In winter, the weather makes going out and seeing friends difficult, which is why most people make the transition from meeting in bars to meeting at dinner parties.

It’s warm, convenient, and people often bring lots of wine.

Winning.

At least you were winning, until you realised that your vegetarian friend is coming along and can’t eat what you’re making.

Or conversely, you’re the vegetarian, and while your salad making skills are off the chart, you haven’t reached the point yet where your main meals are meat-eater friendly.

Worry not, good people who aren’t keen to venture out into the icy grip of winter – Daily Dish is here to save the day with three vegetarian recipes that’ll satisfy both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.

Let’s start with one of the tastiest soups that will ever touch your lips:

Camembert Bread & Onion Soup

This one is a personal favourite and a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

It’s a take on French onion soup with a freshly baked garlic and rosemary sourdough bread and gooey Camembert.

Get the recipe HERE.

Perfect for sharing. It’s also great as a starter.

Thai Green Curry

If you’re looking for a classic winter warmer, look no further.

Enjoy a delicious mix of mushrooms – shimeji and button – baby corn and broccoli, covered in a rich Thai green curry and coconut milk sauce.

It comes served with fragrant jasmine rice, and you can get the recipe HERE.

For the carb-loving pasta fans out there, you’re also in luck…

Basil Mushroom Penne

Sometimes less is more, which is why this rich tomato fennel and basil penne dish, covered in hot, melted mozzarella cheese, has proven to be so popular.

If after reading the above, you still want a meaty meal, you can check out these recipes for healthy winter comfort food, including the ever-popular Thai Red Curry Chicken Broth.

You can simply scale up the ingredients accordingly, depending on how many people you’re having over.

If it’s just the two, or four, people tucking in, you can save yourself a trip to the store by ordering a Dinner Box through Daily Dish.

Each week, they offer five different menus to choose from, with each menu featuring three or four meals like those above (for one person, two people or four people, depending on your needs).

The two-person vegetarian box is a favourite in the office, too, even amongst the meat-eaters.

Each Monday, the highest quality and freshest ingredients required to make the meals are delivered to your door, perfectly measured out to avoid the guilt of food wastage.

Added bonus – order here and score up to R250 off your first Dinner Box with 2oceansvibe.

Happy hosting.
