Pig in the Kitchen: Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Rural Normandy, France

It would be really nice if I had an editor for my blog. You know someone who looks ahead, marks important dates in the diary and then commissions content from me.

If I had someone like that then:
a) I would have posted this new year greeting in a timely manner and
b) I would have a new year recipe right here to show you.

So anyway, here I am wishing you a slightly belated Happy New Year! and leaving a frosty, wintry sort of photo for your pleasure instead of a new recipe. I know. Sloppy.

I will now retreat to my kitchen and concoct for you.

My head says cleansing soups and plain food. My heart is all about steamed syrup pudding, sweet jam roly poly and thick custard.

I may have to re-name the blog Fat Pig in the Kitchen's Artery-Furring Recipes for Lard Arses (gluten free and/or vegan.)

What d'you reckon?

Hasta luego chicos!

And how about a combination of healthy soups and puddings? Alternate, so we can detox.... and then retox! but preferably more detox please :-)

Iota said...: I say... syrup pudding. Notwithstanding the low sugar diet, of course. Don't you just love that word, 'notwithstanding'?; 7 January 2011 at 21:45
Anonymous said...: Was just reading in the New York Times, the latest trend is that people are getting annoyed with being wished a Happy New Year any time past January 1st. How bizarre! Not me. Happy New Year!

Sarah, Maison Cupcake said...: Happy New Year!

Don't worry about it, I'm deliberately taking it easy in January after all the mayhem of December. I think it's fine to greet people with Happy New Year at any time before Valentine's Day.; 13 January 2011 at 12:43

Pig is feeling the lurve...

‘I've been cooking your recipes for 2 years and you are my God, Guru, Oh Great One...down here in New Zealand we eat one of your recipes at least once a day.’ Diane, New Zealand

"Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm a total baking novice (I had to buy everything, right down to measuring spoons and scales to make these), but I really wanted to be able to make something for my my egg/dairy-free daughter while she was home for Christmas. These came out so well when I was having a practise run that I actually took one in a tiny cake tin to Heathrow to meet her! I made them many times while she was here, including for Christmas breakfast, and when she was leaving I made them again to take back to the airport with us. They were like little beacons of love, with added chocolate!" Anne

Hi Pig! Just wanted to share that although we've had the fab news my boy can now eat cooked egg as an ingredient and I'm baking like a crazed Mary Berry on steroids, he still is adamant that CAKE OF SUCCESS is the best cake in the world!!!! So I wont be throwing away the golden syrup or linseeds too soon! Lucy, Wales xxxx

'Great blog - your photos are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing all your great recipes with the world! :) ' The Marketing Mama

'Dear Pig,I came across your blog after it was mentioned on mumsnet. I am practically crying.Thank you. Not only is there an overwhelming richness in terms of foods and recipe variations but all of the stories too!Bless you XXX' Anon

'I made the bread rolls yesterday. They were fabulous. Is here an appropriate place to admit that I ate all six?' MommaloveUk

The great thing about your recipes is that they are designed for a busy mum. I can buy nearly all the ingredients at the supermarket and most of them seem pretty hard to get wrong. Your blog has saved me hours of frustration trying to adapt normal recipes, saved me tons of money in ingredients and saved my dog from type II diabetes I am sure :-) Anyway we are most grateful! Sam (via email)

'Hi, another new adept here... After being given your site info from my sister who's in England, I immediately searched your recipes for something to give a horde of 8-year-old boys coming to my son's birthday party. Your chocolate cupcakes were an absolute hit with everyone. Thank you!'
Kevyn, Canada

'My partner and I made double batches of these [pittas] and ate them hot from the oven with hummous and they are FANTASTIC.'

Aliceone

'LOVE your blog - both the writing and the recipes! My little boy is dairy, egg and soya intolerant and yours is the only place I've found where I can browse recipes with gay abandon!'

'This is seriously good crumble.'
