If you’ve been paying attention to your Insta feed, you may have noticed a new trend. It’s popping up all over Pinterest boards and on your favorite TikTokers’ videos: “cottagecore.”
The lifestyle aesthetic is based around, well … cottages. It emphasizes coziness, sustainability, rural living, nature and fall weather—and luckily, we have plenty of the above in Baton Rouge. “Cottagecore” recipes include items like homemade breads, soups and jams, and they make use of fresh herbs like rosemary and basil.
These are some of our favorite recipes from the many floating around on the internet right now. They’ll be just the thing if—or when—we get inundated by another tropical system later this week.

Blueberry Lavender Jam
Simmering lavender along with the rest of the ingredients infuse a subtle floral flavor into this deep-purple jam. Spread it on your favorite crusty bread.
French Onion Soup
