Thai-Scented Chicken Soup
This is chicken soup, but with all the fresh and vibrant flavours of a Thai green curry. If you’re a little under the weather, this is exactly what you want to be eating. The soup must be served absolutely piping hot, like a just-made cup of tea or a punishingly hot bath. Otherwise it misses…

Red Cabbage, Two Ways
I have a long-held love for all forms of cabbage, but this time of year red cabbage feels particularly essential. And although it belongs to the wider cabbage family, it’s very much its own vegetable – it doesn’t lend itself to being substituted in place of other seasonal greens. It needs to be treated differently…
Lighter Christmas Pudding with Spiced Crème Anglaise
This is the Christmas pudding I make every year, and the only one I can remember my mother making. It’s lighter than the traditional variety, but the flavours are still rich and complex. It will convert a Christmas pudding-hater, and win over even the most ardent traditionalist. I couldn’t imagine Christmas without it. This slightly…
Caroline Feeds Returns
The more faithful readers among you may have noticed an approximately 12-month hiatus in new recipes here on Caroline Feeds. I hadn’t lost my enthusiasm for cooking (or my appetite) – but rather had gained something else: a baby! (And a good few extra pounds, but that’s clearly a matter for the New Year.) I…
Standby Tomato Soup
With the help of some cheap, standby staples you can whip up this soup at a moment’s notice. A cosy, nutritious soup for only slightly more effort than opening a can. Freeze your parmesan rinds after you’ve eaten the cheese – they add a ton of free flavour to soups, stews and ragu-type sauces. Simply…
What to Cook Between Christmas and New Year
This is a special time of year when we all slow down, take stock, and look forward to a New Year. At this stage in the festivities, I want lots of comforting dishes that feel celebratory enough to feed friends and family without requiring a lot from me in return. If you’re in need of…
A Very British Christmas Conundrum: When to Eat the Christmas Feast?
I have always maintained that, despite the heavy influences of tradition, Christmas dinner is very personal. I may be Canadian, but my dinner is very much of the British variety: turkey with all the trimmings. Even so, there is one element of the British Christmas feast I’ve never quite got on with, and that’s the…
Spiced Falafel Burgers with Red Cabbage
A healthy, vegetarian and speedy dinner to feed four. Great if you need some real food, fast, or if you’re looking for a brief break from heavier winter fare. The red cabbage, gentle spice and sweetness from the carrot and apple give it a wintery vibe, but of course these are great any time of…
Merry Meatballs in a Bread Bowl
Meatballs get a festive twist with redcurrant, rosemary, brandy and cream. Perfect as picky finger food for a party served in one large, hollowed-out loaf of sourdough with toothpicks for spearing, or as a main course in individual crusty rolls, next to some form of vegetable. The meatball portion of the recipe will make enough…
