Recipes for the Whole Year



The glitter and merriment of Christmas and New Year parties has just come to a close. The whirlwind of dinners and toasts has probably left revellers content but not quite so energetic. This is why in the quiet month of January it is very pleasant to get back to traditional cold-weather farmhouse cookery with its soups.
