Produce Guide: Fall

Fall is the time when we're really excited to get back into our kitchens and spend some time tinkering again: making long-simmered stews and sauces, braising, baking, and other forms of cooking that we eschew in hotter weather. Luckily, the cooler temperatures bring a whole slew of seasonal goodies to cook with, from crisp apples and juicy pears to hearty greens, sweet root vegetables, and sturdy winter squash. Make the most of what you'll find at the markets this autumn with our comprehensive guide for buying, storing, and preparing the season's best produce, plus plenty of recipe ideas to put it all to use.
