Our Canadian Thanksgiving is days away and it’s one of my favourite holidays of all. Gather, eat, savour and reflect on things to be grateful for – the simple things really are everything. Connecting and creating tasty food in our Cucina brings a lot of contentment and calm amidst our chaos and the frenzy that is Fall.

(*Thankful for you*) We’ve rounded up our flav-ourite Fall Recipes we think your family will love made with the season’s harvest. From simple appetizers and mains to savoury sweets, we hope these inspire you to connect and create with your loves and enjoy these tasty fall recipes for Thanksgiving and beyond.
