“All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

January’s name is derived from the Latin, ianua, meaning ‘door’. It’s the month that opens onto the New Year, you want the first person who comes through your door after midnight to be bringing salt (symbolising money – people used to have their earnings paid in salt, hence the word ‘salary’), or bread and wine (symbolising plenty).

This is the month to take advantage of the scallops, the rhubarb, and the oranges in season.

Saturday lunch:

  • cheesy-quichy-souffly – a sort of tart/souffle hybrid, a souffle in a pastry case, light, puffy, very cheesy – which is also good when eaten cold the following day. It becomes solid and intense, easy to eat in your fingers, good for picnics and lunch boxes
