Members' Kitchen — September 2026 Update

Welcome to this month's update from the Members' Kitchen. This page is here to help you orient yourself — what's new, what we're focusing on, and where you might want to begin. September has been our biggest month yet, anchored by a full Canadian Thanksgiving collection, plus a run of cozy autumn baking and a whole new lineup of spiced coffee drinks. As always, if you spot anything that doesn't look right, let us know. 📈 A Growing Library We're closing in on 400 recipes on the site, about 75% of which are for Members only. Some of this month's additions were inspired by a recent East Coast trip, a visit to a small-town cafe, a day out on Lake Erie, as well as the whole series built around planning and prepping for Canadian Thanksgiving. We hope you'll explore around the site and take some inspiration for trying something new. 🍽 New Recipes This Month September's additions centre on a complete Thanksgiving spread, with autumn baking, a hearty soup, a East Coast breakfast classic, and a batch of new lattes rounding things out. The Canadian Thanksgiving Collection This month we built out a complete Thanksgiving table — mains, sides, sauces, and dessert — along with a planning guide to help you get through the day without the stress. Maple-Herb Roast Turkey Rich Turkey Gravy from Drippings Classic Canadian Thanksgiving Stuffing Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Brown Butter & Sage Maple-Roasted Root Vegetables Honey-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts Maple-Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes Fresh Cranberry-Orange Sauce Maple Apple Crisp Classic Maple Pumpkin Pie Classic Canadian Butter Tarts Autumn Baking & Comfort Cloud Cake (Japanese Cotton Cheesecake) Apple Cider Spice Cookies Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Brown Butter, Sage & Maple Traditional Newfoundland Toutons Crispy Pickerel Fish & Chips Oven-Baked Pickerel & Chips New Lattes Emma's Honey-Spiced Latte Grounded Kitchen Apple Butter Latte Grounded Kitchen Gingerbread Latte Members can browse everything in the Members' Recipes section using filters or keyword search. 🧠 Skill Focus This month's Skill Focus is all about getting ahead of the biggest cooking day of the fall. Preparing for a Thanksgiving Meal Without the Stress — a practical timeline and planning guide for spreading the work out over the days before, so the big day itself feels calmer. Browse all Skills articles → 🌿 Wellness & Reflection Our wellness focus this month, and every month, is on how you can improve physical and emotional well-being through better planning, more intentional habits, and being present for those around you. No new Wellness articles were published this month — instead, we'd point you toward the Thanksgiving planning guide above, which carries a lot of the same spirit: doing less at once, and being more present for the parts that matter. Browse all Wellness articles → This Month's Reflection In this section, we hope to summarize the thoughts that Members submit each month that we think would be of interest or help to the broader community. You're invited to reflect privately, jot down notes, or submit a response if you'd like to contribute to the ongoing conversation. Your views will always remain anonymous. There are prompts to submit your thoughts throughout the articles and recipes, and you can always do so on the Submit a Reflection page found in the Members Kitchen menu under Members' Input. 🤝 Community Contributions We'd love to receive more recipes submitted directly by Members — this helps build the library for everyone. Submissions can be made through the link in the main Members Kitchen menu under Members' Input. We've also kept the Members' Comment page open for anyone who wants to share something directly with the community. 🔧 What Else We're Experimenting With A few changes are rolling out around the site as we keep refining things: the homepage now has a new monthly Featured Recipe link we've begun revamping the main menu so that Recipes, Wellness, and Skills articles are more readily accessed — more changes may come as we try to make the site more streamlined and user friendly if you visit the site, you may see a pop-up inviting you to install our app on your mobile device; the instructions are straightforward for both Apple and Android devices, and it may make accessing the site easier than through a browser we've also been experimenting with some digital products in the store, including digital art, guides, and a few recipes that non-Members could purchase — we'll see how this goes we've added a comments section at the bottom of the public recipes, and may bring this feature to Members-only recipes going forward as well ❤️ Giving Back As always, 5% of this month's membership subscriptions will be donated to organisations working to address food insecurity. Your membership directly supports both this community and broader access to nourishment and cooking resources. Where to Start (If You're New or Short on Time) If this is your first visit — or if life is full right now — here are three easy entry points: pick one Thanksgiving side to test-run before the big day — the Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Brown Butter & Sage or the Maple-Roasted Root Vegetables are both low-risk and high-reward read the Thanksgiving planning guide and jot down your own timeline spend a few minutes with the reflection prompt, without trying to "solve" anything That's enough. Looking Ahead Next month we'll shift from Thanksgiving into deeper autumn and early winter comfort cooking, and continue building out the Discovery modules and Skills library.
