Whether you’re preparing for the holidays or simply gathering for gathering’s sake, let Jenni’s cozy and refined seasonal scene—plus a delicious dish from chef and nutritionist Elissa Goodman—serve as perfect inspiration.

A Few Seasonal Details

To curate an air of fall festivity, you can’t go wrong with rich florals in appropriately moody shades. Pick up a bit of the natural color palette with seasonal napkins to round out the scene, and for that final touch—there’s no such thing as too many candles. Tip: for a cozy, lived-in feel, opt for tapers that have been melted down prior to varying degrees.

From the Farmer’s Market

Last, but certainly not least, comes the main event: the menu. For a dish that would nourish and delight—while looking equally beautiful on her table—Jenni tapped her favorite holistic nutritionist, Elissa Goodman. Light and nutritious but with all the flavor of classic rich comfort foods, her Creamy Orzo and Acorn Squash is a fall vegetarian recipe guaranteed to please any guest.
