The crisp cold and frosty season is well and truly upon us. The air is cold and the sky is blue, which can provide light relief from the January blues… The stillness of winter reminds us how important rest is though. Pacing ourselves, and taking time to be still, whether that’s sitting with a warmContinue reading “Mushroom, Lentil & Red Wine ‘Shepherd’s’ Pie… (He’s a veg shepherd. Obvs.)”

Mighty Minestrone & Other Winter Warmers
In the thick of this cold snap, bundled up in chunky knitwear and just as I was gloating that I haven’t been ill since I can’t remember, it hit me. The worst cold virus I’ve had since I can’t remember… hot & cold, aching all over, 3 days on the sofa and counting and mostContinue reading “Mighty Minestrone & Other Winter Warmers”
Raw Winter Slaw
This is a lovely accompaniment to a hot buttery jacket potato. Is there ever a time when a jacket potato isn’t a good meal option?

Tomato & Basil Risotto meets Harissa Chicken Bone Broth…
The bone broth from the Harissa Roast Chicken is beautifully warming, without being hot! It was sitting in my fridge in all its jellified wibbly wobbly gloriousness with a lovely warm red colour… I definitely prefer using broth for risotto than soup, although I’m sure this would have made a lovely tomato based soup… But,Continue reading “Tomato & Basil Risotto meets Harissa Chicken Bone Broth…”
Harissa Roast Chicken & Warming Winter Bone Broth
Sundays throughout Autumn and Winter are for roast dinners in our house… It’s a really great time to come together as a family and the kids love the array of food on offer. It means they eat well because they have control over their portions and food choices, albeit vegetables are compulsory! But then asideContinue reading “Harissa Roast Chicken & Warming Winter Bone Broth”
