Bannock is a crumbly flat bread similar to scones (or the American biscuits) typical of Scotland. Native Americans make a similar flat bread which is now also called bannock.

Three easy syrups for coffee and hot chocolate
These 3 recipes are just a starting point, there’s no limit to the amount of possibilities! Flavoured syrups make great gifts. And if you have some liquor fans around, you can mix them with spirits.
All the winter treats
Hanukkah, Yule, Christmas, New Year’s, the Lunar New Year, Valentine’s, and carnival/Mardi gras/Shrove Tuesday all fall between December and March (and probably a few more that I’m either forgetting or I haven’t even heard about). No matter where you’re from, what religion you are or what your cultural background is; there is a celebration (or a few) that you will take part in during the winter months. And they all involve food, because what better way is there to celebrate and spend special times with other than by sharing food?
Customisable coconut curry
Curries (or curry-like concoctions) are a great winter food. They are delicious, can be done in one pot, can be cooked in large batches and they are a fantastic way to use up all the loose ends that are going around in your fridge.
Pantry staples to keep around during the cold months
To make the most of what the farms bring into our kitchens during winter, there are a few ingredients that are handy to keep around.
Spicy cabbage soup
Cabbage, and cabbage soup in particular, have a unfounded bad reputation. Yeah, it can be a bit smelly when cooked. But covered properly it should’t be too much of an issue.
Other vegetables available in winter
There is life beyond root vegetables during winter! Mostly in the form of the brassica family, which brings us a variety of cabbages as well as cauliflowers and some broccoli too.
Perfectly roasted winter vegetables
One of my favourite things to do in winter is prepare a massive oven tray of vegetables, all with different flavours. They can be eaten straight our of the oven or chilled and kept in the fridge for a few days for easy meals throughout the week.
Winter root vegetables and tubers
Most of the vegetables available during the cold months are either root vegetables or tubers. Luckily the selection goes well beyond the traditional potatoes, carrots and onions.
Cranberry pie
Pies are not as popular in the UK as they are in other places, but they are one of my favourite bakes. This cranberry pie came to be as a happy accident.
