I've written before about the significance of certain foods traditionally eaten on New Year's Day, in the hope that they will bring happiness and prosperity for the year ahead. If you want to greet the New Year heartily and hopefully, then I suggest you feast today on my Italian Sausages With Lentils, followed by the festively-gleaming Pomegranate Jewel Cake, with its promise of good fortune for all those who eat it! But whatever you eat today, I wish you all a very Happy New Year!
