Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Tartiflette

    • lkgrover on February 20, 2024

      Excellent potato casserole; good "comfort food" for a cold winter day. I substituted a mix of Gruyere & Emmental cheese, because Reblochon is not available here. Also reduced the cream by 50%.

  • Tiroler gröstl

    • lkgrover on January 01, 2026

      Delicious egg, bacon, and potatoes -- good for either breakfast or dinner. I cooked the onions & potatoes in the bacon fat, so did not use oil. (This also simplified clean-up.)

  • Poached salmon with green mayonnaise

    • lkgrover on January 24, 2024

      Good salmon, poaching it in a vegetable-herb broth gives a light flavor. I used prepared mayonnaise, to which I added fresh parsley & tarragon.

    I love the atmosphere in this book which is beautifully styled and photographed. I think winter is the best season for cooking, after all it's when you are at your hungriest...

Publishers Text

Winter is the perfect time to take a break from the pace of modern life, slow down and savour a nourishing home-cooked meal. It doesn't have to take hours - many recipes take a little preparation and can then be left to simmer, bake or roast to perfection. For this book, Lizzie Kamenetzky has taken inspiration from snow-covered mountains and Alpine chalets, with all her favourite food from ski towns and winter holidays. Start the day with a sustaining breakfast such as homemade Brioche or Pain aux Raisins before heading out into the cold. For lunch, only a hearty soup or stew will do - try French Onion Soup or Rocky Mountain Stew. Mid-afternoon, when fingers are numb, retreat to the warmth of indoors and enjoy a tea-time treat such as Madeleines or Banana Cake with a steaming cup of coffee. For evening entertaining, there are lots of comforting meaty recipes to try, such as Cassoulet, Confit Duck or Spaghetti Bolognese, as well as some lighter options, such as Chicken Liver Parfait or Parmesan Cheesecake. There is also a whole chapter devoted to those delightful cheese dishes that are so perfect in winter, from Fondue to Swiss Chard Gratin.For those with a sweet tooth, finish the meal with a Creme Brulee or Tarte Tatin. This is food for warming the soul, for snuggling up against the cold, for firesides and crackling logs, and for blankets in cosy winter cabins.
