What to cook in January: frosty mornings and chilly days call for the kind of meals that wrap you up in warmth like your favourite jumper.

This is the perfect time of the year to embrace hearty vegan comfort food made with seasonal stars like root vegetables, kale and winter squash. Earthy flavours and warming spices, recipes that not only warm your belly but make the most of January’s winter produce, turning cold days into deliciously comforting ones.

We have a combination of healthy and fresh alongside decadent and comforting.  We’ve got make ahead breakfasts and light, easy lunches.  There’s also hearty and warming soups, simple but delicious dinners and some of my favourite cosy and comforting spiced winter baking recipes!
