Earl Grey and Ground Cherry Syrup

The Cherry Tea
“Here’s a cocktail to cocoon with on chilly autumn nights. I started with Earl Grey infused in a simple syrup made with seasonal ground cherries for good measure. In terms of spirits, rum and vermouth are an underrated match and a lot of home bars have them handy. The ground cherries blend well with the rum’s vanilla notes, while the orange garnish pairs nicely with the bergamot-flavoured tea. Put it alltogether and you have a balanced cocktail for fall.”— Nicolas Cadrin, recipe tester

Cucumber Melon Gazpacho
This cold soup blends inspirations: half Spanish gazpacho and, with a refreshing mix of yogurt, cucumber and mint, half Indian raita. When melons are at peak sugary and juicy ripeness, almost any variety will shine in this recipe. We’re particularly fond, however, of honeydew, canary melon and yellow watermelon.

Melon Hors D’Oeuvres
It doesn’t get more classic than melon and prosciutto, but we put our own spin on this antipasto by adding paper-thin slices of freshly picked fennel. Splashed with a little white balsamic vinegar, the fennel brings the dish into bright, licorice-laced territory. We made these little parcels by wrapping the melon and fennel with a slice of cured ham or a cucumber ribbon for a veg-friendly option.

Kohlrabi and Apple Salad
A newcomer in our curbside garden, this sturdy veg from the cabbage family is incredibly versatile. Turns out kohlrabi is addictively crunchy in the raw. We simply sliced it to make this salad, where it nestles with apple, plum, grapes and mizuna, a delicate little leaf with a mustardy taste not unlike arugula.

Parsnip Crème Brûlée
What do some of the best crème brûlée recipes have in common? A delicious infusion, to start. In this case, parsnip—simmered in milk and puréed—gives the classic dessert a complex, nutty lift. A touch of maple syrup complements the root vegetable’s unexpectedly sweet personality. Torch the sugared top to finish, and brace for applause.

Savoury Cucumber Yogurt with Toasted Almonds
For mid-morning pick-me-ups, there’s nothing better than this savoury yogurt flavoured with cucumber and garnished with crunchy almond slices.
-
Squash Coffee Cake
Ever notice the amber syrup that pools under pan-roasted butternut squash? The gourd packs a sugary punch that blends well in savoury and sweet foods. In this case, we harvested the flesh to take coffee cake—buttery, cinnamon-laced streusel included—to the next level.

Frozen Raspberry and Mango Trifle
How do you make a summer berry trifle even cooler? Think vanilla ice cream, two types of sorbet, cubes of angel food cake and tart lemon curd, for starters. Raspberries, in coulis form and sprinkled overtop, put an exclamation point on this easily twisted classic.
