This Roasted Fennel makes a great side dish because it’s incredibly easy to make, and so delicious. Raw fennel is sharp and tastes like aniseed, but it transforms when roasted, losing all of its anise flavour and crunchy texture to become buttery and caramelized.
Agrodolce is an Italian sweet and sour sauce with a sticky consistency. Its name is Italian for “sour” (agro) and “sweet” (dolce). A classic agrodolce recipe contains reduced honey (or sugar), vinegar, pine nuts, red onion/shallot and a mixture of dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries or dried apricots. The sauce is fantastic with Brussel's sprouts, cauliflowers or broccoli too.

The great thing about curry is the wide variety of flavours: this recipe with minced beef and garden peas goes well with a mild curry. Spicy, warming, nutritious and simply delicious--a must for cold days. Serve it with steamed rice, naan, noodles or potatoes. Besides garden peas, you can also use Brussel sprouts, spinach or winter squashes.

Colourful, flavourful and easy to make, these bacon roasted pumpkin wedges with spinach salad are great as an appetizer, side dish or even a light lunch. Anything wrapped with bacon is superfood if you ask me, and the spinach salad with dried apricot and toasted pine nuts is a star on its own too. This is one ultimate cold weather comfort food you’ll treat yourself to again and again. Use other types of winter squashes (acorn, kent or butternut are all great) if you can't find hokkaido.

Cooking and eating is a great way to get to know different food cultures and national cuisines. If you're looking for a new idea for a quick and easy meal, then this Chicken Satsivi, a Georgian culinary gem, is definitely something you must try.
Satsivi aka Chicken in Spiced Walnut Sauce is generally characterised by its delicious sauce, whose main ingredient is walnuts. Together with garlic and some spices, they create a wonderfully creamy and aromatic sauce, in which the chicken (breast or thigh) cooks until tedner to absorb the flavour of the sauce. It's a perfectly healthy comfort food that will make you warm and cozy on cold winter evenings. If you want to use a whole chicken, then it's better to precook and cut the chicken before infusing them with the sauce.

Sprinkle some chopped pistachios over for extra crunch.

Tuck into this glorious cut of braised beef ribs, resting atop a mountain of creamy pumpkin pureé and pangrattato. It's truly the ultimate comfort food for winter.
Pangrattato is an Italian condiment used to take your dishes to the next level! They are breadcrumbs which have been seasoned and toasted to bring some crunch and texture to dishes such as pastas, vegetables and other dishes. Traditionally, it's made using stale bread, garlic, herbs, and olive oil. I have used ground pork rind instead to make the recipe lowcarb-friendly.

I love chicken thighs and legs in case you haven't noticed it yet. Bone in, skin on thighs / legs are so much juicier and have more flavour, but it really all comes down to personal preference! If you want to use chicken breast, go for it. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. The sauce used two types of mustards: wholegrain and smooth. So do expect it's full of mustard flavour. I used Maille, but you can use any other quality brands.

When the weather turns and the thermometer dips, a hot bowl of soup is just delightful. Though so creamy and rich, this gluten free butternut squash soup contains no cream (except a few drops of coconut cream for the garnish). The secret lies in the add of tahini. Serve with a slice of homemade bread and top with a few crispy sage leaves, for a hearty bowl of creamy goodness. It’s one of the easiest meals to make with just a handful of ingredients, and it’s almost impossible to mess up.

Fresh, crispy and sweet snow peas are really ideal for a quick stirfry. You can also add protein (chicken, prawn, egg or tempeh) to this simple dish. It's easy to prepare and ready within 15 minutes. Just simply shred the trimmed snow peas and toss with chilli and ginger for maximum flavour and crunch.
Snow peas, aka Chinese pea pods, are young and flat with very small peas inside (different from rounded snap peas) and typically available all year-round, but the peak season is spring through early winter. As their name implies, snow peas can survive frost and snow.

Translating to rooster stewed in wine, coq au vin, a French classic was originally a peasant dish designed to make use of an old rooster that was too tough and sinewy to be simply roasted. It was a dish that was cooked low and slow. However, tough roosters have given way to tender roasting chicken in most recipes today. So it would be more accurate to call this Poulet au Vin. I wouldn't use chicken breast for this recipe as you can easily overcook them. So bone in thighs, drumsticks or whole legs are better to use for coq au vin.

It's easy, quick and delicious. The salad goes well with some homemade bread. If you like, use raisins or other dried fruit instead of dried cranberries. It makes a great easy lunch or side with any meat dishes.
