Oh the weather outside is frightful… But what that does mean is that we get to cosy up in our blankets and slippers with loved ones, and connect with one another around a lovely warming home-cooked dish. What better way to warm up and nurture your digestion than with a good ol’ bowl of soup? Sounds romantic, even fairytale-like in the daily rush of life, but honestly nothing’s easier than a one-pot dish to feed a crowd. Say hello to the favourites that I rely on at this time of year — there’s certainly something for everyone!

Winter Sunset Soup With Ginger, Cumin and Rosemary This soup is amazing in the run-up to Christmas, and endlessly adaptable with all the bits you’ve got in the fridge. Super Supper Mung Dal Soup Mung ...

Bake bananas with other yummy ingredients, though, and suddenly they’re everybody’s favourite — weird, that If you often find yourself with a fruit bowl full of bananas ripening at the speed of light, where does your mind go? To that banana bread, of course. You can’t beat a classic… but if you’re anything like me you love having a go, getting creative with a sprinkling of spices and more wholesome ingredients.
