PrintCook the Book: Jamie at Home
Words by Michele Humes | If you're already a fan of Jamie Oliver's, you'll adore Jamie at Home, his most lavish book yet. If, however, his laddish, larger-than-life demeanor rubs you the wrong way, there's a chance you'll struggle to get through his latest offering. As delicious as Oliver's recipes sound (Indian carrot and crispy lamb salad, anyone?), they're all transcribed in his playful, relentlessly wordy voice--a voice that turns what might have been three lines' worth of basic instructions into a spoken word poem of two paragraphs.
If you can overlook a tone that borders on the twee, you'll find a really beautiful book, lushly illustrated and printed on weighty stock. The recipes are arranged by season and flanked with useful, inspiring guides to growing your own fruits and veggies. Even if you don't have your own little plot of land, the inventive, produce-driven dishes will send you scurrying to the nearest farmer's market.
Each chilly day this week, we'll be posting a hearty recipe from the "Winter" section of Jamie's seasonal recipe book, from Italian bread and cabbage soup and Welsh Rarebit "with attitude" to butternut squash muffins with frosty tops.

No question it's thick ribolita soup filled with white beans, pancetta, hearty greens and made with the secret weapon: parmesan rinds. I serve it ladled over toasted crusty bread with a little Parmigiano grated on top. Bliss.

Chili is hands down my favorite winter dish!!
216amyc at 9:52AM on 12/30/08
mmmm my favorite winter dish is the stamppot, a winter farm meal from holland. It is potatoes mashed with a bitter green such as kale or curly endive, and often served with a sausage or meat w. gravy. Very fortifying in the winter months, and easy to eat on the cheap!
lekkercraft at 9:56AM on 12/30/08
my favorite winter dish is potato soup -- i use pepper bacon in it, and we always sprinkle cheese on top. it's definitely our winter comfort food!

Buttenut Squash soup -- an old Gourmet recipe. It is simple and delicious-- butternut squash, onions, garlic and ginger in a chicken broth base. Topped with a squeeze of fresh lime when served. it is soooo good.

Gnocchi with brown butter and sage sauce, and some roasted butternut squash on the side.
Souvenir though also has a great dish, and is probably the easiest dish I make consistently. Just cream, gorgonzola, and toasted walnuts over pasta with a veggie side. This would come in number two (one on some days)

I also did a duck l'orange this Christmas, it ended up with a trip to the emergency room. Adding a piece of my finger to the meal unintentionally, which in fact is the number reason people are chauffeured to the ER on Christmas day. Cant say i didn't feel ridiculous though. Either way I was back in time to continue cooking the duck meal with an amazing array of veggies and oven roasted potatoes. Not a recipe that came from the top of my head, thanks Anthony Bourdain and Les Halles.

My favourite winter dish would be hutspot. It's Dutch :) You start with potatoes, carrots and onions in a large pan. Boil it until it's soft and then mash it up. You can serve it with piccalilly, fried or smoked bacon and ofcourse with some smoked sausage called 'rookworst'. Everytime I visit my parents, I'm hoping for a big pan on the stove, filled with hutspot because it just makes me feel at home.
