Crimson tide: venison with sweet and sour chard. Photograph: Jonathan Lovekin for the Observer There is nothing like a glass of blood-orange juice under a grey-white winter sky to lift the spirits. I have one at my elbow right now. The crunch of a handful of pomegranate seeds, a little lemon zest on the tongue or the scent of a stalk of lemongrass crushed under the blade of a knife will have much the same effect. If I were even remotely religious I might suspect some god or another of giving us citrus fruits and bright, sharp flavours simply to cheer us up in the depths of winter.

Yotam Ottolenghi's chicken sofrito: The simple preparation belies the complexity of flavours at work in this classic Sephardic stew. Photograph: Colin Campbell for the Guardian Chicken sofrito This relatively simple Sephardic dish yields many layers of comforting flavours. The corn salad that follows it makes a perfect match.Yotam Ottolenghi's harissa-marinated beef sirloin with preserved lemon sauce: It seems to carry you away somewhere far and exotic. Photograph: Colin Campbell for the Guardian I have been cooking with preserved lemon for years, using it left, right and centre, but I am still far from reaching my limit. It's one of those rare ingredients, like cardamom, rosewater and lemongrass, that not only paints a dish with a very specific colour, it also seems to carry you away somewhere far and exotic – a cheap trick, maybe, but it works. Making your own is the best option – there's a recipe in my first book , and there are many more online – but they are also widely available in Middle Eastern shops and some supermarkets.
