Easy living
Embrace the new season and hunker on down, says Harriet Paige
Acacia hit!
Ikea’s new Skogsta collection hits all the right HomeStyle buttons! Simple and utilitarian, pieces are made from solid acacia wood – which is super durable and great in the sustainability stakes. Prices are right on the mark too – it’s less than a tenner for handy storage crates or just £350 for a showstopping table that seats eight.
Skogsta dining table, £350; bench (60cm), £25; bench (120cm), £40; stool, £15, all Ikea
Soul food
Go on, slow down and enjoy a nourishing home-cooked meal, says Lizzie Kamenetzky
One of my favourite things about winter is indulging in all of that delicious comfort food. Winter Cabin Cooking by Lizzie Kamenetzky is the perfect hibernation cookbook. Taking inspiration from snow-covered mountains and alpine chalets, Lizzie offers up her favourite ski-town dishes. From hearty goulash to wickedly tasty tarte tatin, this is food for warming the soul. Published by Ryland, Peters & Small, £19.99.
