After the Christmas excesses, there’s something slightly masochistic about going from feast to famine and embarking upon a New Year diet in the name of self-improvement. With the bitter cold and various lurgies doing the rounds, a harsh and meagre food regime is the short cut to the miserable winter blues and leaves you wide open to colds and flus, if you’re not careful.
That’s why at MyDish we think you should ditch the January diet and indulge yourself with wonderful warming soups, stews and casseroles. These can be crammed full of lovely veg and pulses as well as meat and carbs. And why not treat yourself to a cake or two while you’re at it? A little bit of what you fancy does you good.
Remember, we’re not saying ‘be unhealthy’, we just think January’s grim enough without putting yourself on starvation rations too. It’s months until you have to squeeze into that summer bikini.
Here are some lovely tasty warming soups, stews, casseroles and winter warmers to keep out the chill.
