Description

This guide is full of cosy comforts — the kind of recipes that fill your belly and warm your heart. Think slow-cooked beef stews, hearty soups, and home bakes that make the whole house smell delicious.  You’ll find a few of my favourite Winter bakes that can be used as foodie gift ideas too — Scottish Shortbread, Cherry & Walnut Cookies and other sweet treats perfect for wrapping up and sharing with loved ones.  And for the bairns, I’ve included my Wee Cook Recipe for Mars Bar Fingers — a proper nostalgic treat that’s easy and fun to whip up together on a cold dark afternoon.  So light a candle, pull on your comfiest jumper, and let’s embrace the beautiful season that is Winter.
