Spiced Orange and Ginger Roast Duck

This Spiced Orange and Ginger Roast Duck is a stunning centerpiece for a small holiday gathering or any special occasion. Infused with warm five-spice, zesty orange, fresh ginger, and garlic, the duck is roasted to perfection with crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. An aromatic glaze made from fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, star anise, and sliced ginger adds a glossy, sweet-savory finish that brings a beautiful Asian-fusion twist to this fall-inspired dish. Best of all, the rendered duck fat is a bonus treasure—perfect for roasting potatoes or enhancing future dishes. Elegant, bold, and deeply satisfying, this is a roast duck that delivers both comfort and wow factor.

Longworth Family Pumpkin Soup

Handed down through the Longworth family, this treasured recipe was introduced to us by my brother’s former roommate and quickly became a beloved staple in ours. This pumpkin soup is everything you could want in a fall dish: rich, creamy, and packed with bold flavor. A subtle kick from the curry powder blends beautifully with the earthy sweetness of pumpkin, creating a comforting and indulgent bowl. Pair it with a crispy grilled cheese for the ultimate meal on a cold fall afternoon or rainy evening. It’s a true seasonal gem that highlights warmth, tradition, and flavor.
