While this galette is of course all about showcasing the perfect juicy pear, it's hard not to give all of the attention to the chestnut frangipane. 

This ultra moist loaf is my take on pumpkin bread. Kabocha squash is what I always wished canned pumpkin would taste like- rich, sweet, and complex, with a dense, smooth texture.

This luxurious risotto features two of fall’s most celebrated darlings: dense, orange fleshed winter squash (which, coincidentally happen to trickle into season from late summer into early fall) and new season walnuts. Kabocha, red kuri, blue hubbard, or butternut squash all work for this recipe.
