Welcome!

So many people try to escape cold winters, whereas I love them, if only to experience the joy of walking into a warm kitchen with a one-pot meal simmering away.

My appetite is always the first thing to let me know that Winter is here! I find myself spending more and more time in the kitchen both because of the shortened days preventing most outdoor activities but also to enjoy the ‘slow food’ nature of Winter’s produce. Stewing, braising, roasting and poaching are such satisfying ways to cook food that warms from the inside out and with such delicious seasonal choices – persimmon, rhubarb, fennel, cauliflower – why not rediscover a few favourite hearty recipes?

Cheers,

Maggie
