🧪 FROM THE LAB
We're getting into the science behind seasonal eating and why the foods showing up at the market this time of year bring more than just good flavor to the table.
📼 REMEMBER WHEN?
A little nostalgia is always on the menu. This month we're taking a trip back to those fall memories that made the season feel special.
🍎 WHAT'S IN SEASON?
Apples, sweet potatoes, winter squash, greens and more are taking their place on October's flavor lineup.
📅 OCTOBER LOOK AHEAD
We've rounded up food-related happenings, festivals and food observances happening throughout the month.
And of course, The Scoop has where you can find Avant-Garde’n this STRONGend:
