Each time it rains and the weather outside is bitterly cold, I take to baking to lift my spirits. And by baking, I don’t mean cakes and puddings, though these have been known to feature at times, too. In this instance, I’m talking about oven-baked savoury dishes. The type of comforting meal that can often be thrown into one pot or pan and left to bake away happily in the oven until all the flavours have melded together and the ingredients are blissfully tender. In our latest issue, I share some new recipes for succulent savoury bakes that make perfect winter fare. These recipes tick all the boxes – they are easy to put together, delicious, nourishing and guaranteed to warm body and soul on a cold winter’s night.
