Every year at this time I feel entirely gross and slightly cranky at myself for my inability to say ‘no!’ to that last piece of chocolate or that last potato baked in duck fat (mmmmmm, thanks bro, great spuds as per usual).
But as good as the indulgence all was, it’s time now to get back on track. So here are the recipes that I turn to whenever I need to reset my stomach (and my entire sense of well being)…
I started today with home-made muesli.
Fish congee is total comfort food.
The slight acidity of this tomato salad feels as though it’s cutting through the days of fatty eating.
More japanese-inspired comfort.
Fish burritos are tasty but light.
My personal favourite soothing dinner (and the dish I’m cooking tonight) chicken noodle soup.
I like all of these dishes since they’re filling and tasty, but far more gentler on my system than the food I’ve eaten over the last couple of weeks. And I promise, if you tackle these recipes, you’ll be back on track and ready to indulge all over again by New Years Eve!

Yes. I’ve still got half a box of chocolates looking at me. Maybe just one after my healthy dinner!
