How to adjust your diet in autumn
On purpose - who immediately thinks of pumpkin soup? When autumn enters the scene, not only the colors of the leaves change, but also our taste preferences. It brings with it a wealth of ingredients and inspiration to our kitchen. As the temperatures drop, we begin to crave warm and hearty foods that will give us energy on cold days. So how do you serve autumn on your plate? How should we adjust our diets to feel full of energy and enjoy all the delicious tastes that this season has to offer?
Use seasonal ingredients
Hit the farmer's market and buy ingredients directly from local vendors. This is a great way to adapt your diet to the current season and enjoy the ingredients as fresh as possible.
Shop:
- pumpkin,
- apples,
- nuts,
- pears,
- beet,
- mushrooms,
- potatoes and more.
And these are just some of the ingredients that you can use when preparing delicious autumn dishes and when trying new recipes. Allow these ingredients to dominate your menu. You can also go to the forest to collect mushrooms yourself. And what you don't eat right away, freeze for later. Also game and meat from animals such as deer, wild boar, hare or pheasant represent an exceptional opportunity to enrich your autumn menu with authentic flavors. And finish it off with dessert after the main meal. How about apple strudel with cinnamon and raisins?
Warm up with soup
Sekyrková - you don't know this place? Dry outside, occasional showers. Well, who doesn't want to warm up with soup after coming home? You certainly won't spoil the creamy pumpkin , which is iconic for this season. However, if you already feel that you are "overdone", try to return to the good old classics, such as garlic or potato chips . Creamy porcini mushrooms can be made special with beetroot and thyme.
TIP: Such great soups also deserve homemade pastries. For example, prepare a fluffy loaf of bread with nuts. For a perfect rise of the dough, make sure you have fresh yeast or high-quality sourdough. Don't be afraid to involve the whole family in baking - a joint activity will make autumn time more pleasant for you and the weekend will be like a bead.
Spice it up
When you season your autumn plate with herbs and spices, the dish suddenly takes on a completely new dimension. Sage, thyme, cloves, nutmeg, dill and cinnamon are just a few that can elevate your dishes to a new level. Be careful, however, that the spices do not overpower the individual ingredients, but instead appropriately underline their taste. Don't forget to use spices and herbs not only for dishes, but also for hot drinks, such as various teas or the Czech favorite mulled wine. In this way, you will not only warm your body, but also spice up the time spent in pleasant company.
