Happy New Year, Steve, and all.

I did your chicken mulligatawny soup for lunch today, Steve (I don't use carrot or lentils, however). After an hour of harvesting black olives, it was a welcome break. It really is special: quite exotic.

We'll be having foie gras on toast tonight, then guinea fowl in a black olive and butter sauce, in front of a roaring vinestock fire.

Fireworks in the olive grove at midnight, Jools Holland, then the skirl of the bagpipes on BBC Scotland, and the fireworks from Edinburgh Castle.

Tomorrow, grilled oysters, prawns in spicy mayonnaise, then a Southern Chinese dish: beef and mango.

Happy cooking in 2013!

If anyone is doing 'huitres gratin?es' (oysters done under the grill, with grated cheese on top), a crucial thing, which I forgot at lunch today, but my wife thankfully remembered, is chopped parsley in with the cheese: makea a huge difference!

Happy New Year to all of you lovely people :-)

We have just returned from the Ice-Hotel in Sweden, where we had hone with both our daughters and their partners. It was a most unusual New-Year celebration! We never got to see the Aurora Borealis, even after 4 days stay in the region :-(
