This week we’re still enjoying warm and sunny days but a chill creeps in as evening approaches. Maybe that’s why I have been in the mood for Autumn foods. The sage, rosemary, and thyme in my garden have been there all summer, but something feels right about using these herbs just now. I am tempted to indulge in wild yin-yang philosophising, but really I just think these herbs are at their best in the kind of warm, creamy, hearty dishes I crave as the nights grow cool.
