The Winter Table: Fireside Feasts for Family and Friends

Is there anything better than coming home on a wintry evening to the welcoming aroma of a hearty stew or comforting soup? Here, Lisa Lemke, Scandinavian author of The Summer Table, brings her prodigious gifts to more than 75 recipes that make the most of wintertime ingredients: creamy root vegetable soups; rich beef and chicken stews fortified with red wine, olives, and herbs; mouth-watering roasts; risottos with roasted butternut squash or mushrooms, cream, and cognac; omelettes and soul-satisfying one-pot meals; and even good old mac 'n' cheese. Desserts celebrate homey delights and wintry spices - ginger, cinnamon, cardamom - along with toasted nuts and dark chocolate in trifles and pastry, puddings, pies, doughnuts and much more. The recipes in The Winter Table make entertaining and connecting with family and friends effortless, while making sure everyone is comfortable and cosy, happy and well fed.
