When it starts to look like this through the window.

And the temperature hits a top of this for the day…

There’s only one thing for it. Good, hearty winter food. Comfort food. Food that warms up your insides as well as your cheeks. Food that’s like a big warm cuddle from your Mum. Food that simmers away for hours and fills the house with delicious smells that make a house feel like a home.

Origin have created a collection of 12 (one for each week of winter) recipes that are simple and can be created just on your stove top this winter. I’ve tried out one for you – a perfect one pot wonder!
