WINTER

a time for rest and rEPAIR.

Citrus, roots, spices, and greens strengthen immunity in the coolest of seasons.

The short, dark days invite us to slow down and seek warmth and comfort. It’s a season that encourages introspection and self-care, allowing us to recharge and prepare for the new beginnings that Spring will bring.

In the kitchen, Winter brings its own unique harvest. Resilient citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are at their best, offering a burst of sunshine and a dose of vitamin C to help ward off seasonal colds.

Root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, and turnips find their way into stews and casseroles, providing essential nourishment and warmth. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves add depth and comfort to our meals, while dark leafy greens bring a welcome splash of colour and nutrients to our plates.

This is the perfect season to enjoy a leisurely weekend of slow cooking, with the inviting aromas of soups and braises filling the home, whilst freshly baked sourdough bread and cookies offer a homely sense of warmth.

As we navigate the slower pace of the Winter months, it’s essential to listen to our bodies and give ourselves the rest we need. Whether it’s rugged up taking a relaxed walk outside in the crisp winter air, or retreating home to a warm bath and fluffy towels, let this season be one of rejuvenation and gratitude.
