Why dry January is a bad idea
Old habits die hard, as Aristotle knew and countless authors of today’s self-help tomes affirm. But, considers Julian Baggini, modify habits the right way and you may just find there’s something to the ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ adage
Meet the woman who’s transforming lives through food
Is it possible to overcome the allure of the cheap ready meal or trashy takeaway? Through Bags of Taste, her social enterprise, Alicia Weston is proving that, with a healthy portion of motivation, you can get people to eat better for less, long term. Felicity Cloake finds out how

YOUR RECIPE INSPIRATION
Cheese on toast
You can’t go wrong with this classic combo, whether it’s as a quick lunch or the ‘Not sure what I fancy’ supper. We’ve done a bit of re-jigging, retaining the essentials (the cheese and the toast) and come up with three irresistible twists RECIPES AND FOOD STYLING JEN BEDLOE PHOTOGRAPHS GARETH MORGANS STYLING OLIVIA WARDLE
The budget-friendly BRAISE
If you need a reason to learn the art of slow cooking, this might be it. The lengthy oven time transforms a tough, inexpensive cut of meat into a first-rate, flavourful roast that’s fall-apart tender. Add an intense, wine-rich sauce and horseradish Yorkshires and you’re in roast heaven
Food worth staying in for…
When January rolls round I crave warming comfort food with big flavours. I’ve never figured out why people choose this time of year – already dark and gloomy enough, surely – for giving things up. This month it’s all about home-cooked comforts. We’ve also rounded up some of the best telly to watch or, if you want to keep your brain active, the best board games. The salads can wait until the weather picks up because right now we’re cosying up for winter. Pass the remote…
The recipe hall of fame CORNISH PASTIES

7GREAT WAYS TO LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS
A big delicious. welcome to chef, cookery teacher, broadcaster, author and brilliant cook Thane Prince as our fifth writer in residence. A thrifty sort, she’s partial to a fridge forage. Here she gets creative with recipes that bring new life to your store of post-festive odds and ends
PINEAPPLE
”The tough exterior of this aromatic fruit hides sweet beauty within, and it’s more versatile than you might think. Enjoy pineapple grilled, fried or baked – or on its own, just as nature created it. The intense flavour marries well with strong, punchy ingredients – especially the fiery heat of chilli and ginger. I’ve used the fruit’s sour-sweet complexity to brilliant effect with these recipes for crowd-pleasing duck tacos and a reinvention of that retro classic, pineapple upside-down cake. So, is this spiky fruit ripe for revival? Absolutely”
”MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE RECIPE”
There are many reasons why people cook, and being hungry is just one of them (although it’s a pretty good one, admittedly). Expressing creativity, showing love for others and getting together round a dinner table are equally good reasons to rattle the pans. We asked chefs Thomasina Miers, Bill Granger and Matt Tebbutt to let us in on their favourite family recipes, and tell us why they’re special
”The steamy kitchen takes me back to my childhood”
For MasterChef finalist Emma Spitzer this family recipe is a living legacy. It creates a direct connection, through her mum, back to the Polish grandmother she was never able to meet
10-step guide to THE PERFECT COOKED BREAKFAST

If you make one pudding this month, make it thisÉ
We’d like to introduce, as an instant antidote to grey January, the make-ahead pudding that’s guaranteed to put a smile on the face of everyone who tries it… It has chocolate, it has custard and it’s a cinch to make as it’s quick to put together. Plus, it smells amazing as it bakes. Dig into the middle with a big spoon for melty, caramelly surprises. Yes, oh yes
