While fall has saw warmer-than-normal temperatures across the country, Canadians are still preparing for the colder weather when it comes to dinnertime planning.
A recent analysis of Google searches by meal-box delivery company, Chefs Plate, shows ‘autumn recipes’ are down 100% in the past week as searches for ‘winter meals’ surge.
