Time to get cosy

After a long, hot summer with plenty of sunshine, there’s something quite nice about cooler days. The stifling heat is replaced by warm mugs of tea, crisp nights, and the comfort of bundling up at home. Here at the Village, we’re well and truly ready for autumn.

As we head into the colder season, one thing that we’ll be missing, however, is Book Review. After 50 years at St Ives, the much-loved bookshop has closed its doors and we will miss it dearly – it truly is the end of an era.

And while we know that this edition of Village Life won’t fill the gap left by a good, classic book, we do hope you’ll find some inspiration in its pages. Whether it’s cosy knits and the latest boots to update your winter wardrobe or look-good, taste-great recipes from Amanda Cordony, we’ve got plenty to get you ready for the season ahead.

Finally, don’t forget Mother’s Day! Mark your calendar for Sunday, 12 May, then flip this magazine over to discover our edit of the best gifts across fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle.

However you choose to spend this autumn/winter, we’re here to ensure you do it in style.

3 tbs olive oil

2 brown onions, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

5 anchovies, finely chopped

200ml dry white wine

3 stalks celery, finely diced

3 carrots, peeled, finely diced

4 parsley stalks

4 sprigs thyme

2 bay leaves

1 40-50g piece parmesan rind

salt and pepper

1 lemon, zest to garnish cup parsley leaves to garnish

GREMOLATA

1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

1 large lemon, zested

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tbs olive oil

METHOD:

1 Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the osso buco. Place in a deep 33cm saute pan with a lid. Drizzle over olive oil, and heat on medium to high heat. Sear and brown the meat on both sides for 1-2 minutes then set aside. Preheat oven to 200˚C (180˚C fan-forced).

2 Don’t clean the pan. Drizzle pan with olive oil, and cook onion on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and stir. Stir in the garlic and anchovies for 30 seconds.

3 Deglaze the pan with white wine for 30 seconds. Gently stir to lift the flavourful brown bits from the base of the pan. Add the celery, carrots, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves, stirring for 5 minutes.

4 Add parmesan rind, crushed tomatoes and stock. Submerge the osso buco into sauce. Season with salt and pepper and cover with lid.

50g salted butter, melted

1 sheet store-bought shortcrust pastry, such as Careme pastry

2 tbs raw sugar

METHOD:

1 Preheat the oven to 200˚C (180˚C fan-forced). Line a flat baking tray with baking paper.

2 Slice each apple quarter into 1mm-thin slices (use a mandoline if preferred). Place apples in a bowl with lemon juice, mixed spice and butter. Toss through well to combine.

3 Roll pastry to 3mm thickness on a clean, lightly floured bench. Cut into a 30cm circle, then transfer to the baking tray.

4 Leaving a 4cm edge, evenly spread the apple slices over the pastry, overlapping a little, working in circles from the outside in.

5 Use the back of a spoon to fold pastry edges over to contain the filling, then sprinkle sugar over the pastry and apples.
