Plus, many of the recipes easily transition into the warmer months, which makes it a great year-round choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641897f1cfa41d40c3001c9a/690cdb26-3af7-4ea2-a06d-2bf7dedbef43/pinkpapaya_698.jpeg BLOG - Cookbook Project: Chicken Tagine (Martha Stewart’s Slow Cooker) - The recipe itself is very simple: Spices: cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Onion Garlic Dried apricots Preserved lemon Kaffir Limes Dry white wine Hot water And olives — which, in my rush, I grabbed not pitted.

Next time: get them already pitted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641897f1cfa41d40c3001c9a/524689d5-e971-4df3-bc7d-5cf2011c5aee/pinkpapaya_699.jpeg BLOG - Cookbook Project: Chicken Tagine (Martha Stewart’s Slow Cooker) - Served over couscous with harissa sauce and mint?

It pairs perfectly with fall comfort foods like apple desserts, creamy soups, and roasted squash. Chenin Blanc or Chardonnay: Whites with just enough texture for heartier dishes. Beaujolais or Pinot Noir: Light, juicy reds that can go from roast chicken to mushroom soup. Chianti or other Sangiovese-based wines: Reds with a little spice and rustic charm, perfect for fall evenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/641897f1cfa41d40c3001c9a/4014743e-1a5f-416f-a10a-e75e0fc56517/AI+Image+Soup+and+wine.png BLOG - Fall Is the New Summer: Why September Is the Best Time to Entertain - Menu idea: a pot of soup, homemade bread (or a rustic loaf from your favourite bakery), a small cheese board, and something seasonal like apple butter or chutney (yes, it exists, and it’s delicious). Atmosphere: cozy lighting (candles, string lights, or a dim lamp), a fall playlist (Spotify has endless options), and maybe a throw blanket or two draped nearby.
