Some of us have a love-hate relationship with winter. Stepping foot out into the cold, especially for early morning work commutes, isn’t the most enjoyable experience. But on the flip side, there’s nothing better than the warm embrace of your cosy home on a cold winter’s day.
And what better way to fully embrace the winter season than by cooking up a hearty home-cooked meal? Whether it’s a meal for one or you’ve got numerous hungry mouths to feed, these recipes are sure to warm your body and soul, leaving you feeling nourished and comforted beyond belief.
It would be a crime not to mention this timeless classic. If you’re feeling under the weather or have come down with something, what’s the go-to remedy that’s pretty much universal? That’s right, chicken soup. That’s why it’s perfect for the winter. Not only does this magical elixir boost immune health, but it also promotes the growth of healthy hair, skin and nails! The possibilities are endless when it comes to chicken soup – add some red chillies, ginger and bok choy for an Asian style chicken soup or keep it Western with a base of onions, carrots and celery.

Once you whip up this warming and comforting dish for the first time, there’s no doubt it’ll make a weekly appearance on the dining table.

This Northern African casserole dish is rich in history but even richer in flavour, packing a punch thanks to the garlic, red onions, cumin and curry powder.

We love a good Chicken Korma or Rogan Josh, but we simply cannot ignore the texture, colour and taste of Thai curries.

The Spruce Eats has put together a Thai Green Curry that only takes 20 minutes to cook.

Since its creation, the origin of Chili Con Carne has been up in the air. Some say that its roots are in Mexico, while others debate that the dish originated in Texas. But something that isn’t up for debate is the hit of flavour you get with every mouthful of this bean, beef and spice combination. The literal translation of Chili Con Carne is “chilli with meat”. Despite its simple meaning, the flavours are so complex, making this such an enjoyable dish to tuck into on a chilly day (pun intended). We love a bit of a kick but go easy on the cayenne if you’re not a huge fan of spice. For a classic Chili Con Carne recipe, this recipe by Erren’s Kitchen is our go-to.

We doubt that you will, but any leftovers you have can be popped in the fridge or freezer to devour another day. Serve Osso Bucco with mashed potatoes (like Julie Goodwin does in this recipe), saffron risotto or soft polenta. If you’re keeping it low-carb or keto, try out some mashed cauliflower or cauliflower “rice”!
