Winter Warmer Tips

Winter Warmer Tips

After months of searing temperatures, there’s nothing better than nestling on the couch with your feet tucked up under a warm blanket, cradling a steaming and aromatic cup of tea or coffee during the chilly winter months. Being foodies, we always find winter exciting at Gourmet Meals, as it beckons in a new season of fragrant, hearty and nutritious dishes for all the family to enjoy. In our brand new Winter Menu we’ve introduced a range of delicious winter warmers, including a wholesome and comforting Beef Goulash, a decadent and creamy Salmon in Chive Sauce and an exotically fragrant Tandoori Chicken dish. We’ve also added a new dessert to our menu, which is a melt in the mouth Raspberry Panna Cotta, along with an old favourite, our popular Rhubarb and Apple Crumble.

While Gourmet Meals offer a wide selection of nutritious and delicious soups and hearty meal options to keep you content through the winter months, here are some great cooking tips for you to try when you find time to whip up something new in the kitchen.

Slow Cooker Recipes    

Slow cooker recipes are ideal for winter, as you can prepare these quickly and easily, then relax and watch a movie or read a good book while the flavours slowly develop, filling your home with a rich, mouthwatering scent. We recommend slow cooked roasts, pulled pork or beef, combined with fresh herbs, spices and root vegetables. A major benefit of slow cooker recipes is these can be easily adapted to be gluten-free, for those with food allergies or intolerances. Here are the top 50 slow cooker recipes from Taste.com.au for you to try at:

Hearty Soups

Hearty soups are ideal for dinners and lunches over winter and can be made in bulk and frozen if necessary. Add gluten-free pasta, lentils, brown rice, quinoa and buckwheat for a nutritious twist if you’re intolerant to gluten. Try some of these healthy soup recipes we’ve found on BBC’s Good Food site at:
