End the year how you actually want to start the next one
No pressure. No fake “new me” energy.
Eat something you love.

Be around people who make you laugh.
Let go of everything that made this year heavy.
You don’t need a perfect plan. Just intention.

Happy New Year from me to you.
See you on the other side - cheers!

Don’t wait for January to feel better.
You don’t need a full reset to get back on track. Just a bit of rhythm.
Start small this week.
Drink more water.
Get outside for a walk.
Add a healthy element to your plate.

That’s it.
Do that and you’ll roll into January already feeling lighter, not starting from zero.

Round two tastes even better
Boxing Day is the real winner.

Leftovers, less stress, more time to actually enjoy it.
A few quick wins
• Turkey or chicken tacos with fresh lime
• Roasted veg tossed into eggs
• Cranberry sauce mixed into yoghurt or oats

Keep it simple and skip the guilt talk.
No detox. Just good food done smart.

Christmas Eve reminder

Whatever kind of Christmas you are having, slow down tonight.
You do not need to rush or stress over every little thing.

Sit down. Eat something you actually like.
Tomorrow is about connection, not perfection.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, from our kitchens to yours.

You are allowed to enjoy your food this week
Christmas food is not a test

You do not need to earn it or undo it
Eat well, move when you can, and do not let guilt ruin the best part, actually enjoying the food and the people you are with

If your relationship with food has felt stressful all year and you want next year to feel different, that is exactly what I help clients with through one to one coaching from the Cotswolds and online

Send me a message if you want a calmer way to do this, wherever you are in the UK or beyond

Your Christmas food does not need to be perfect.
Before you panic shop for the biggest menu on earth, remember this.
A good Christmas table is not about perfection.

It is about
• Everyone being fed
• You actually being present
• One thing on the table you are excited to eat

If timings go off or something is slightly overcooked, it is fine.

People remember how it felt to be there, not whether the carrots were lined up.
And if you love leftovers, even better.

Next week I will share a couple of easy leftover ideas so round two feels just as good.

The smell that takes me straight back to being a kid
Every year the same thing happens

I pull a tray of roast potatoes out of the oven and suddenly I am eight years old in my mum’s kitchen

Noise, people everywhere, someone stealing a potato off the tray, someone shouting about gravy

No one counting calories, just proper food and everyone squeezed into the same room
That is what made me fall in love with cooking

Not perfection
Connection

If you want that same feeling at your own table and would rather be in the room than stuck in the kitchen, that is what I do as a private chef across the Cotswolds, London and further afield
Send me a message if you want help creating that kind of night this coming year

December doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
You can go to parties, enjoy your food, and still feel good the next day.

It’s not about being good or bad. It’s about rhythm.
A few small moves that actually help:
• Eat a proper breakfast before events
• Don’t skip water
• Move a little each day
• Enjoy your food without guilt

You don’t need a cleanse. You need consistency.

Forget the candles and socks. Give them something better.

Hands on sessions, real skills, proper food.

Perfect for partners, friends, clients or that impossible to buy for person.

Grab one this week and let them book anytime in the new year.
Send me a message or hit the link in bio and I will get it sorted for you.

You don’t need to earn your Christmas dinner.
If you have worked hard all year, you do not have to justify enjoying food.
Stop treating a mince pie like it needs to be paid for with punishment.
Here is the truth. Guilt does more damage than food ever will.
You can enjoy Christmas and still stay balanced.
Walk a bit, drink some water, throw a few greens on your plate, and still eat the dessert.
You have earned your rest. Just do not lose yourself in it.
If you want help building this kind of balance all year, this is exactly what I coach people on, in person and online, across the UK and internationally.

Send me a message if you want support instead of another all or nothing year.
