If ever there is an opportunity for food to really bring a smile to the faces of all your guests, it’s after a cold refreshing walk in a freezing forest or after a bit of exercise out in the minuses.
For the home cook, this can be seen as the best time of year to make the family feel loved through a plate or two of something delicious.
Whether it’s a one-pot casserole or a dish full of eastern spices, it’s fun to choose a menu that will warm up the coldest of guests and bring some joy to the dining table. Don’t be shy of meats with a bit more fat running through them, as this is exactly what the body craves at this time of year. Remember how satisfying a nice bit of crackling is with roast pork or how fabulous it is using the duck fat on those roast potatoes. Well, this is the perfect time!
