With pears in season until February, I like to find a lot of different ways to enjoy them. Today I’ve sliced and tossed them into a pear, lentil, and chickpea salad – but what I enjoy most about this recipe is the white wine pear dressing! A combination of wine, shallot, pears, and pure maple. It’s so bright and robust and it makes plenty to keep and enjoy over the next few days, too.

Acorn squash, hinted with warm nutmeg and herbs, butter-roasted and caramelized with a dusting of parmesan until crisp and golden. Harvested in autumn and in season through winter, acorn squash is an acorn-shaped, dark green winter squash, with deep ridges that run from the tip to the base.
