Caitríona Redmond: My turkey and ham filo pie recipe will use up any festive leftovers

Plus my 2024 resolutions and food predictions

This filo pie recipe is worth the effort.

It’s time for my annual performance review. How do I do this you may ask? It all sounds very official but it’s more an informal thing to be honest. Being freelance I’m essentially assessing myself, but I am also my greatest critic so don’t expect me to go easy on myself.

The first indicator of my kitchen performance is the brown or compost bin. I can easily review how I am getting on by logging into my waste collector’s website or checking my invoices for the past year for the lift weights. The heavier the bin, the more food waste I have thrown out. I’ll crosscheck this against my weights in 2022 and there is every chance I’ll have to confront an uncomfortable truth, that I threw out more this year than last.
