Fashion Week is upon us and I am having thoughts of cashmere and squash soups! Every autumn these things happen. Lush fabrics and vibrant colors conjure fantasies of a lifestyle which includes lunch with girlfriends, movies in the afternoon, and wine by a fireplace.

I want to wear beautiful scarves with embroidered edges and eat risotto with wild mushrooms and a warm chocolate dessert.
Autumn ushers in the best of haute couture and the best of haute cuisine.

As far as I am concerned, Fall is the beginning of the eating season. With the holidays right around the corner, and cooler weather in the forcast, our palates are primed for rich meals of silken textures and hues that please the eye as much as the tastebuds.
You can’t wear suede boots and order a salad. Only Lobster bisque will do, with a boujolias and warm crusty bread.

Autumn beckons us with complexity and layers; layers of merino wool and silk and of nutmeg, subtle yet sublime, in the cauliflower gratin; unexpected but very much appreciated.

So, let the show begin! Like an off-Broadway production we ready ourelves for the best the season of eating has to offer.
