The fall season is the most fruitful because all veggies and fruits are harvested and ready to be cooked into delicious meals that will turn the moody weather into a cozy gathering around the table. The freshness of the produces make harvest season one of the best time to cook healthy delicious home cooked meals.

When we talk about the best fall dinner recipes, we talk about comfort foods that are good for the soul. If you have trouble finding dinner ideas this fall, this cookbook will become very handy for you. Every recipe has been taste-tested and made frequently over the years. This book also features many tips and tricks for making quick lunches or dinners without spending hours in the kitchen.

I have collected my all-time favorite fall recipes I have prepared over the years. Some of them I have inherited from my mother, and some of them are adapted with a modern twist. I decided to break up the recipes into six categories: soups, fish and seafood, chicken and turkey, pork and lamb, beef and veal, and vegetarian recipes. You can easily pick your favorite one and make it for the whole family. All of these recipes will help you get through the chilly months.

Because fall marks the start of the holidays, this book also offers many ideas suitable for Halloween dinner, Thanksgiving dinner, or even Christmas lunch. Ive included quite a few pumpkin recipes, as there are many recipes where you can use this healthy vegetable, from making mac and cheese to casseroles to chili.

We all start craving soup as soon as the leaves start to turn. I have shared my favorite fall soup recipes, all prepared with freshly harvested fall veggies that will warm you up even on the coldest fall day. All of them are creamy, perfect for windy and rainy autumn days to keep you warm and cozy.

Fall vegetables and fruits also lend themselves to many meat recipes. Chicken with a delicious mushroom and cream sauce, tender chicken with cider, or even pork chops with an apple-infused flavor.

While the fall season has a lot of fruits and veggies to offer, you dont have to be an experienced chef to bring life to your recipes. Use herbs and spices liberally, as both flavor and taste can make your meal a celebration for the tastebuds. Fresh herbs are available most of the summertime, but you can dry them and make your own dried herbs for cooking during the fall and winter.

Also, there are no strict rules for cooking. The most important thing to know is that you dont have too many ingredients to cook something delicious that will feed your whole family.

Early fall is the perfect time for al fresco dinner parties in the garden. Pick your favorite dinner recipe from this book, cook up a large batch of it, and entertain your loved ones. Most of the dishes are potluck-friendlyjust cover them with a piece of aluminum foil. Some of them can be warmed later and served to impress.

Another thing to do when harvest season arrives is to collect all of your crops, or if you dont have your own planted, then buy them at a lower price. Then, can and preserve them.I have included a few recipes for canning to prolong the freshness of produce all year long.

I hope you will find each of these fall recipes easy and helpful, and use them for years to come.
