We often peg our self-esteem on short-term goals and generic standards, advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith writes ā but itās what makes you you that others truly valueRead more Leading questionsI keep waiting to feel that Iām finally enough. Iāve worked hard, am in the process of changing careers to be more of service to others, gone to therapy. I go to the gym, eat the right food, have built things Iām proud of. And yet nothing sticks. Every time I hit a goal, thereās this tiny burst of pride, then itās gone.Lately, Iāve noticed how tangled this has become with how I see my body. Iāve been training and eating well for ages, but I still feel ashamed when I look in the mirror, as though Iāve failed some invisible test. People tell me I look great but it doesnāt land. Thereās this constant hum of ānot good enoughā running underneath everything, no matter what I do. Continue reading...

Earthy, sweet swede soaks up a curry sauce like a champion, and this ginger, tomato and coconut number is no exceptionAs a day-in-day-out home cook, there is no more welcome tool in my dinner toolbox than a bung-it-in-the-oven dish. A second necessary tool in the month of January is the ability to dispose of or transform a swede into an evening meal. For the uninitiated, when roasted, the swede, that pretty, purple-creamed, dense little ball, is part-creamy, part carrot-like in nature, and earthy and sweet in flavour. It also takes to big-flavoured sauces such as this tomato, ginger and coconut curry like a chip to vinegar and couples up well with its seasonal pal, fresh, crunchy purple sprouting broccoli.

A sweet and sparkly way to use up cocktail cherries at the 19th holeIf, like many people, youāve got an opened jar of cocktail cherries in the fridge after the festivities, hereās a very classy way to use up some of the syrup.Emilio Giovanazzi, head bartender, The American Bar, Gleneagles, Auchterarder, Perthshire Continue reading...
A wholesome and indulgent pudding thatās a great way to use up dried fruit left over from the festive seasonAfter the excesses of December, these baked apples are a light, refreshing vegan pudding. The filling makes good use of any dried fruit lingering still from Christmas, and is brightened with lemon and bound with nutty tahini. As the apples bake, they turn yielding and fragrant, while the sesame oat topping crisps to a golden crown. Serve warm with a splash of cream, yoghurt or ice-cream (dairy or otherwise), and you have comfort that feels wholesome and indulgent. Continue reading...
Nolo beer is becoming easier, cheaper and tastier, so tip one back in Dry January without a careAs the last of the liqueur bottles are consigned to the recycling and the festive hangovers subside, even those of us who scorn the very concept of Dry January (no booze at all? In the gloomiest month of the year? Are they mad?) tend to take our feet off the alcohol pedal and give our livers something of a rest.Water, of course, is the easiest, cheapest and probably most effective way to detox; itās also the most boring. We can zap our inner organs with herbal infusions, turmeric/kale/spirulina shots and smoothies, or with the fermented goodness of kombuchas and kefirs, but sometimes the mindful drinking halo of virtue can become too heavy to bear and we want something that feels like a ārealā drink. You know, the one at the end of the day when you deserve something cheering, or when you meet your mates in some scuzzy pub or swanky wine bar, and you want a drink for relaxation and pleasure, but still steer clear of the hooch.

This superb winter salad uses shaved and roast pumpkin to bring a riot of textural contrast and a flash of colour to a grey winterās dayI try to grow a few varieties of squash every season, but in the past couple of years the results have more or less failed me. I originally put that down to the lack of time and attention Iād given those poor plants, but Iām now starting to wonder if the soil in my raised garden beds overlooking Lyme Bay in Dorset is actually right for them.Iām not giving up just yet, though, and this year Iāll be trying different varieties in a different bed that Iāve prepared and composted over the winter with seaweed mulch. As luck would have it, however, my friend Rob Corbett came to the rescue a couple of weeks ago by giving me several specimens when he delivered some wine from his Castlewood vineyard a few miles away in east Devon. If you know your gourds even a little, you will also know that squashes keep for months, which is handy, because they ideally need to cure and ripen before use. Happily, that also means you can use your crop throughout the long winter months.Mark Hix is a restaurateur and writer based in Lyme Regis, Dorset. His latest limited-edition book, Fishy Tales, with illustrations by Nettie Wakefield, is published at Ā£90. Continue reading...
An easy and ingenious way to use up odd bits and pieces of root vegThe dry-salting fermentation method used to make sauerkraut works brilliantly on almost any firm vegetable, so you can happily explore beyond the traditional cabbage. I had a couple of carrots and a piece of squash that needed saving, so I turned them into a golden kraut with ginger, turmeric and a little orange zest for brightness. Use whatever you have to hand and let the ingredients lead your creativity. Continue reading...
