Nibble your way into the New Year

People come and go, fitting visits to lots of friends and family into their night of fun. Food needs to be flexible to avoid frustration, so choose carefully.
A simple pie made from bought flaky pastry over a creamy chicken, lamb, beef or vegetable sauce is easy to prepare. Or try stir-fried rice with cans of chickpeas or lentils, and crispy fried onions or crisp rashers on top. But sometimes all we want is plenty of tasty and filling bites, with no plates to wash up later. Here are some ideas, and my popular recipe for savoury cupcakes. There are more ideas on my blog, rozcrowley.com. Happy New Year!
