Winter

Winter dishes tend to be heartier, warmer and sometimes a bit slower to prepare. Hearty soups, sauces, roasted meats, casseroles and dishes that warm you from the inside. Recipes suit weekend cooking or days when you come home freezing and just want a warm meal. They often involve longer braising or roasting, but the result is worth it.

With spring onion: use spring onions instead of regular onion — the spread will be milder and fresher. With horseradish: add more horseradish and reduce the mustard — you’ll get a sharper “to go with beer” version. With pickles mixed in: finely chop 1–2 pickled cucumbers and fold into the spread. It’s fresher, but expect it to be slightly looser. “Fit” compromise: replace part of the spreadable butter with thick plain yogurt. It won’t be completely traditional, but the taste stays good and it’s lighter.
