The Oracle staffer tries fall recipes

The Oracle staffer tries fall recipes

It’s that time of year again: Filling my tote bag with seasonal fruits from the local Palo Alto Farmers Market, on California Avenue, to conjure up all the classic fall flavors. Whipping up the Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp, my kitchen filled with the sweet and comforting aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. The blended spices and fruits of the nearby Creamy Roasted Tomato Pumpkin soup bubbled aromatically from the stove. To all fall-food lovers, these simple, savory and sweet recipes are the perfect way to celebrate the season and can be added to everyone’s cookbook.
