warm up for winter

It’s winter comfort food time and the new issue of Dish is packed full of recipes to keep the chill at bay. Delicious stews with versatile toppings (you can mix and match or even use them as sides), nourishing soups, tasty ways with potatoes (who said baked potatoes had to be boring?), great mid-winter baking and simple solutions for weeknight meals.   There’s a handy guide to different potato varieties and how best to cook with them and you can try your hand at making bread at home – our straightforward step-by-step guide has two easy loaves – plus we meet the chef at the helm of dessert restaurant Milse, and our tasting panel has their picks of the country’s top syrahs. August-September 2013 issue on sale Monday July 22 (NZ) and mid August (AUS).
