The cooler months are the perfect time to indulge in your favourite comfort food. And whether your preference is sweet or savoury our recipes will keep you warm and satisfied.
Try the nourishing chicken noodle soup or for something heartier the slow cooked lamb shanks. And you can’t mention comfort food without a potato bake, macaroni and cheese or cauliflower and broccoli gratin.
The sweet tooths won’t be disappointed either. We’ve got a crumble, apple pie and chocolate pudding too.
