What to Cook in December

What to cook in December: With winter officially on our doorstep it’s time to embrace not just festive food but hearty dishes that warm our bones.

As we’re busying away preparing for Christmas and all it entails at home and at work, food needs to be simple but nourishing. Sweet treats with hints of citrus and seasonal spices. Whether you’re roasting, slow-cooking, simmering or baking, what to cook in December is all about nourishment and warmth.

Hello there!  I’m Sam, former Michelin star pastry chef and now your go-to vegan foodie on a mission to make plant-based eating a deliciously easy adventure!  From cozy comfort foods to vibrant salads and decadent desserts, there’s something for everyone in my kitchen.

Whether you’re cooking for one or for a houseful I believe food doesn’t have to be complicated to be full of FLAVOUR and I want to show you how.  I’ve been a rigorous meal planner for over a decade whilst embracing seasonal ingredients (because that’s where the real flavour is!)

I’m also a dedicated dog mum to Nooch and Baxter and enjoy cooking them homemade treats (many of which are posted here) when I’m not screaming at the tennis or devouring fantasy fiction.

All things autumn - warming soups, savoury bakes and delicious sweet treats!
