We can't help but wonder if the cold weather doesn’t make Sunday lunch just that little bit better? Maggie likes nothing more than to plan a lazy day of comfort food to share with family and friends. The kind of gathering where everyone can chip in and help if the moods so strikes, or just take part in pre lunch conversation with a glass in hand, around the fire.

We're hoping Maggie's beautiful Kale & Preserved Lemon Tart will keep the cold at bay with each mouthful. Starting with baby onions roasted in vino cotto, a delicious accompaniment to pate and a glass of Cider if you’d like to add that in as more of a pre lunch nibble while the tart is cooking. Then followed much later in the afternoon with a favourite cheese and a matching fruit paste. Hearty comfort food to help the afternoon easily slip into early evening, in time for one last coffee, or another glass of Shiraz.
