Our Top 10 Winter Warmers

Warming Braised Venison

Rich, warming and delicious, this generously-sized dish is great for entertaining.

Steak and Kidney Pie Recipe

There’s some controversy as to whether a ‘lidded’ pie actually counts as an Official Pie; we think it’s worth bending the rules a little for this simple but delicious recipe! Serves 4-6.

Beat-The-Blues Chicken Traybake Recipe

This time of year can seem a little bleak, especially when it seems like the sun hasn’t shone for days. Sadly we can’t control the weather, but we can offer this vibrant, tasty recipe - full of Mediterranean flavours, it’s a little bit of sunshine for your plate. Serves 4.

Curry-Spiced Fish Pie Recipe

Richly spiced mash, Greendale Fish Pie Mix and authentic curry flavours combine to create a fabulous ‘Frankenstein’ of a dish – it sounds wrong, but try it and you’ll see why we like it so much! Serves 4.

Monkfish & Asparagus Risotto

Take comfort food to a new level with this luxurious risotto. It’s a fairly simple recipe that makes the most of its wonderful ingredients – a fair bit of stirring is involved, but the end result is well worth it! Serves 2

Homity Pie Recipe

This open-topped vegetarian pie brings out the best in its simple but tasty ingredients. The recipe is thought to have been invented here in the West Country by ‘land girls’ during the Second World War, when rationing and food shortages inspired creative cooking with home-grown ingredients. Makes one large pie, to serve 4.

Greendale Scrumpy Lamb Stew Recipe

This hearty stew will keep out the cold, with a warming kick from our Proper Scrumpy Cider! We like it served with steamed greens and a big pile of fluffy mash, plus a dollop of our Easy Apple Sauce. Serves 4-6.

Make The Perfect Mashed Potato

Shepherd’s pie, fish pie, bangers & mash… there’s a reason why these dishes are so comforting; mashed potato! Simple, satisfying and tasty, it’s the star of so many of our favourite meals – follow our easy steps to help ensure magnificent mash, every time.

Easy Pork Stroganoff Recipe

Savoury and sustaining, this creamy pork dish is so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s a pretty quick recipe, too, making it ideal to keep up your sleeve for those days when time is tight but you don’t want to compromise on quality. Serves 2.

Comforting Apple Crumble Recipe

Crowd-pleasing fruit crumbles are hard to beat, especially when it’s cold outside. This recipe uses apples, but you can also use pears, rhubarb, plums, berries, peaches (or a mixture of whatever fruit you have to hand/need to use up). The crumble topping contains healthy oats and warming spices, and because the apples are eating apples, rather than cooking apples, there’s no need to add any extra sugar to them. Serves 4-6, depending how hungry you are!

We’d like to give a special mention to our selection of Soup Recipes – a winter staple, we couldn’t just pick one!
