Savory Spicefall: Beyond the Pumpkin Pie by Matthew Petchinsky is more than a cookbook-it's a manifesto that reclaims pumpkin spice from its sugary stereotype and transforms it into a global savory ingredient. Instead of lattes and pies, this groundbreaking work explores soups, curries, pasta, dumplings, rubs, and even romantic meals where pumpkin spice becomes a secret weapon of depth and balance.

Across ten chapters, readers learn how to bloom spices in oil, pair them with umami-rich foods, and fuse them into world cuisines-from Moroccan tagines and Indian curries to Cajun stews and Japanese broths. Each recipe is detailed, photorealistic, and designed to spark curiosity while remaining practical for home kitchens. Appendices provide quick-reference grids for pairings, preservation, and global spice fusions, making this not just a cookbook but a timeless culinary reference.

With its bold vision and elegant design, Savory Spicefall is perfect for adventurous cooks, food lovers, and anyone ready to see pumpkin spice as more than a seasonal gimmick. This book isn't about fall-it's about flavor without borders.
