Hot, crispy and delicious bites for New Year celebrations

Try these divine morsels to soak up the bubbles or as a celebratory snack on New Year's Day.

Welcome food lovers! I’m so very grateful for your support in 2023. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing my weekly essays and recipes for you but I’ll be honest - it’s been a challenge to carve out the time to do it. This year I’ve written a cook book and countless thousands of words for newspaper and magazine articles - all much needed paid work.

While my community of subscribers has grown over the year - I’m deeply grateful, thank you one and all - I’d love to reinvigorate my newsletter in 2024 and tempt even more of you to sign up. I’d love you to let me know the types of articles and recipes you’d like to see more of in the coming year. Meanwhile, if you feel it’s the right time to become a subscriber, just click the button below.

See you on the other side and best wishes for a peaceful, happy and healthy 2024.

Best wishes, Sue

Crispy Polenta Bites with Green Tapenade

Making tasty finger food for a crowd can be headache-inducing but this recipe is delicious and much of it can be prepared in advance. Make the polenta and tapenade ahead of time and it will take just 10 minutes or so to cut and fry the squares.
