Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes (Purè di Patate al Burro Nocciola)
These Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes are my upgraded take on the classic holiday side—rich, cozy, and full of flavor from an infused cream simmered with bay leaves, sage, nutmeg, garlic, and fresh thyme. A splash of buttermilk at the end adds light tanginess and an ultra-fluffy texture, while an optional baked-potato method delivers even deeper potato flavor without any water dilution. Finished with nutty brown butter and fresh herbs, this dish is simple, elevated, and guaranteed to steal the spotlight on your Thanksgiving table.

Upgraded stuffing recipe for your holiday table (or a hearty side dish for the colder months)! This elevated “dressing” recipe is all things autumn complete with sage, cornbread, apples, and fennel.

Grilled Plum Autumn Salad
Plums are underrated and need to become the star of the show! This autumnal salad is my beginning effort in that endeavor. Simply grilled with coconut oil spray and a pinch of salt, plums become slightly charred and ever so slightly sweeter. Add in candied (or smoked!) nut of your choice, pomegranate seeds, and cilantro atop a mix of spinach and arugula and you have yourself a great salad with a variety of different textural notes that celebrate autumn.
