What have you been eating this past week? I ask because January is always a sort of weird month when it comes to eating and drinking. Well, mostly eating. We’ve just come out of a season of indulgence of richness and comfort. In a second, from 11.59.59 p.m. on December 31st, we don’t just move from one day to another or a month but to a new calendar year, and with that comes various feelings and decisions about our diet. Meat and bread suddenly become enemies. We twist ourselves like pretzels, adjusting to self-imposed restrictions and deprivations as we try to figure things out.
Apart from the dietary resolutions, the palate is saturated with all the big bold flavours of the holidays and long for relief and lightness.
