March is a month of transition (not quite winter, not quite spring) so we've covered all the foodie bases this issue with 68 delicious recipes for slow-cooked roasts and indulgent puds as well as veg-packed lunches, healthy suppers, warming soups and fish galore. In our big interview we chat to The Hairy Bikers about beer, comfort food and the art of writing a cookery book, and seafood experts Mitch Tonks and Nathan Outlaw give us the low-down on the best fish and shellfish to eat at this time of year. Seville oranges may not be produced in the UK, but it doesn't get more British than marmalade – and preserve lovers across the land will be clamouring to get their hands on these bittersweet beauties during their short winter season. Read our marmalade masterclass to discover the secret to making perfect preserves in your own kitchen. We've also got handy tips and delicious recipes from the likes Pippa Middleton, Davina McCall, Edd Kimber and Allegra Mcevedy. And our 12 page baking special is packed with handy tips, cool kit and some seriously tempting recipes, including homemade sourdough bread, custard cream cheesecake and a heavenly sticky toffee traybake.
