This month, we explore the ancient origins of Halloween through a three-course menu rooted in the traditions of Samhain and All Souls' Day.

Course 1: Pear salad with pomegranate, squash, and sage.

Course 2: Shepherd's pie, a savory dish of minced meat topped with mashed potato and baked.

Course 3: Soul cakes, spiced cakes traditionally baked to remember the dead.
