Winter food therapy
Winter food therapy
Winter calls for warming foods, meals that have been cooked at low temperatures for a longer time. Adding heating spices such as cloves, peppercorns, ginger, cinnamon to a dish will increase the thermal nature of a meal . The meals most beneficial for winter are warm hearty soups, stocks, broths, whole grains and roasted nuts or seeds such as walnuts or sesame. Dried foods, small dark beans, seaweeds and steamed winter greens are also a great addition. As always it is best to eat within the seasons and consume food that is grown locally in your region.
Winter meal ideas
Dishes that contain bones such as lamb shanks and Osso bucco are warm in nature. So too are meals containing chicken, lamb, trout and salmon.
