Start Wizard
The winter table is built around a feeling of warmth: dark and earth-toned tablecloths, textured napkins, and candlelight bring an enveloping intimacy to the table. Heavy serving dishes and casseroles are the stars of winter; keeping them on a trivet at the center of the table, open for sharing, brings everyone together.
Hot dishes need careful timing at the winter table: bringing the casserole and soup out right before serving, and keeping the pot warm on a trivet at the table, preserves the flavor. Keeping hot bread, sahlep, or a pot of tea ready alongside completes the winter table.
