"I can’t understand people who don’t enjoy winter. Yes, it’s cold, but there’s knitwear! Yes, seasonal produce is a bit thin on the ground, but what a joy to play with the wonderful ingredients that are around. If cooking is all about pleasure and generosity, then producing something comforting and satisfying out of fairly little has to be as good as it gets. These recipes celebrate all that’s great about January: rich flavours balanced by sharpness, new ideas to start the new year, and the joy of taking your time to make dishes that are both unexpected and wonderful. It’s what winter’s all about.
