October brings the smell of roasted chestnuts, warm flavors and foods that remind us how delicious autumn can be. Chestnuts are much more than a favorite autumn snack. Its mild sweetness and delicate, floury texture make it an interesting ingredient for savory dishes, breakfast and various desserts.
I chose chestnut for the October star of the month.
October is the right time for chestnuts, one of the foods that immediately remind us of autumn, the smell of roasted fruits and pleasant days spent with warm meals. Its slightly sweet taste goes well with fruits, vegetables, herbs and various additions, so it can be found in savory dishes, but also in numerous sweet treats.
Note: I forgot to publish the “Star of the month” at the beginning of October, but the chestnut is also relevant in November, so this topic still has its place.
