seasonal inspiration.
“I say it every year but, oh, how I love winter cookery: long, dark nights filled with the warm, teasing aromas of rum and ginger syrup or the soothing fragrance of a beef casserole bubbling gently on the hob… It’s about taking time to develop flavour with slow-cooked cuts of meat, beautiful fresh fish from icy waters, and simple root vegetables enriched with cheese, mayonnaise and spices. If you hate the bitter weather, a warm kitchen is the best place to be, so make the most of it: get the oven on and create joy with your wooden spoon.” REBECCA WOOLLARD, FOOD EDITOR
