9 winter recipes that’ll keep you warm
These recipes prove that comfort food doesn't have to be bad for you.
Do you find that around late July your winter go-to meals are getting a little repetitive?
No matter what part of winter we’re in, we still yearn for something delicious and hearty that will warm us up. Oftentimes, that means fatty, creamy and rich dishes that might taste good, but are not good for you.
So here are nine winter dishes that will warm the cockles of your heart without clogging your arteries.

Here’s a dish that you can eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. That combination of tomatoes, kidney beans, capsicum, coriander and cumin is enough to start you salivating. Start reading and start cooking.
