While many of us dread the slow approach of the cold winter months, we have decided to embrace the chilly weather by changing our mindset in gearing up for the gorgeous cooking that comes along with it. Winter brings with it the glorious opportunity to change up your menu and get stuck into cooking and serving hearty meals that take the bite out of the cold. Our list of Winter Cooking essentials will have you happy and warm, making magic!
Winter Cooking Essentials: #1 Cast Iron Cookware
Winter and Cast iron cookware go together like hot soup and crispy croutons! This one item tops our list of Winter cooking essentials!

Our Cast Iron Cookware range is available in various sizes, shapes and colours, and can be taken straight from the oven to the table. Available at Yuppiechef and Binuns.
Winter Cooking Essentials: #2 Homemade Pasta
For the perfect comfort food amidst frigid temperatures, nothing beats the fresh al dente bite of homemade pasta! Impress family and guests by making their favourite Italian dishes from scratch – or get them involved in the process for a bit of fun in the kitchen. Eetrite pasta machines have adjustable rollers with multiple thickness settings and a clamp to secure to your kitchen countertop, making this one of the most convenient of your Winter cooking essentials. They are available at Banks Kitchen Boutique -who will deliver it to straight your door 🙂
Winter Cooking Essentials: #3 Velvety Red Wines
Presenting the ideal time to switch from crisp cool whites, winter will have you raising your glass with warm and wondrous reds. Offering up heartfelt health benefits, Spanish researchers have also found red wine being responsible for fending off the common cold most prevalent in winter- who are we to argue? Open up your favourite red flavours for a smooth and more velvety taste with Eetrite’s wine aerator designed to infuse the perfect amount of oxygen as quickly as it takes to pour a glass.
Accompanying your favourite Merlot, Malbec, or Pinot Noir, pair your ideal red with beautiful, classic glasses. Where the bowl of the glass is fuller and rounder to allow greater contact with air and a narrower opening o concentrate the aroma, Eetrite red wine glasses offer the perfect companion for your favourite winter wine.
Both the wine aerator and the wine glasses are available at Yuppiechef
Winter may be icy and cold outside, but that’s no reason for you not to feel warm and cosy inside your kitchen, making and creating with your Winter cooking essentials! Whatever the weather, welcome winter with arms wide open- and the oven up to temperature!
