January brings a fresh start and a quiet, hearty k January brings a fresh start and a quiet, hearty kind of bounty. The fields may look bare, but the winter larder is full of good things. Earthy beetroot, sweet parsnips, knobbly swede, bright kale and sturdy spring onions all come into their own this month, tasting all the better for growing slowly in the cold.

It is a time for broth bowls, roasted roots, simple suppers and the comfort of cooking with what the season offers. A small reminder that even in the deepest days of winter, there is still plenty to enjoy.

@gill.meller’s chestnut and chocolate roulade is, @gill.meller’s chestnut and chocolate roulade is, all in all, a rather magical pudding, and would make the perfect pud to see in the New Year.

There are a few stages to this recipe, but it’s well worth the effort; the meringue only gets cooked for half an hour, so it all comes together in a relatively short space of time. Inside the meringue is a rich chocolate ganache, spiked with crumbled chestnuts, which add a lovely fudgy texture.

If you’d like something sweet to celebrate on New Year’s Eve, then you’ll need:

3 medium ripe pears
2 tablespoons golden caster sugar
1 vanilla pod
A small knob of butter
500ml double cream
100g dark chocolate
100g cooked peeled chestnuts
For the meringue
5 egg whites
250g unrefined caster sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a flat oven tray with lightly greased baking parchment.

Peel, core and cut pears into bite-sized chunks. Melt a knob of butter in a pan, add pears, vanilla seeds and pod, and sugar. Cook until pears soften and caramelise but still hold their shape. Set aside to cool.

Whisk egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff. Add sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking between each addition, until meringue is glossy and firm. Sift over the cocoa powder, gently fold it in. Spread mixture evenly into the prepared tin. Bake for 8 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. Bake for a further 15 minutes until crisp.

Turn the meringue out onto a sheet of parchment. Peel away the lining paper. Leave to cool slightly.

Break chocolate into a bowl. Heat 150ml of the cream until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate. Leave for a few minutes, then stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature. Whip the remaining cream to soft peaks, fold it through the cooled chocolate along with the crumbled chestnuts.

Spread the chocolate cream over the meringue, leaving a small border along its far edge. Scatter over the vanilla pears evenly. Using the parchment to help, roll the meringue from the long side into a roulade. Wrap and chill well in the fridge.

To serve, unwrap the roulade and slice into thick rounds, or bring the whole thing to the table and let everyone dig in.
