Finger food needn't be fancy, so New Year is a good opportunity to clear the decks. The only real rule is to keep things to just one bite no one wants to be manoeuvring a fork, after all. People just want a big hug of comfort food with a decadent twist, says Max Bergius, founder of Secret Smokehouse in east London.

Christmas party season is upon us, and with it comes late nights centered around booze, cocktails and canapés... and perhaps a drunken rendition of Fairytale In New York. Dashing straight from the office to the pub or party often means that a proper meal gets overlooked-sometimes for days on end-instead fuelling our festivities with 'picky bits'. The result? The all-too-well-known party season cycle of overindulging, feeling sluggish, riddled with guilt, not getting enough sleep and then waking up to start all over again.
