🎃 October in Montreal: Cozy Up with Pumpkin Season

As the leaves turn fiery red and gold, Montreal kitchens start to fill with the warm aroma of autumn spices. October is pumpkin season—a time to celebrate this versatile fall favorite, from comforting soups to sweet treats.

Why We Love Pumpkin

Pumpkin isn’t just for Halloween décor—it’s packed with vitamins, fiber, and a naturally sweet, earthy flavor that works in both savory and sweet dishes. Quebec-grown pumpkins and squashes arrive fresh in stores this month, making it the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen.

Easy Pumpkin Dishes to Try

• Creamy Pumpkin Soup – Simmer roasted pumpkin with onions, garlic, and broth, then blend until smooth.

• Pumpkin & Sage Pasta – Toss cooked pasta with pumpkin purée, cream, and fresh sage for a cozy dinner.

• Pumpkin Muffins – Soft, spiced, and perfect with a cup of coffee on a crisp October morning.

A Taste of Fall in Every Bite 🍂

Whether you’re carving a jack-o’-lantern 🎃, baking a pie 🥧, or trying a savory recipe, pumpkin brings the flavors of October right to your table.
