Early autumn arrives gently: the air turns cool and crisp, the light softens, and the lingering warmth of summer begins to give way to the first signs of the new season.
Celebrating this transition, these recipes from Paris-based multidisciplinary studio MANGER MANGER bring together figs and pears at their autumnal best, with delicate notes of Japanese tea.
Balancing the freshness of late summer with the nuanced flavours of autumn, each recipe captures this moment in between seasons — light, delicate and made to be savoured slowly.
