The flavors of fall used to be cinnamon and nutmeg, mingled periodically with sage, toasted pecan, and of course, pumpkin. Have no fear, those flavors are still strong—but there’s much more to an increasingly global palate.

Tier two ingredients include caramel, pomegranate, sweet potato, and honey. These are flavors we are already incorporating into our cooking on a regular basis, and they will be the flavors that evoke fall for our children for years to come.
For at least the last five years, we have been seeing more and more recipes featuring butternut squash, walnut, and stronger vegetable flavors such as Brussel Sprouts. More recently, emerging ingredients include maple, cardamom, harissa (a blend of hot chiles, garlic and more), ginger, and baharat (a blend of Middle Eastern spices).

Without question, our palates are handling hotter spices and are willing to be a bit more adventurous. We’re watching ghost pepper, more varieties of balsamic vinegar, and stronger flavors such as anise pop up in recipes and on cooking websites.
We’re also embracing flavors that tend to help even things out, like jicama and pear, plantain and pineapple and — have you noticed? — orange seems to be an ingredient in everything.
If you want to branch out and experience some of these flavors, consider one of the following recipes.

When you’re watching insanely addictive videos on TikTok, Instagram and Youtube, it’s easy to forget that a good deal of food TV is still watched on television. Major streaming services like Netflix and Hulu offer compelling shows that offer one of two things: food competitions (that help us see the look in someone’s face when they lose a cooking competition) and dramas/documentaries that look like they took months to film because… they did.
For those of you who enjoy programming longer than one minute long, we’ve compiled a list of upcoming food shows in chronological order — from soonest to latest — with network and debut date.

Watch the Hulu trailer and keep an eye out for when the host tells the contestants they will be making a “pizza cupcake” and the 82-year-old just says “no.”
Bob’s Burgers
Network: Fox
Debuts: September 25
After 12 seasons — and a movie this summer (see trailer below) — this animated characters franchise is back. Bob’s Burgers is essentially a family comedy show depicting the Belchers (great name) struggling to keep the family biz alive; it’s a burger joint in New England. Listen and watch the “Floppy Waffle” song video here.
Easy-Bake Battle: The Home-Cooking Competition
Network: Netflix
Debuts: October 12
Yes, the show is basically a culinary competition focused on the Easy-Bake ovens from your youth. The Netflix show page doesn’t offer much in background, but it will be hosted by Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski and the first season will feature eight, 30-minute episodes.

From Scratch
Network: Netflix
Debuts: October 22
This miniseries is based on Tembi Locke’s 2019 bestselling memoirFrom Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily and Finding Home, which is described thusly on her website:
“[This is a] poignant and transformative cross-cultural love story set against the backdrop of the Sicilian countryside, about how one woman discovered the healing powers of food, family and unexpected grace in her darkest hour.
An incredible journey through Tembi’s life, the book tracks her relationship with her late husband, Saro through three summers spent in the Sicilian countryside. In this sweeping story, we see Tembi and Saro’s initial introduction on the streets of Florence, Italy, their move to Los Angeles as they forge a life together despite disapproval from Saro’s traditional Sicilian parents, and the rare illness that upends everything they thought they knew about family and forgiveness. Ultimately, Tembi’s tribulations lead her back to the Sicilian countryside and her mother-in-law’s table, where with the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close-knit community, and the power of enduring love, she finds the strength to step into a new life.”
Reese Witherspoon is one of the producers through her Hello Sunshine production company.
Drink Masters
Network: Netflix
Debuts: October 28
Eater wonders if it’s “Top Chef but for drinks?”… Here’s what we know:
1) The show stars Tone Bell (stand-up comedian and actor), Julie Reiner (legendary NYC-based bar owner), and Frankie Solarik (co-owner of Toronto’s popular bar BarChef).
2) 12 contestants from across North America complete challenges against a clock — and one person is banished every episode until there’s an “Ultimate Drink Master.”
3) The cocktails will be judged by their taste and presentation.
Expect boozy humor.
Martha Cooks

Learn everything from Martha’s techniques for preparing paella for a crowd to how to bake Martha’s three favorite cookies of all time.

Several years ago, when HBO was airing the final season of Game of Thrones (based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series), the excitement manifested itself in elaborate “watch parties” around the world. Food Channel participated by sharing a few drinks and dishes based on the warring families and on some of the more compelling characters, like the White Walkers and Dothraki.
With the debut of the prequel in 2022 (House of the Dragon), we decided to re-share this post, recipes and all.
What Is Dead May Never Die
This cocktail, inspired by House Greyjoy, was crafted with Deveron 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch from the Deveron Distillery in northeastern Scotland. The scotch is nuanced with the flavors of dill and caraway from Aquavit and a touch of dried seaweed from Dashi. Created by Andrew Record, National Single Malts Ambassador for Deveron in San Francisco.

In honor of National Fried Chicken Day, we bring you a finely curated collection of the world’s most interesting, insightful, and ingenious fried chicken memes. Sourced from multiple social-media platforms, these variations on a theme seem to fit into one of three categories:
Fried chicken is the best thing on Earth.
It’s funny yet gratifying to see fried chicken where it doesn’t belong.
Fried chicken pairs especially well with Jack Nicholson.
Please note we did not include memes dedicated to Chicken McNuggets, chicken wings, “chicken butt,” or “winner, winner, chicken dinner.” We’re focusing on fried chicken and only fried chicken. Cluck yeah. (If you were looking for fried chicken recipes, we have those too.)
The Oreo cookie and Ritz cracker combo has taken the Internet by storm. We found a video that shows how to make your ow, plus an ebay auction for a single box.
In late May, the Internet nearly blew up upon seeing the latest Oreo collab. In case you missed it, this was a sweet-n-savory mashup that paired regular Oreos with Ritz crackers and peanut butter.
The product was released in limited quantities on May 26 (free with $3.95 shipping fee), immediately sold out, and regular folks like you were left with two options if you wanted a taste: Make your own or pay auction price — which was $600 on Ebay recently.
It’s possible that the parent company of both products, Mendelez International, will do it again. Or will offer other creative collaborations; they also own Chips Ahoy, Triscuits, Tate’s Bake Shop, Sour Patch Kids, Wheat Thins, and Toblerone. Can you think up a mashup worth doing with any of these products?
Meantime, we leave you with this video of @alexawhatsfordinner making her own Oreo-Ritz goodness on Instagram.

Of all the pizza memes online these days, none worried pizza lovers more than the “How would they know” videos. The premise is simple: There’s a simple, elegant, dare we say clever way that a pizza worker could, indeed, steal a slice from a pie before serving and customers would have no clue. It’s a cruel, vicious hack, but so eeeeasy.
Here’s how it works: The large pie comes out of the oven, the person with the pizza cutter carves out either a huge triangular slice or a 2-inch rectangle from the center of the pie, and then pushes the two (now smaller) halves together before dividing the rest of the triangular slices.
This video, from Visa channel, shows the technique where a triangular slice is removed from a pie, followed by the simple recombining of the two halves.
This video, from @pizzasalvatore, demonstrates an alternative way to snatch pizza covertly. Specifically, via a rectangular slice.
Other versions of the meme scrap the “Who’s gonna know?/Nobody’s gonna know” shtick and pair the hack technique with a song (in this case “Rockstar” by DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch, 1.4 billion streams on Spotify).
According to Know Your Meme, the audio in these clips stem from an audio clip from the American television series Bad Girls Club containing the “Nobody’s gonna know, nobody’s gonna know,” and subsequent “They’re gonna know,” and ending with a “How would they know?”
If you peruse the content at the #GonnaKnow hashtag, you’ll see it means someone is doing something deceitful while lip-syncing to the clip. And praying they don’t get busted.
Cglaeason22, the original uploader of the audio clip, posted the video on March 25th, 2020. He was “debating myself on whether or not i should make a fake account just to post comments on my videos” and this clip saw more than 1.7 million views and 202 thousand likes in six months.
Other TikToks followed, including seanghedi posted a Gonna Know video captioned, “me getting my septum pierced against my parents wishes.” The video received over 496,000 views and 108,000 likes in five months.
