They knew how to winter back in the good old days and our online manager, Roxy, developed this medieval mulled wine and it has been enjoyed on many a wintry weekend evening in her home. So grab your favourite bottle of red, some vitamin C-packed citrus and your spices, and you’re good to go.
We are so lucky here in South Africa to have such a rich abundance of fresh shellfish available to us. And this pasta nero, packed with Mediterranean flavours, is a great way to enjoy it during the winter months when we are missing those scrumptious seafood braais.
We love making these whenever we have leftover stir-fry. Our crispy Asian dumplings are a bite-sized taste surprise that you will go back for again and again.
Do we need to say anymore? There is no need to feel daunted when facing a nougat recipe. It is incredibly easy to make; our almond and apricot nougat comes together in a mere 6 steps. You will need some liquid glucose and a sugar thermometer, both of which can be purchased from a wide range of supermarkets.
This is the perfect dish to serve up if you are expecting people over this weekend. A comforting chicken pie gets an impressive, yet easy and fancy makeover. This creamy, luxurious pie will definitely be one to take centre stage at your next gathering.
Warm winter salads are something we are so grateful for. They allow us to inject a fresh and nutrient-dense meal in between carb-heavy, meaty options that are typical at this time of year. And since this is one of our favourite vegetarian dishes, why not transform it into a lovely deconstructed ratatouille salad.
Sunday lunch or dinner doesn’t get better than this. This beef bourguignon pot pie is intensely flavourful and fragrant with plenty of veggies, beef, bacon and, of course, red wine. So roll up those sleeves and get busy in the kitchen. And that apple mash… There are no words.
Just keep stacking! Our crumpet stack stuffed full of dill, mascarpone and smoked salmon are what weekend brunch dreams are made of.
