Hearty and heart-warming, our beef and potato Massaman curry continues its reign as our top contender for winter. Of course, perennial favourites ham hock soup and our classic pea and ham soup are hot on its heels. And it’s clear that with the cooler weather, we’re craving carbs and anything warmed by the oven, be it stews, roasts, pies or puddings.
Winter means plenty of time hibernating indoors and, with it, time – luxurious time – to spend in the kitchen. That likely explains why our how-to guides on making Bourke Street Bakery’s famed meat pie from scratch and Dave Chang’s spicy, tangy kimchi also feature on our most popular winter recipes hitlist.
