Winter is officially here – although if you asked me it really arrived a couple of weeks ago.

As the days get shorter and the nights smell of wood smoke and damp leaves, summer seems light years away. But that’s ok because we’re having veal osso bucco for dinner tonight and that makes everything right with the world!
