Sophie Kooks Month by Month: January

Book excerpt: 'Christmas has passed, we've had a great time over-indulging and there's probably half a turkey still left in the fridge! January isn't seen as the most fun month – we tend to try and just get through it – but it can be a chance to catch your breath after the craziness of Christmas, curl up in front of the fire and enjoy the simple pleasures of comforting wholesome and delicious food.' – Sophie Enjoy gorgeous January recipes, including: - Spiced Parsnip and Carrot Soup - Turkey and Smoky Bacon Salad - Chicken with Parma Ham, Mozzarella and Roast Leeks - Apple and Pecan Crumble Pie - Roasted Red Pepper, Carrot and Feta Dip - Pork Chops with Apples and Mustard Mash - Flapjacks - Sirloin Steak with Chilli Butter and Roast Baby Potatoes.
