Day 6 Task: Consider appliances, gadgets and tools.
The first thing I did when I saw today’s task was go out and buy this $5,800 Trousseau kitchen set from MOMA. Then I threw everything else away.

I am sure that many readers know and love Prosecco wines.
But do you know where and how these wines made?

The weather last Tuesday was beautiful and perfect, one of those early autumn days with indigo skies and crisp, crackling leaves blowing around in the gutters. Outside my kitchen window, the sun was out in full but its texture was thinning and it had shifted to a lower, autumnal position. I could see my neighbor optimistically and cheerfully planting fall flowers and winter greens in our shared garden. I stopped by to say hello and considered pulling up the last of the basil but couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not quite yet.

Reader Pamela of the blog Sweet Peach wrote us today to share some “cute chickens” she recently photographed, and when I opened up the link, my jaw dropped. My friends, this chicken goes so far beyond cute. Here’s your dose of Friday chicken splendor.

I’m ready to welcome October with open arms — are you? I have a few crisp apples sitting on the counter, so I’m thinking about a weekend repeat of this glorious breakfast, and stir-fried bitter greens with a pork chop for dinner. What about you? What are you cooking? Are you heading into a deep clean for The Kitchn Cure (think about how good it will feel afterwards!). What’s happening in your kitchen this weekend? We’d love to hear all about it.

Day 5 Task: Restock ingredients
I knew what I wanted to do for this task right from the start. Since moving, my mortar and pestle has sat, unused and sad-looking, on my pantry shelf. Well, ok. If I’m being totally honest, it sat, unused and sad-looking, in my old apartment, too. I know that freshly ground spices are on a totally different planet than their pre-ground counterparts. For awhile I lived near a food co-op and got little bags of freshly ground spices when I needed them, but now I need to bring all that work back in-house. I need to buy a few whole spices. I need some spice advice.

Q: I just moved to a new apartment in Montreal. I love everything about the apartment except for the kitchen. It is a big kitchen with lots of potential, but I am very confused about what could I do to make it look better. I would love if you could give me some color ideas for the cabinets, or other things I could do in my new kitchen. Thank you!

Whatever hearty fall eating means to you, we probably have something to help you out this week. From a fragrant cut of cauliflower steak, to cheesy scalloped potatoes with cheddar and onion, and carrot and sweet potato soup to fiery sautéed kale, there are satisfying meals in our roundup of new recipes this week.
We have a sweet (but not too sweet) carrot cake, and make-ahead empanadas to liven up your lunch routine. There’s lemon quinoa with flash-quick shrimp in sauce, and a classic Scotch cocktail.

Innovation in the cheese world is what makes the industry so exciting. And delicious. There’s always something new to check out, or interesting modern spins on old recipes. But sometimes it’s not innovation that you crave, it’s the classic stuff. And Livarot, an in-your-face washed rind from Normandy, is the perfect example. There’s just no duplicating it.
