January
WELCOME TO
As memories of New Year celebrations fade
,
cooks
hunker down
, warding off the cold and
rain with
warming hotpots
for the oven,
soothing stews and
comforting desserts
that will
cheer
the chilliest and darkest
of winter days. Yet there’s room, too, for
something lighter,
less nap-inducing after
the excesses of Christmas. Dishes with
zest
and zip;
an
uplifting hit
of fresh herbs…
Balance, perhaps, is the watchword this month.

and keep in the fridge, unsliced.
AHEAD
Alternatively, cool, wrap generously
in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.
Heat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3�½. Line
a 20cm x 20cm square brownie tin with non-stick
baking paper. Put
200g unsalted butter
and
200g
good-quality dark chocolate
(at least 70% cocoa solids)
in a heatproof mixing bowl set over a pan of simmering
water, making sure the bowl isn’t touching the water.
Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, combine
3 large
eggs
with
200g golden caster sugar.
When the chocolate
mixture has melted, stir it into the egg mixture with
50g plain flour
and
100g Maltesers.
Pour the batter
into the prepared tin and bake for 40 minutes until the
top has developed a crust but the mixture still wobbles
slightly when you nudge the tin. Leave to cool in the tin,
then chill for 4 hours. Slice into squares and serve
topped with lightly crushed Maltesers.

That’s the theme for this first issue of the
year. It’s about keeping hold of good cheer,
not depressing yourself with resolutions
you know will be impossible to keep.
Rather than focusing on unrealistic goals
borne out of a sense of duty, far better to
dream about the things you’d love to do – with a healthy dose
of fresh air mixed in. Food writer Signe Johansen, a voice of
sanity, takes that tack on p22 – a breath of fresh air in itself.
There’s no denying it’s tricky, though. We’ve just left
behind the joyous Christmas festivities – season of goodwill
and, yes, indulgence – and I’m the first to admit I struggle
with my weight… So what’s the solution? What we hope
we’ve achieved in this January issue is balance. If you’re
fed up, there’s no harm in enjoying a lunch or dinner at the
weekend that makes a hero of (yes please) melted cheese. But
then use our wise ingredient-swap meals (p92) or healthy
veggie meals-in-a-bowl to keep an eye on the calorie count
midweek. In a nutshell, there are food hugs when you need
them, alongside bright-tasting recipes for days when you
yearn for fresher flavours.
There’s plenty to get you thinking,
too: are trendy food obsessions
harming the planet, for one
thing (p48)? I’ll leave you
to ponder that one… And
I wish you a month full
of good things.
Comfort & warmth
Movie magic
There’s nothing food-related in
the film
Denial,
but start with a
pre-theatre dinner (visit delicious
magazine.co.uk for a round-up of
Michelin-star deals) and make a
big night of it. The film is based
on the true story of historian
Deborah Lipstadt’s court battle
against Holocaust denier David
Irving (Timothy Spall), who
brought a libel suit against her in
1996. The film also stars Rachel
Weisz as Lipstadt and Tom
Wilkinson as her defence
barrister. It’s gripping stuff, even
if it’s divided the critics.
An eye-opening read

Science writer Gary Taubes has
made it his business to challenge
the received thinking when it
comes to what we eat. His new
book,
The Case Against Sugar
(£14.99, Portobello; out in
paperback 5 Jan), is sobering
reading. Surely balance is still
key, but nevertheless this is
thought-provoking, not least
for revealing how society has
been led down a blind alley on
matters of healthy eating.
