In My Kitchen in October

My favourite season autumn is here! The trees are starting to turn colourful, days are shorter and mornings can be frosty. I just love it, as it's somehow so cosy. I also love all the seasonal food in the autumn. Here is a little peek to my autumnal kitchen.

Here is some of the lovely seasonal produce I've recently purchased: chanterelle mushrooms, corn cobs, tenderstem broccoli, cactus figs etc. I've also made a little pine cone and pumpkin display on the dining table.



I haven't bought that many new food items lately, but here are some: Yeast flakes and smoked tofu by Vantastic Foods. I find the quality of their products excellent and there is also a nice tofu character. 



I made a dessert with butter-pecan ice-cream and dark chocolate popcorn bites. It was a nice dessert, a bit more unusual, but very quick to make.


Here are some of my autumn dishes.

Vegan chilli with kidney beans and bell pepper, and sweetcorn rice



Creamy mushroom sauce with mashed potatoes


Fondant potatoes with vegan nuggets and steamed tenderstem broccoli



Red lentil and roasted bell pepper lasagne



I'm sharing this post once again with Sherry from Sherry's Pickings blog, who is hosting the In My Kitchen challenge.


Have a nice new week!

  3. Hi, Veg Hog! Hope you're enjoying ongoing Autumn. (My favorite Season, too.) Looks like you've been cooking up some heartwarming dishes -- red lentil lasagne, fingerling potatoes, the "foxy" vegan chili, and mushroom-potato mash combo. Cute pine cone & squash display, too. Stay warm!

  5. I must say, it's rare for me to read about someone saying farewell to summer and welcoming autumn. I can't believe the colour of those chanterelles – they are amazing! It is never cold enough for them to grow here so I'm always impressed by mushrooms and nuts and apples that grow locally. The creamy mushroom sauce would be a firm fave in our house. Thanks for the tour.

  7. That lasagne looks delicious! Are cactus figs the same thing as prickly pears?

  8. I love the name cactus figs - we used to call them prickly pears here, and then they removed the prickles. Now they are called cactus pears :)
