Beef peposo is a red wine and black pepper braised beef dish from Tuscany.

Danielle Alvarez's beef peposo

Some recipes take time or effort or both. This one – a Tuscan dish that involves cooking chunks of beef slowly in red wine, garlic and lots of black pepper – takes a little bit of time (in the form of an overnight marinade), but minimal effort. Plan for it and big flavours will be your ample reward the next day. It’s only made better by serving it atop soft, buttery polenta.

Roasted celeriac, parsnip and fennel with cream, parmesan and anise. — EASY

Karen Martini's roasted celeriac, parsnips and fennel

This is a supremely luxurious take on wintery roast vegetables, with the cream and parmesan making a bubbling, caramelised sauce for the aromatic, anise-scented selection. I particularly like the way a combination of anise and fennel complements the distinctively earthy-creamy parsnip and earthy-herbal celeriac. Serve as you would any roasted vegetables: roast pork or chicken are especially good with this and just need a simply dressed salad of bitter leaves.
