Fall is Falling: 5 Seasonal Recipes to Make Now!

As a chef, I always like to track what's in season; knowing the peak ripeness of fruits and vegetables in your area not only ensures that they will be delicious but can also save you quite a bit of money at the grocery store. We've already changed the menu at my Harlem eatery Red Rooster to reflect the changing harvest, but you don't have to work in a restaurant or be a trained chef to enjoy the benefits of seasonality. With the abundance of ripe produce this time of year, there are just so many delicious options available to you in the kitchen. Here are some of my favorite recipes to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of fall. Enjoy!
Corn and Clam Chowder
Turmeric and Dried Fruit Spiced Rice
Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Pears
Vegan Plum Muffins
Maple Apple Upside Down Cake
