If you'd like to have something a little different for your New Year's eve dinner why not enjoy an Italian inspired offering with this recipe from Hip Pressure Cooking.
During New Year's celebrations many Italians enjoy lentils with Cotechino or Zampone (a kind of pork sausage mix where meat is stuffed inside the leg of a pig rather than the usual sausage casing).
The recipe covers everything and even offers an alternative option for those who can't find Cotechino or Zampone.
Don't forget to eat lots of the lentils as Italians believe the more you eat on New Year's eve the more prosperous you will be that year.
Rather than just being faux-meat, Mamu is different. It's a mushroom-based meat alternative that's getting its launch in restaurants so that chefs can test its versatility. Flora Tsapovsky investigates.
