The inspiration for this dish came from a family tradition we have of making wassail, a traditional warm spiced cider punch from England. While hot chocolate is probably the most common winter drink, this cider is a whole new kind of cozy. It’s made with apple cider, three other fruit juices, and lots of cinnamon sticks.

My classic braised short ribs recipe that’s just as cozy and comforting as any dish you could dream of. Short ribs slowly braised in a rich braising liquid of tomato paste, red wine, balsamic vinegar, beef stock, and hearty herbs. Finished with a little lemon zest and served over whipped potatoes, with simple roasted root vegetables alongside. It’s my go-to recipe whenever I make braised short ribs…which is very, very often in the wintertime.
