Comfort food never looked and tasted so good (it’s the hit of salty bacon that does it!).

This is a magnificent dish to serve to a hungry crowd – it’s effortless to prepare, uses a cheaper cut of meat and is simply delicious to eat.

WARNING – this is rich, but soooo delicious.

This is scrumptious and can turn non-Brussels sprout eaters into fans: Buttery pine nuts, crispy sage leaves and bacon give the dish loads of savoury flavour.

This salad has a lot of personality! Place a bowl of it on the table, and it is hard to take your eyes off it because the colour is striking.

This dish is a quick, pared-back version of the classic winter staple, slow-cooked red cabbage with onion, apple, bacon, vinegar and brown sugar. I love it midweek with mash and sausages.

This hearty version of Borscht, almost thick enough to be a stew, is meaty, smoky, and savoury, with fresh notes of apple and lemon to give it a traditional sweet and sour edge.

Ilaria reckons this will warm you down to your toes.

Chicken topped with cute little cobbles of scone dough is hard to resist, especially in winter!

A sweet and sour jus gives these pork filets a kick.

A picture tells a thousand stories, or just one in this case: eat me.

Get your chops around this – colourful, crunchy, bursting with flavour, and good for you!

This dish will fill your kitchen with glorious aromas as it slowly cooks to tenderness.

Green pea soup is often a dull green colour, but this one is given a pretty green hue by blending parsley and mint in a food processor.

Tangy, sweet and spicy like Christmas cake. Perfect with roast pork or duck.

I’ve used Inca Gold potatoes for this dish, a yellow-fleshed variety suitable for roasting and baking.


I like this dish best when the cabbage is tender, not too crunchy. It goes with rich dishes such as roast pork, or with sausages and mash.

In this dish, forget sprightly green florets of broccoli and instead turn up the heat and roast the bejesus out of it.

Burnt butter and lemon. Lime green pointy-tipped cauli!

A prepare-ahead soup. Re Boll Ita. Get it? Re-boil!

Cabbage with the X-Factor.

Rich, laden with umami flavours …winter’s reward.

Dig the tang! Make the most of free grapefuit falling off your neighbour’s tree.
