Cornish Food in Winter
Winter warming food is important in any culture, but when you live by
the sea, live off the land and have to deal with ferocious storms and weather
patterns in winter - the idea of well cooked, hearty fresh food is even more
important. High in calories and protein, a lot of stews, casseroles and other
Cornish stew based foods are rich and made for hard working and hard working
local families.

- Swede
- Onion
- Potatoes
- Carrots
- White Pepper
Chuck it all in together - a bit of stock - and away you go. Check it
after 40 minutes or so, but consider leaving it at least a couple of hours to
really make a difference with the flavour.
As has been well broadcast, Cornwall is enjoying a bit of a culinary and
cultural revolution when it comes to the types of food and drink people consume
locally – not just those on holiday.
Events like the Truro Christmas Market really showcase what Cornwall has to offer the country in terms of food and drink. It comes from the basis of a craft - Cornwall's food industry is burgeoning and grassroots - and is attracting a lot of attention.
Although earthy, fresh ingredients (like those in the aforementioned Cornish Stew) forms the basis of the food created here, it isn't always so utilitarian. The fishing industry in some areas has seen a resurgence - Nathan Outlaw has published this great Cornish pollack, squid and mussel stew on the BBC Good Food Website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cornishsaltpollacksq_93326
