It is that time of the year when the chill has set in, making way for sweater weather. The change of season not only indicates the arrival of festivities but also that of seasonal produce. The latter easily excites culinary enthusiasts more than anything else. Couple that with the holiday spirit and it becomes a treat for everybody around them, who turn willing guinea pigs for their experiments with fresh ingredients. 

Carrots, radish, spinach and green peas are some of the most widely used vegetables converted into delicious dishes during this time. These dishes extend beyond state borders and are celebrated in more ways than one.
