There’s something about autumn that brings us back to the kitchen. Maybe it’s the cooler air, the shorter days, or just that quiet craving for warmth, the kind that emanates from the stove. Every season has its flavour, and autumn? It’s deep, rich, and generous. Mushrooms, truffle, slow-cooked sauces and broths that fill the room before the plate even hits the table.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your next cozy autumn dinner, we’ve selected a few of our favourite seasonal dishes to get you started.
Stuffed conchiglioni with sausage & mushrooms
A pasta dish that doesn’t hold back: golden, baked conchiglioni shells filled with a hearty sausage and mushroom mix, all nestled in a creamy béchamel and topped with grated Grana Padano. The secret touch? A drizzle of flavour up your pizza, our bold new seasoning with chili pepper, that melts into the filling and adds that extra layer of spice. Rustic, indulgent, and the kind of dish that will leave your guests speechless.
Don’t worry, the full recipe is easier than you might think.
Legume soup with truffle
This isn’t your average soup, it’s a slow-cooked, velvety mix of lentils, beans and chickpeas, finished with truffle carpaccio and swirl of truffle oil for that earthy, unmistakable aroma. Perfect for a quiet evening in, with crusty bread and good wine.
