuing, the first things that usually come to mind are grilled meat, fish, or vegetables. But it’s often the sides that determine whether the entire meal will be truly exceptional. These two are simple, fresh, and ready in no time—fluffy no-rise yogurt flatbreads and a salad with grilled peaches, feta, cucumber, and a honey-mustard dressing. The flatbread is made with just a few ingredients, requires no rising, and after baking, simply spread with garlic butter and parsley. The salad is a lovely summer combination of arugula or lamb’s lettuce, sweet peaches, salty feta, crisp cucumbers, and nuts or seeds.

This bowl full of aromas and colors is exactly the type of food that will warm you up from the inside and provide your body with a good dose of nutrients. I softened the creamy red lentil dhal cooked in vegetable broth and tomato passata sauce with soy cream, seasoned it with spices, and served it with fresh herbs. To make it a little more special, I added roasted carrots in a miso marinade, which caramelize beautifully when roasted and give the dish a slightly sweet umami flavor. You can serve it with basmati rice—or if you want a lighter version, you can leave it out. It's the perfect comfort food for dinner or meal prep for those days when you're short on time. 🌿
