Sweet temptation with Dish

With colder weather upon us it’s time to hunker down and look to heartier food for sustenance – both for the body and the mind. You’ll find plenty of mouthwatering and heart-warming inspiration in this issue. 

Food Editor Claire Aldous creates delicious winter salads with colourful seasonal vegetables. It’s also the season to make the most of those treasures of the field and forest – mushrooms. And if you’re in need of inspiration to feed a crowd look to our weekend menus – there’s something for any time of the day. Apples and pears are abundant at this time of year – the perfect star ingredients for indulgent sweet treats.
