"At the risk of sounding like a British cliche, can we take a moment to discuss the change in the weather? This week's sudden drop in temperature has our house excited for potential snow (the children are giddy), with everything suddenly feeling a lot more wintry. New coats are on the hooks, thermals are being dug out and a casserole dish filled with some sort of soup, stew or stock seems to be permanently ticking away on the hob."
"Whatever the time of year, I always have speedy packets of wontons and gyozas in the freezer, and cook them depending on how I feel (fried and steamed versus boiled and soupy). At the moment, I am craving warmth and nourishment, and Meera Sodha's quickish vegan wonton soup hits all the right spots; an added bonus is that it is a soup my children can get on board with, too."
"If we have roasted a chicken on a Sunday, I always make stock with the bones that same evening, and Mandy Yin's recipe for chicken curry laksa is the perfect way of honouring that liquid gold. Her laksas are one of my favourite things to devour on a chilly day, so I'm thrilled that she has shared her secrets with us, and that I can now make and devour them from the comfort of my own home."
A sudden drop in temperature has shifted routines toward wintry comforts, with coats, thermals and slow-cooking coming into use. Quick, warming meals range from speedy weeknight soups to leisurely weekend stews. Frozen packets of wontons and gyozas provide flexible options, while a quick vegan wonton soup offers warmth and is child-friendly. Brothy braised chicory and beans and a spiced black bean and tomato soup serve as fast, nourishing lunches. Roasted chicken bones become stock for chicken curry laksa that honors homemade stock. Weekends invite heartier stews and light meal prep, including a chicken, chorizo, white bean and olive stew.
