I gave up meat for January, partly because I’d eaten too much of it in December and partly to push myself into cooking more interesting fish, seafood and vegetarian dishes (I can thoroughly recommend Roopa Gulati’s India: The World Vegetarian, published by Bloomsbury Absolute, for this by the way).
It wasn’t especially hard, and I won’t go back to eating meat so regularly now, but I am looking forward to a hearty winter casserole in the next few days. And the chance to match it with robust red wines, since my pescatarian diet has rarely called for them.
