Butternut Squash, as it makes great soups
October 31st, 2011 at 4:46 pm
I like to bake in the winter time so my favourite ingredient would be chocolate for chocolate crinkles, chocolate chip cookies… maybe I’ll make some brownies this year too!
October 31st, 2011 at 5:23 pm
I’d have to say permissions. I love it as addition to cranberry sauce. Also, I love cabbage!
October 31st, 2011 at 5:47 pm
my favourite ingredient to cook with in during fall/winter is beets!
October 31st, 2011 at 6:01 pm
I love cooking with different types of squash and greens.
October 31st, 2011 at 7:14 pm
My favourite fall items to cook with are yams, because they remind me of Christmas dinner when I was little (except now, I can have them whenever I want!)

Love cooking with apples in the fall because they are so versatile….sauces, desserts, casseroles. My favourite by far is baked apples.

Pork belly! Every time that I cook bacon, I wish I had more…problem solved! Perfect for stews, roasting, ramen, breakfast hash, and even dessert. Seriously.
October 31st, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Pumpkin!
October 31st, 2011 at 10:24 pm
I love pumpkins!! I try to bake with them every year, they taste great!
October 31st, 2011 at 10:25 pm
My favorite time of year to cook to be honest! As temperatures are much more cooler outside, I have an excuse to use the oven all the time to cook because “it is too cold to be standing in the kitchen”. And thus my favorite ingredient would either be pork belly or lamb shanks. But since the poster above me mentioned pork belly, then lamb shank it is! Reason being, I LOVEEEEEEE lamb and braising it is so so easy but looks and tastes sophisticated!
I followed and retweeted!

I like cooking squash & Brussels sprouts
November 1st, 2011 at 12:14 am
I love local turkey for the fall and winter! Especially the big turkey feast at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Turkey is a great lean meat and so versatile, roasted to soups to casseroles to sandwiches!

I love cooking with squash – butternut squash soup epitomizes fall!
November 1st, 2011 at 9:17 pm
I love cooking with split peas…there is NOTHING better on a cold day than a big bowl of ham & split pea soup…I’m hungry not just thinking about it.

I love butternut squash. It speaks of cool nights and warmth trapped from the sun.A side dish of the fresh harvested tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and smothered with fresh chopped basilbrings all the warmth and flavor of summer back.
November 2nd, 2011 at 1:12 am
I love persimmons. They are so wonderful. Firm yet moist – healthy yet sweet – small, yet filling.
It’s a wonderful and underutilized piece of produce.
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:00 am
I love cooking with all the seasonal produce during fall! I just love roasting root vegetables in the oven – warm up the place and tastes delicious!
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:07 am
There’s a lot of squash at my house. I love it!
November 2nd, 2011 at 10:45 am
This year I’d like to try incorporating pumpkin into my winter cooking repertoire – it’s healthy and delicious!

Deep fried brussel sprouts sprinkled with sea salt…. hmmmmmmm
November 2nd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
definitely apples…they are so versatile and make the best pies!!
November 2nd, 2011 at 8:47 pm
I like cooking with spaghetti squash and fall rootstock generally. I love this time of year!
November 3rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Apples! I like to add them in savoury dishes or make applesauce with a bit of cinnamon to eat with a hearty meat!
November 3rd, 2011 at 11:24 pm
I like to cook with pumpkin…. we found a great recipe this year for pumpkin cupcakes…. yum!
November 4th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Full-bodied red wine — it’s great in sauces and stews, which are perfect cold weather dishes!
November 4th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Yams! They are easy and versatile and waaaaay better tasting than potatoes! And while I’m cooking in the fall, I like to enjoy a Granville Island Winter Ale…or two.
November 6th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
garlic and basil
November 6th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Squash (kabocha, spaghetti, love ‘em !) and brussels sprouts are easily my fall favorites! So to step aside from that, other ingredients I love are beans / lentils, pear, and fennel – and really, anything that can be whipped up into a stew / soup. noMmm…
November 7th, 2011 at 10:21 am
Great giveaway, Drew! I don’t have a particular ingredient i like cooking with that’s specific to fall/winter… anything that has good meat, i am happy with!
