As the seasons turn, so does our list of favourite things to eat. Kirsten Jenkins’ generous new dishes and drinks have cosy written all over them. Slow-cooked brisket, creamy mash and a warming caramel-and-apple hot toddy are just some destined for a best-of collection, and we’re taking note.
"The slow-cooked caramelised zucchini is perfect with the sweet-and-salty clams. Don't be tempted to speed up the zucchini cooking time. Slow and steady will be rewarded in the end," says Kirsten Jenkins.
Winter entertaining has never been tastier, with this pimped up garlic bread and homemade dip.
There's no better way to cut through winter chills, than with this lovable liqueur.
Although this parsnip and potato mash is the perfect side dish to any main attraction, you might find yourself and your guests solely focusing on this winter warmer.
The time that goes into this legendary brisket recipe does not go unnoticed, resulting in the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly-seasoned meat and sauce. Begin this recipe 1 day ahead.
Crispy, buttery, a touch of sweetness and just enough acidity. This broccolini side couldn't get better, and the kids might even surprise you by asking for more.
"This cake is an interpretation of the classic sweet pumpkin pie. A subtly sweet spiced cake is layered with a whipped ricotta cream and a drizzle or Marsala," says Kirsten Jenkins.
There is no better way to warm up than with a hot toddy. Fireplace optional, but highly recommended.
