With the first day of autumn comes the changing of the seasonal pictures in our kitchen. A quartet of heads, each representing a different season, gets readjusted. These whimsical portraits were created by Italian master, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, who is well known for his use of fruits and vegetables to create distinctive images.
Old man autumn is well represented by the inclusion of potatoes, grapes, squash, apples, wheat, rose hips, mushrooms, leeks and chestnuts. If only my garden had such bounty.
