An edible hug: Ricotta gnocchi with creamy tomato sauce.

Ricotta gnocchi with creamy tomato sugo

This dish is like a warm hug. Ricotta gnocchi, similar to gnudi except for their shape, are the far easier cousin of potato gnocchi. There's no agonising about which potato works best and no dense, tough dough, just delicate, cheesy little pillows. This is one of my most beloved recipes – and one I bring out time and time again during the cold winter months.

Karen Martini's vegan-friendly winter salad. — EASY

Winter vegan salad

I find winter just as appropriate a time for salads as summer, especially given that fennel – an all-time favourite of mine – is at its peak in the cooler months. I've dialled up the warm flavours here, with a spiced dressing filled with cashews and sunflower seeds. The dish is a delight on its own, of course, but can also be served as part of a feast. While the asafoetida in the dressing is optional, it's well worth seeking out; it really does make this winter beauty sing.
