Three-cheese lasagne
Nothing says winter like a good ol’ slice of lasagne, straight from the oven. And this one is no exception. With its sheets of pasta and layers of cheese and mushrooms, this three-cheese recipe is the perfect mid-week winter warmer. Whether you’re feeding the family or a room full of friends, it’s one that can be whipped up and served in just over an hour using your NEFF CircoTherm® oven function. How’s that for a winter fave?
Apple turnovers
Everyone loves a warming apple desert in the cooler months – and our apple turnovers are a certified winner. With a delicious apple, cinnamon and caramel filling, this dish is one you can serve up at your next dinner party or savour for yourself on a chilly weekend. Some desserts just never go out of fashion!
Sticky Asian eggplant
This one is for all our vegetarian (and non-vegetarian!) friends! If you’re looking for a winter side dish that’s a little different – this sticky Asian eggplant is a must. It’s super easy to make and with tastes of soy, garlic, chilli and sesame – your guests will feel like they’re at a top fusion restaurant. The best bit? It only takes 25 minutes to prep and cook. Delish!
Whole baked sweet potatoes
You’ll go crazy for this baked potato recipe. The humble sweet potato is a winter super-food that’s both satisfying and tasty. Packed with vitamins, manganese and fibre, whole-baked sweet potatoes provide a delicious and nutrient-rich alternative to the classic baked potato. Simply roast whole sweet potatoes on for an hour, slit them down the centre and douse with whatever toppings take you fancy. We’re partial to a Mexican flavour-fest of coriander, guacamole and chilli.
Individual beef and mushroom pies
Who doesn’t love a steaming pot pie on a chilly winter’s night? Our readers sure do. This recipe features tender pieces of beef hidden below a moreish potato crust, with smoked cheddar cheese and thyme adding extra deliciousness. Pro tip? By cooking the pies in individual Le Creuset casserole dishes, the end result won’t only taste great – it will also present beautifully. Take that, last-minute dinner party.
Pumpkin soup
A warming bowl of homemade pumpkin soup – what’s not to love? This thick, full-flavoured soup uses to cook the pumpkin, ensuring a scrumptious end result. A drizzle of verdant basil oil complements the sweet and nutty flavour of the pumpkin, and provides a final restaurant-quality flourish. We recommend making a double recipe and freezing half. Not enough? You can find more of our favourite soup recipes here!
Chocolate banana puffs
Looking for a winter dessert recipe that’s a guaranteed winner? Our customers can’t get enough of this dessert, and no wonder – it’s super-quick and absolutely delicious! Filled with just three ingredients – cream, melted dark chocolate and sliced banana – these moreish Chocolate and Banana Puffs are sweet little parcels of flavour. Serve with a drizzle of chocolate and a generous scoop of ice-cream for a special finale to a cold winter week. Check out more of our top dessert recipes here.
Chocolate self-saucing pudding
With a prep time of just ten minutes and a tantalisingly gooey end result, these traditional chocolate self-saucing puddings will become a firm family favourite. We recommend using a premium Dutch processed cocoa for this recipe to achieve a rich dark chocolate sauce, and serving with a generous dollop of double cream or vanilla ice-cream. Better yet? They’re incredibly cheap to make, with ingredients you’ll most likely already have in the fridge and pantry.
Layered vegetable pie
This hearty pie is one of our best winter recipes. A showstopping main meal worthy of a mid-winter feast, this layered pie is chock full of nutritious veggies including sweet potato, eggplant and zucchini, while the cheesy panko breadcrumb topping adds satisfying texture and crunch. Serve topped with a medley of heirloom tomatoes, basil and bocconcini for a tantalising finish. Your guests will be begging you for the recipe, promise.
