What's Your Favorite Winter Comfort Food?

It's that time of year again when I start dreaming of winter vegetables, soups, stews and braises. There's just something about the cold weather that screams comfort food. I look forward to lazy Sundays with braised lamb shanks slowly cooking in the oven, or a pot of beef bourguignon slowly simmering away on the stove top. Butternut squash soup with Calvados, hearty vegetable soup with turnips... I can't wait for the aromas to fill my house!

I think it's time for a dinner party or two.

Moody75's Gravatar Are you trying to confuse us with a new blog post?

Rob Brooks-Bilson's Gravatar I had to do something about the "No new entries" message from not having posted in 6 weeks!

Prissy's Gravatar Aztec (Mexican) Hot Chocolate- for a dinner party I'd make it loaded with Kahlua.

Angela's Gravatar Beef stifado with some lovely creamy mashed potatoes is always a winner in our household at this time of the year. And for pud... you can't beat a sticky toffee pudding!

Rob Brooks-Bilson's Gravatar @Prissy - Mmmm, Aztec hot chocolate. It's been a while since I've had that. Looking at your website, it seems it might be time to make some!

@Angela, I've never had stifado, even though Pere is Greek. It's time to ask if she has a family recipe we can try out.

In the last couple of days, we've made braised lamb shanks, beef bourguignon, and curried lamb meatloaf. I have a few pounds of oxtails sitting in the fridge that I'm planning to cook up this week. I can't wait!

Rob Brooks-Bilson's Gravatar Jim and Steve, you guys should team up and you would have the perfect meal, me thinks.

Seriously, though, there are some great winter brews out this year.

Cheers!
