Autumn is one of the most exciting times for produce. If only the rains would return.
The last and sometimes best tomatoes are with us, fungi will have burst in the forest and game is in season. There is still a little warmth in the soil and eggplants, grapes, and olives abound. Chestnuts and walnuts are here. New salad greens are growing and the appetite is strong for perhaps light ragout.

Quinces come into their own to be paired with pork or other sweeter meats; beetroot is abundant perhaps with some hare? The local shooters are bagging quail and the scene is set for some serious grazing in the dining room. As I write these notes we pray for rain or as they say
We’ll all be rooned….
