Fall Provisions Recipes

After months of avoiding turning on a hot oven, the return of some cooler, drippy days have us hankering to get back in the kitchen once again. Thus, this week’s lineup is full of fall provisions to help you stock your shelves—from bread flour, yeast and focaccia bread to Grana-style cheese and cultured butter with sea salt—and an array of culinary delights to cook up however you please. Have fun experimenting with silky duck eggs, vibrantly-hued French peppers, heirloom tomatoes and other seasonal produce, plus we’ve included our cobbler crust mix and the last of the peaches so that you can pop one last summery cobbler into that oven.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
