Winter Warming Foods To Make with Wolf Gas Ranges

The chilly season is well and truly upon us, and that means gone are the days of lazy outdoor barbecues, picnics featuring cold meats and salads, and alfresco dining at your favorite café. With the temperatures outside plummeting, now's the time to stay indoors when you get home from work, and reconnect with your Wolf gas ranges. There are so many winter comfort foods to cook up that can positively warm the cockles of your heart: think macaroni and cheese, minestrone soup, or a good turkey casserole. Here are some of our favorite foods to cook with Wolf kitchen appliances:

1. Macaroni and cheese - It's an oldie but a goodie, as they say. When it comes to winter warming foods, nothing's easier and more satisfying to whip up than a hearty dish of macaroni and cheese on your Wolf gas ranges. Sure, pre-packaged mac and cheese tastes great, but homemade mac and cheese tastes even better. Just boil up some macaroni, make a simple white sauce from butter, flour and cheese, and mix it all together. Add some cheese on top, put it in the oven until nicely browned, and serve.

2. Mashed potato - Who doesn't love a good serving of mashed potato when it's cold out? To make a satisfyingly creamy mashed potato, the trick is to boil your potatoes super well, so they're soft and easy to mash without any nasty lumps remaining. Then, make your mashed potatoes extra tasty by adding a dash of milk or cream a dollop of butter, or even cream cheese, if you're really feeling indulgent. Season with plenty of black pepper and salt, and serve with a rich, thick gravy.

3. Chicken broth - Sometimes the simplest of soups are the best. And there's nothing like a good chicken broth to warm you up when it's cold out. To make a good broth, put a whole chicken into a pot of water, and add vegetables such as carrots, celery and ginger, and bring everything to a boil. Then, season the broth with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer on low heat for at least a couple of hours on your Wolf gas ranges. The longer you simmer your broth, the tastier it will be.

4. Apple pie - In the colder months, apples are at their freshest, crispest and tastiest. And they're also cheap. And that means there's no reason not to make a deliciously comforting hot apple pie, practically an American staple food, with your Wolf kitchen appliances. Flavor your apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg, and be sure to serve the pie with a good scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, or hot custard.

And there you have it. Cook any of these hearty foods with your Wolf gas ranges, and you'll be warm and toasty in no time. Now it's time to sit in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea.
