Q& A

This month we asked our contributors, what’s your go-to comfort food once fall hits?

Soup. I could eat soup as my only meal for the rest of my days and be happy. Whether it’s a ramen bowl (like Harvest Community Food’s miso-broth veggie version with tofu) or my mom’s bramborová polévka (that’s Czech for “potato soup”), come autumn, soup’s on!

My go-to comfort food for fall is hands down spaghetti Bolognese. My spin coach, who owns freshthinkingcatering.com, is an amazing cook who makes the best Bolognese— on occasion, he’ll make a batch or two for his clients.
