Cabbage is at its peak right now, sweet, hearty, and endlessly versatile. Across cultures, it takes on entirely new identities:
· In Korea, it’s the backbone of kimchi
· In Central Europe, it’s braised into sauerkraut or stuffed into hearty rolls.
· In the Caribbean, cabbage is braised with bell peppers, carrots, and thyme
For chefs, it’s more than a side; it’s a foundational ingredient that travels across cuisines, carries bold flavors, and brings texture and depth to any fall menu.

Now is the time to feature pears on your menu. Their balance of sweetness and acidity makes them incredibly versatile across the menu—from bright starters to indulgent desserts. Pair them with sharp cheeses, incorporate them into pan sauces for pork or poultry, or roast them to bring out a deeper caramelized flavor.
Whether served fresh for crisp texture or cooked down for richness, pears are a seasonal ingredient that adds both refinement and comfort to your fall menu.
