A Recipe for our Northern Hemisphere Friends

A RECIPE FOR OUR NORTHERN HEMISPHERE FRIENDS AT KID & COE

As the weather gets cooler on the other side of the world, our friends at Kid & Coe asked us for a recipe to warm their bellies.

The seasons have finally started to turn (where we live it can take a while, it snowed one Christmas), the freezing cold winter has finally left us and summery days are making more than an occasional appearance. But, for our friends on the other side of the world, they’re now heading into those snuggly cooler days and soon will start to fill our instagram feeds with snow, fires, gumboots and plenty of baked goodies.

This is one of my ALL TIME favourite wintery recipes, it fills the house the best smells and nothing beats a sweet warm pudding on a freezing cold day.
