If summers are all salads and lighter fare, then the colder months simply demand that we slip into something more comfortable—vegetable-hearty soups, stews and hybrid comfort foods that exude warmth. From a favourite cocktail-inspired update to a classic soup to a soul-awakening, zingy mustard fish curry, these dishes are set to warm you from the inside out, kind of like your favourite sweater.

2. Green Ricotta Gnudi al Forno

3. Mustard Fish Curry

4. Bloody Mary Minestrone

A hearty twist on minestrone with vodka, horseradish and plenty of comfort in every spoonful.
