Let's slow it down and enjoy the last days of summer with a simple menu full of easy, seasonal favourites.

Forget bacon-wrapped grilled cheese. We're saying goodbye to exaggerated, over-the-top carnival creations, in favour of the long-running classics. Here are 5 you can eat with a $20 bill in your pocket.

When traditional fabrics like plaids, checks and tartans start to appear, it's a sure sign of fall. Get on board by mixing and matching plenty of patterns, and pair with chunky knits, preppy touches and wellies (of course.)

The newest nine-to-five looks work beyond the boardroom. Luxe fabrics like tweed, textured wool and touches of leather add polish to these feminine pieces with sleek silhouettes.

Sophisticated menswear styling is dominating the runways, but it doesn’t have to be all business. Mix in feminine layers with handsome accessories, and take your cue from the colour of the season: grey.

Designers can be a nostalgic bunch, and this season they're taking us back to the early '60s (the more conservative part of that decade). Matching coats and sleeveless dresses make a comeback, as do short-but-not-micro hemlines. Finish the look with knee-high boots and a box bag.

Incorporating fermented foods such as kimchee, kefir and sauerkraut into your diet is both delicious and healthy.

What do these fruits have in common — and how are they different? Find out!

Head to the store with our list, and you'll be set for dinner every night this week.

Alfresco dining is easier than ever with these perfect picnic dishes.

From our favourite sweet-chili tofu, to a black bean burger that will impress your most carnivorous friends, these dishes are an easy way to sneak something different onto the menu this week.

Packed with flavours and hearty ingredients (spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, ginger and more), this dish is best spooned up over warm rice for dinner.
