Winter, the cookbook, is a stunning collection of innovative cold-weather recipes perfect for this time of year.

From simple and warming comfort food like soups, slow braises and classic roasts, to elegant seafood dishes, impressive crowd-pleasers and a host of decadent winter desserts - think rich chocolatey steamed puddings, warming crumbles and baked fruits - Winter has a recipe for every occasion. And with 140 recipes designed for simplicity, taste and comfort, Winter is a comprehensive volume on cold-weather cooking - a book guaranteed to warm you up!
