WinterThe heating's on, environmental guilt is long gone, and we return home rosy cheeked from the cold. The nights are dark, the mornings are dark, we wonder disbeleiveing "was it this bad last year?". Christmas and its winter traditions are a guiding star for the bleakest time, bringing good cheer by the cup full. The cold brings on a familiar appetite, with hearty food called for, with a hint of spice at times, making this the season for stews and casseroles, creamy mash, cheesed-laced bakes. |
December
Winter is almost here; we're on the slippery slope to Christmas and a festive feeling is in the air to help blow away the dreariness of dark nights and mornings. Festive food is most definitely on the menu and citrus fruits lend their seasonal scent to fruitbowls and salads; chestnuts have been around since october but really find their own here adding excitement to herby stuffings.
