The last meal I had out in London was at The Gate, an all vegetarian restaurant that has been around since 1989 with two restaurants – one in Hammersmith and the one we went to, in Islington. They describe their food as Indo-Iraqi Jewish – a blend of Indian and Arabic cuisines with traditional Jewish food.
This mushroom marinara makes the perfect winter warming dinner meal – it’s so rich, hearty and filling that even meat-eaters will be satisfied! I love whipping up a batch on a Sunday afternoon and leaving the leftovers to warm me up on Monday night. Perfect!
Whilst hearty meals are my normal go-to in the colder months, sometimes I crave something that is still warming but just that little bit lighter and that’s where this coconut lime noodle soup comes to play! The best part is it’s ready in next to no time, making it perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
Since arriving back from (mostly) sunny Europe to freezing cold Melbourne I’ve been all about the hearty, warming winter meals. This tofu tikka masala really hit the spot and helped me feel a little less sad about my holidays being well and truly over!
I do love risotto as a winter warming meal and this sweet potato spinach risotto is an absolute winner. Creamy, full of flavour and not at all difficult to whip up, it’s become a fast fixture on my weeknight repertoire!
