In this month's issue

I lack the discipline to stick to New Year’s resolutions, so I never bother, but I do have an ambition for 2025: to eat less meat. I eat beef, pork, chicken and lamb, but in moderation, and when I do, it’s highwelfare and mainly organic and certainly free-range. As good butchers say: more quality, less often. But I’m determined to cut down even more this year, for the simple reason that I know it’s better for the planet – and that means making veg the star. To inspire me – and you, I hope – our team have come up with some sensational recipes.

The recipes use ‘seasonal’ veg, but that got us talking in the office: given the freak weather events of recent times, what does ‘seasonality’ actually mean? Is climate change altering the calendar for harvesting fruit and veg? On page you’ll find our managing editor Lulu Grimes’ deep dive into how to shop and cook for the ever-changing conditions. And throughout your mag, look out for tips and guidance for how to make our recipes as sustainable as possible.
