Cooling temperatures inspire bigger flavours; as the season changes we begin to crave richer, more indulgent comfort foods in preparation for the coming winter season. A veteran of some of Toronto’s top kitchens, David Roy brings some seasonal favourites to the table; as his father would say: “Food that sticks to your ribs”. This menu seeks to deliver that special kind of autumn comfort that nourishes the body and soul — like a long, warm hug from the inside — especially when shared with loved ones or new friends.
