While it still feels like August, the mornings have been cooler, thankfully. It got me in the mood to do some baking and kitchen projects to usher in autumn. Or rather pining for it more like! But just give the island a few more months, I tell myself, and it will be full-on sock and flannel weather! I have been purchasing a large harvest box of beautiful local produce from a local upcountry farm to support them after their loss in the fires, and last week, I had an abundance of aromatic herbs. So many, in fact, for just myself, I had to preserve them somehow.

Every season has it’s color story — summer with its vibrant green hues, spring and it’s soft and muted tones, winter with crisp whites and blues. Autumn is no exception and perhaps the most vibrant of them all.
