If the fall season has you craving all the pumpkin spice latte vibes, this tasty cocktail combines the warm flavors of pumpkin spice with the smooth and creamy texture of an espresso martini, creating a truly irresistible concoction. The perfect drink for any autumn gathering or cozy night in.

How Did Pumpkin Spice Latte Get So Popular? 

Though Starbucks didn’t invent the pumpkin spice latte, they perfected it. The drink started in the ’80s and ’90s, when there was a push in the coffee industry to diversify café menus with more specialties. But the trend really hit its peak in in the early 2000s as the first viral social media coffee drink, with people sharing photos of their coffee on a wacky new app called Instagram. People have been drinking coffee with spices for millennia, but never has it been so easy to broadcast to everyone you know that you’re celebrating fall with a seasonal drink. In a way, the PSL is an early example of how social media crazes started to influence food and beverage trends. So, here we are with a pumpkin spice latte cocktail. Maybe you think it’s basic. Maybe you love it. But you can’t deny that you’re tempted!

Keto Pumpkin Donuts

You won’t believe these pumpkin donuts are keto-friendly. Thanks to pumpkin puree and cream cheese, you wind up with a moist, not-too-sweet treat with just the right amount of spiced flavor. Whoever said low-carb couldn’t be delicious?

What Makes a Recipe Keto? 

The ketogenic diet or “keto” is a low-carb, high-fat, and moderate-protein eating plan that aims to put the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. How this works in practice is that instead of ordinary sugar, the keto diet suggests replacements like monkfruit sweetener. Where often the conventional wisdom around dieting takes out fat entirely, keto recognizes that our bodies actually need fat in order to retain energy, and that it’s carbs and processed sugar that are the real problem. This makes our Keto Pumpkin Donuts a treat that anyone can enjoy.

“Everyone loves a Mai Tai,” says Pittsburgh bartender Kaitlin Fellers, “And this pumpkin-spiced variation should be no exception.” Using Maggie’s Farm Rum spiced and 50/50 dark rums, Kaitlin creates the perfect combination of orange, clove, and molasses in this Tiki drink-turned-fall. A touch of orgeat, the creamy, mildly sweet nonalcoholic syrup that stars many classic Tiki-inspired cocktails, adds an extra dash of flavor. “You’ll want to keep sipping,” Kaitlin assures.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Linzer Cookies

0
Pumpkin Pie Spice Linzer Cookies spread on a wooden surface, dusted with powdered sugar

Filled with cranberry compote, and just right for end-of-year holidays, these Pumpkin Pie Spice Linzer Cookies feature a buttery crust made from almond flour and graham crackers. They are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves the flavors of fall and winter. Not to mention, who could deny their beautiful design. With the use of cookie cutters, even the most beginner of bakers can look like a pro. Remember to work smarter not harder! We also recommend having a rolling pin, parchment paper, cookie cutters (1 large, 1 small), small sifter, and a hand immersion blender at the ready to make this recipe.

What are Linzer Cookies?

Linzer cookies are a traditional Austrian cookie known mostly for its visual appeal and jam filling. It typically consists of a shortcrust pastry filled with a sweet raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar on top. The unique feature of linzer cookies is the decorative latticework pattern on top of the pastry, often cut out with a special cookie cutter. The latticework not only adds visual appeal but also allows the aroma of the jam to escape, enhancing the overall taste and experience. In our case, we substitute the usual jam filling for a cranberry compote that then perfectly balances the taste of pumpkin in the actual cookie base.

What is Pumpkin Pie Spice, Anyways?

Pumpkin pie spice isn’t an actual spice on its own, rather it’s a spice blend that embodies fall. The versatile mixture usually uses common baking spices like ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Some variations may also incorporate allspice or mace. All these together replicate that warm, sweet, and aromatic flavor profile of classic pumpkin pie and the fall season.

6 Chefs Share Their Dream Dishes for the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta

0
Crispy Chile Pakora Fritters with Spinach, Onion, and Aromatic Spices, Served with Cilantro-Mint Chutney and Chicken Malai Kabab. Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta

It’s a must on Santa Fe’s culinary calendar. The Wine & Chile Fiesta returns for its 32nd year, September 27 to October 1, 2023. It all started in September 1991 as a one-day food and wine event. Today, it’s five days with over 60 restaurants and 90 wineries. Come hungry (and thirsty), and you’re guaranteed to leave happy and full. We asked six chefs who are taking part to prepare one of their dream dishes.

Slow-Cooked Oxtail Dish with Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, Rosemary, Thyme, and Cinnamon. Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta

Jambo Cafe

Caribbean-Spiced Slow-Cooked Oxtail with Mofongo & Collard Greens

Chef Ahmed Obo’s oxtail dish is comfort food that meets the Caribbean. The oxtail is tender and melting. The collard greens cut through the richness of the meat, while the mofongo–a patty made with green plantains–is the perfect sponge to soak up the juices. What to drink? Chef Obo suggests a Porcupine Ridge Syrah from South Africa. It’s full-bodied with ripe dark fruit flavors and a hint of black pepper and violets–just the thing for this Caribbean comfort classic. Get the recipe here.

Burrata Caprese Recipe with Heirloom Tomatoes, Burrata, Tangerine Juice, and Balsamic Pearls. Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta

Sassella

Burrata Caprese

There is Caprese salad, and then there is Sassella’s Caprese salad. Chef Cristian Pontiggia starts with house-made burrata, pairs it with local heirloom tomatoes, adds capers for a sharp punch as well as a swirl of walnut basil pesto, and finishes it with a garnish of Hawaiian basil, tangerine Calabrian chile oil (a game-changing ingredient), dehydrated garlic, volcanic black salt, and balsamic pearls that he creates. It’s a dish that speaks to both the eyes and the stomach in equal measure. To drink, he suggests a Brunello di Montalcino: “Strong on flavor, but with the burrata, a perfect pairing.” Get the recipe here.

Crispy Chile Pakora Fritters with Spinach, Onion, and Aromatic Spices, Served with Cilantro-Mint Chutney and Chicken Malai Kabab

Raaga-Go

Chile Pakora with Cilantro-Mint Chutney and Chicken Malai Kebab with Mango Habanero Chutney

Ask Chef Paddy Rawal what inspires his cooking and he’ll tell you two things. “People eat with their eyes first, and spice is for flavor, not for heat.” His food is indeed eye-catching, colorful and bright, generous with herbs like cilantro and mint. His use of spices is a masterclass with everything from fenugreek leaves, chaat masala, carom seeds, coriander, and cumin making appearances. The result is food that is balanced and spiced impeccably. It’s also a food that’s as generous and welcoming as the chef himself. Get the recipe here.

Octopus Braised in a Symphony of Flavors with Sticky Rice, Wasabi Emulsion, Teriyaki Glaze, and Yuzu Aioli

Horno

Teriyaki-Glazed Octopus with Sticky Rice, Wasabi Emulsion, Yuzu Aioli & Furitake

Chef David Sellers’s dish, like the food he serves at his restaurant Horno is all about contrasts. Here there is richness from the teriyaki, balanced by the acidity from the yuzu and heat from the wasabi. To drink, Chef Sellers suggests L’Escale, a Sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley. It’s juicy, fresh and can hold its own with this dish. For Sellers–a seasoned Wine & Chile Fiesta veteran–the annual event never loses its magic. “I love it. I’ll always support Wine & Chile. I think it’s one of the best events in Santa Fe.” Get the recipe here.

Exquisite Salmon Poke Infused with Yuzu, Truffled Yuzu Kosho Sauce, Spicy Avocado Purée, and Crispy Rice Cracker

Catch Santa Fe Poke

Salmon Poke with Yuzu

Chef Dakota Weiss’s Salmon Poke with Yuzu is nothing less than a plate of edible art. The ingredients–from the wafer-thin slices of lotus root and Fresno chile, to the green pops of color from her avocado purée–create a dazzling display of contrasting yet complementary flavors and textures. Artfully arranged gold flake miso sesame cracker shards are the pièce de resistance. To drink? Chef Weiss suggests a dry Riesling or an Albariño as the perfect accompaniment to this work of art. Get the recipe here.

Green Chili Risotto Recipe with Green Chile Purée, Perfect Eggs, and Microgreens

Bishop’s Lodge

Green Risotto

Ask Chef Peñalosa Nájera of Bishop’s Lodge about the ingredients for his signature green risotto and the answer is simple: Hatch green chile, poblano, “perfect egg,” and mushrooms. But probe deeper and you’ll discover a huge amount of technique behind this Southwestern riff on a classic Italian risotto. Chef Nájera is from Mexico City and has worked in Colombia, Spain, and England and this immersion in other cultures and cuisines shows in his food. “I try to bring my own experience of traveling to this dish,” he says, and it shows. Get the recipe here.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Pancakes topped with Apple Compote served on a plate with a fork with butter, syrup, and a cup of juice on the sides

Two fall favorites come together in our Pumpkin Pancakes recipe for a dish full of cozy, autumn flavor. Who can resist pumpkins and apples when the leaves turn brown and orange? These warm, fluffy pancakes are like a pumpkin spice latte in breakfast form. This recipe gets an added flare when topped with a homemade apple compote. Easy to make, even easier to eat.

What is Apple Compote?

Apple compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that is made from cooked apples. It’s almost like a syrup with fresh apple chunks inside. It can be served warm or cold and is often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Compote is a great way to use up apples that are past their prime, and can be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, filling for pies and tart, or, in this case, added on top of pancakes!

Contemporary Craft’s New Exhibition Shines a Light on Climate Change

Contemporary Craft’s new exhibition, Climate Awakening: Crafting A Sustainable Future, which opened on September 8, looks at our planet-wide crisis through the lens of art.

Despite ever-mounting evidence and a barrage of catastrophic events–people are still largely complacent about climate change. Because just watching the news and trying to absorb the information seems unable to tip us into sufficient action, the emotional connection forged by compelling works of art might be our last hope: humans are good at avoiding data, but when feelings are involved, we tend to get fired up.

Carved plywood, Dimensions: 15 x 46 x 11 inches (38 x 117 x 28 cm)

That fire is exactly what’s needed to change our behavior before the damage to our planet is irreversible. We are seeing the effects of climate change in our own Western Pennsylvania neighborhoods. Our riverside communities see flash-flooding more frequently. Urban heat islands are raising city temperatures by an average of five degrees. Severe weather events have increased in recent years.

In addition to examining the work of four contemporary creators, Climate Awakening: Crafting A Sustainable Future will serve as a catalyst for community engagement by hosting a series of action events that explore the artistic, intellectual, and social issues relevant to the show. Featured artists include Adrien Segal, Courtney Mattison, Susie Ganch, and Meghan Price. The show opened on September 8 and runs through January 13, 2024.

What does neutral taste like? Earthy, nutty, crunchy curiosity. To savor a bit of neutral’s wonderful qualities, try The Taste Curators‘ recipe for Fennel and Coriander Cashews.

The impact of color is so profound that it’s been said that it influences 85% of our purchasing decisions. When you really think about it, this is as true when picking out the freshest bunch of basil as it is when choosing a new hat or new wallpaper. If we open ourselves up to it and acknowledge its power, color makes for impactful experiences.

When trying the following herb roasted cashews recipe, take a moment to stop and think about what you are tasting. Enjoy the moment and savor the palate happening in your mouth and the palette on your plate.

Fennel and Coriander Cashews Recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp kosher salt
1 large egg white
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups (9 oz) roasted unsalted cashews

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small skillet, combine the coriander seeds and fennel seeds. Place over medium heat, stirring often, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Using a mortar and pestle or the back of a skillet, lightly crush the seeds.
  3. In a medium bowl combine the salt, egg white, and sugar. Whisk until thick, creamy and ribbony, about 3 minutes. Add the nuts and toasted crushed seeds and fold together to coat the cashews in the egg white. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Turn the oven up to 300 degrees and roast another 15 minutes. The nuts should be lightly golden and just slightly tacky to the touch. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
  4. Nuts can be made up to 2 days in advance if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
