How to eat in Jan and for ever more We stir from Christmas mulling to brave a new year, only to be smacked with a generous helping of dietary challenges. The role of food as the great leveller and unifier rose to prominence in the pandemic, but you’d never know if you used January as a barometer. Food identity politics shines bright in the first month of the year. What you eat and drink, or don’t, defines who you are as a person.

Lovely read Mallika. I found January very healing, a little stressful workwise but overall healing as it gave me more time to cook for myself. For so long I had been creating for others. Wow!!! I totally missed Giles Coren-gate but then I don’t read restaurant reviews because they are just one person’s opinion, a person paid to be provocative and sound clever. More of that “West African food” is coming and the world will be addicted to it all, and for the better. I am West African and I have never known West Africa to be inventors of fried chicken. 😂😂😂

Not Giles Coren please. Ever. He’s truly ghastly. Try his sister Victoria.
