When Chef Kelly ponders autumn he thinks crisp.  The air, the apple, the vegetables roasted just so. Seasonal foods express comfort, home, and entertaining!!

The harvest season is about to begin. How can we help?



I think the apple is the epitome of Americana. When you think of an apple you can feel it sitting ever so comfortably in the palm of your hand. You can totally imagine that first crisp bite. Living in the midwest, an autumn does not go by without some reverence to the almighty apple. The local orchards are full, ripe and beckoning to my sense of simple fruit celebration and culinary expression. Apples say crunch. They say pick me up and take a bite from me. They want nothing more to be juiced, pressed and cidered. They  want to be baked, crumbled, sauced. They need to be complimented with sugar, cinnamon and clove. For all of us here at Classic Cuisines Catering, it’s about the Apple Crumble.  Tart thinly sliced apples, topped with a delectable crumbly spiced topping, baked crisp and served with a dollop of crème fraiche.

Be sure to ask for it for your next event.

 


I adore the novelty and tradition that a pumpkin can bring to an occasion. Something about its brilliant orange, it’s hardiness – it’s functional and multi-use properties. Pumpkins bring out the child in me, not a fall goes by without carving a jack-o-lantern. Classic Cuisines Catering often utilizes seasonal fruits and vegetables in their menu’s. Our most popular pumpkin recipe’s include spiced pumpkin nut bread, muffins, and an absolutely amazing pumpkin soup




Cinnamon is all about aroma, comfort and home. Many a homemaker will simply simmer a cinnamon stick to fill a room with it’s earthy warmth and goodness. As a chef I like to use it in a variety ways; it’s absolutely awesome in my chili, in many of my fruit desserts and makes a delicious addition to a hot cocoa.  If you haven’t added a bit to a chocolate chip cookie recipe you have no idea what you are missing.
