Let’s put party into pie

Ringing in the New Year with a big group? Roz Crowley offers some of her favourite sweet (and sour) recipes for dinner

I’M GOING all retro for this New Year’s Eve, bringing back the great taste of sweet and sour. It can be a strange night and quite a moveable feast. People come and go, bringing extra friends and relatives to ring in the new year.

The key with food is flexibility, so choosing a relaxed menu is essential. This means avoiding a roast or anything that can’t be heated up easily. This is where a pie comes into its own.
