Fall’s Best Flavors On Your Table

It’s that time of year again! As the leaves begin to change color and the air gets that perfect sweater-weather crisp, it is time to embrace all things pumpkin, apple, and spice. Whether you are hosting a fall dinner party or just craving something seasonal, Schmidt Bros. is here to help you impress your guests and get you in the Autumn spirit. From creative appetizers to hearty entrees, these delicious recipes will have you savoring every bite of fall. 


Roasted Chicken and Acorn Squash with Sumac Brown Butter 

Acorn squash? Yes, please! This recipe by Josh Miller is the culinary equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket and sitting by the fire. Juicy roasted chicken paired with a caramelized acorn squash makes for a dish that’s both rustic and elegant, while the tangy kick of sumac brings it all together. You’ll want to savor every bite. 

  • Slicing Tip: When it comes to preparing an acorn squash, a sturdy knife will be your best friend. For this dish we recommend the Schmidt Bros. Crosstown 8” Chef’s Knife. It’ll glide through the squash like a dream, leaving you plenty of time to light a fall candle and pour a glass of red wine (that we would definitely recommend pairing with this dish). P.S.our Schmidt Bros. Heritage 7” Santoku Knife for slicing the chicken with ease is also chef’s kiss. 

  • Pumpkin Gorgonzola Ravioli

    If you’re looking to impress dinner guests or just treat yourself, look no further than this indulgent Ravioli dish. The savory-sweet combination of roasted pumpkin and creamy gorgonzola cheese is nothing short of decadent. It’s the perfect blend of comforting fall flavors with a sophisticated twist. 

  • Slicing Tip: Rolling out pasta dough and shaping ravioli demands precision. Use the Schmidt Bros. Artisan 6” Chef’s Knife to slice through the dough effortlessly and ensure your ravioli edges are sharp and defined. Bonus: It’s also perfect for finely chopping that sage garnish. 

  • Butternut Squash Soup

    Not many things scream “fall” like a creamy, velvety butternut squash soup. This recipe from Love and Lemons combines roasted butternut squash, a touch of ginger, and savory spices to create the ultimate comfort food. It’s smooth, rich, and packed with flavor, perfect for those cool autumn evenings when you need a little extra warmth in your life. This soup can be served with focaccia bread or corn bread for the ultimate experience.

  • Slicing Tip: The key to this soup? Evenly cut squash. The Schmidt Bros. Heritage 8” Chef’s Knife is the tool to make sure every cube is precise, helping your soup cook evenly and come together beautifully. 

  • Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad with Dried Cranberries

    Brussel sprouts are an amazing addition for fall salads, and this recipe pairs them with dried cranberries, nuts, and a bright citrus dressing. This salad makes for a refreshing side that balances out all the richness of those cozy mains. Erin Merhar recommends adding sliced pears, apples, pumpkin seeds, or walnuts to really dress this salad up. It’s crunchy, tang, and exactly what you need to add some brightness to your fall harvest table. 

  • Slicing Tip: Getting those Brussel sprouts thin enough for a salad can be a bit tricky, but not with the Schmidt Bros. Evolution 7” Nakiri Knife. The wide blade of this Japanese-style vegetable knife is made specifically for slicing veggies with precision, giving you perfectly shaved sprouts in no time. 

  • Apple Butter Cheese Twists 

    These puff pastry twists are the perfect sweet and salty treat to wrap up your meal or snack on with a cup of cider (warm or chilled - we won’t judge). Flaky puff pastry, a gooey assortment of cheeses, and rich apple butter (our favorite premade option is made by Stonewall Kitchen) come together in a buttery, golden delicious hors d'oeuvre or side that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. 

  • Slicing Tip: For flawlessly even twists, reach for the Schmidt Bros. Artisan 8” Serrated Bread Knife. It’ll glide through the puff pastry without crushing it, giving you those gorgeous spirals that bake up beautifully crisp and flaky. 

  • With these recipes and the right cutlery knife sets, your fall harvest feast is guaranteed to be a hit. Whether you’re prepping squash, slicing dough, or whipping up a sweet apple dessert this season, Schmidt Brothers Cutlery has all the knives and cutlery sets you need to make cooking as enjoyable as eating.
