It was late to arrive this year, but autumn is truly here now. Here in the Netherlands, it means that the days are not only getting colder, but also a lot wetter. Dark and damp is really the best way to describe the Dutch weather right now. It can be quite depressing. So to combat this I like to add some warmth and spice to our food. For me, nothing quite hits the spot like a plate of chili con carne.
