When it's cold outside, nothing is as satisfying as comfort food. It's the simple, hearty, and familiar flavors that make bubbling casseroles and simmering soups so nourishing. Homemade bolognese sauce is the foundation of my family's favorite cozy dinner. It's a slow-cooked sauce that has layers of savory flavor and a rich, meaty texture. It takes patience to make but the reward is so much more delicious than any sauce you can pour from a jar.

A bright and beautiful bowl of homemade tomato soup delivers comfort in every spoonful. There are plenty of ways to make a basic recipe your own, whether it's by adding ingredients to boost the protein or fiber content or a clever choice of toppings to provide some extra crunch, creaminess, or flavor. Of course, there are also plenty of mistakes everyone makes with tomato soup that can seriously disrupt the smooth mouthfeel with an unwelcome chunky consistency.

Kleftiko, a Greek classic, is traditionally made with lamb shoulder suited to slow cooking, offering an exceptional tenderness and rich flavour.
