Winter has a way of drawing us back to the kitchen.
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, baking becomes less about speed and more about comfort. It’s about warming the house, slowing down, and creating something meaningful with your hands.
That spirit is at the heart of our newest release: Winter Seasonal Bakes, a curated cookbook inspired by winter’s most comforting flavours and the heritage flours we mill right here at Arva Flour Mills.
This collection brings together 10 thoughtfully developed winter recipes, each designed to showcase how different grains and flours truly shine when paired with seasonal ingredients.
Inside, you’ll find bakes that feel right at home on a snowy afternoon or at a full winter table.

Every recipe highlights a specific Arva flour, from Whole Red Fife and Spelt to Einkorn, Emmer, Rye, and Gluten Free blends. Along the way, you’ll see how heritage grains bring depth, texture, and flavour that mass-produced flours simply can’t replicate.
Like all Arva recipes, these bakes are grounded in tradition. Our flours are milled without bleach, preservatives, or enhancers, using methods we’ve relied on since 1819. That simplicity lets the grain speak for itself and makes winter baking feel both nourishing and deeply satisfying.
This cookbook isn’t about rushing through a checklist of recipes. It’s an invitation to slow down, turn on the oven, and enjoy the quiet magic of winter baking.
Whether you’re planning a holiday table, looking for a new weekend baking project, or simply craving something warm and homemade, Winter Seasonal Bakes was created to meet you there.
