For these recipes I’ve looked into the store cupboard and fridge at home for meals that suit my mood when I require comfort with extra zing. Something to wake me from hibernation, despite using the same ingredients I’ve been eating for months.
A trip to a farm in Scotland inspired a broth of sorts, while a sauce made from chillies started with a batch snuck into our fridge by a friend from Rome as a dinner party gift. I discovered it some days later and have had a version on the go ever since. I have eventually settled on this one with a whole piece of lemon as a favourite. Use it to liven up everything.
