To celebrate the Scottish poet Robert Burns birthday, we have put together some recipes for your Burns Night dinner this Friday.
Winter
Looking for hot drinks to keep you warm outside? We’ve got quick and easy ideas for hot drinks to enjoy in gardens, parks and beaches this winter.
Warming, satisfying and so easy to make, you can’t beat a good winter soup. Take a look at our collection for some fresh soup inspiration.
What’s in season in December? We look at recipes for the gorgeous winter veg, game birds and citrus fruit that are at their best in the middle of winter.
When I first started working with my good friend and mentor Gennaro Contaldo, many years ago at the Neal Street Restaurant, I used to see him coming into the kitchen carrying huge baskets of weird and wonderful mushrooms.
Smoky flavours, crackling textures and great warming bowls of steaming goodness – Bonfire Night is a feast of autumnal flavours and colours. So crack out the sparklers, wrap up warm, and tuck into our tasty ideas for a bonfire party – big or small.
Slow cooking is the perfect way to cut prepping time and make simple ingredients really sing. From overnight porridge to stews you can come home to, with a bit of organisation slow-cooker dishes can become an easy part of any midweek menu.
Brighten a dull winter’s day with a big bowl of colourful, crunchy veg and leaves. The best thing about hearty winter salads is that you can mix in roasted veg, leftover meat or handfuls of pulses – and the recipe becomes a dinner in itself.
February often gets a bad rap, but unfairly so, in my opinion. Yes, it’s still winter and yes, it can sometimes be dreary, but prolonged periods of cold are so rare these days that the season is seldom actually as bad as we expect.
After an indulgent and expensive festive season, there’s no better time to knock up a warming bowl of tasty, nutritious soup that’s easy on the pocket, too.
