In Scotland, Hug Manet is probably the biggest celebration.
00:03
Until very recently, it was probably the main celebration at this time of year,
00:09
even bigger than Christmas. You know, going back to the 50s,
00:12
you know, in Scotland, we still went to work. We didn't get a day off
00:15
for Christmas because we always said Hug Manet.
00:18
But in my book, I've actually got a chapter on Hug Manet and New Year's Day,
00:23
because I think they're both very distinctive.
00:25
You know, you've got the celebration food, you know,
00:28
things like the steak pies and the sort of opulent meals that you get on that kind of night.
00:35
And then you've got the morning after food, you know, where you just want to survive.
00:40
You know, so things like homemade sausages and kippers and porridge and things like that.
00:44
And really quick and easy stuff like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs is in the
00:48
in the New Year's Day chapter.
00:50
And throughout the book, there's loads of hints and tips on how you actually plan it,
00:55
because the last thing you want to be doing in these big occasions has been stuck in the kitchen,
00:59
whether that's Hug Manet, but especially New Year's Day,
01:02
because I don't know anyone that's fit enough that day to be doing some gastronomic food.
01:07
But again, just with thinking a little bit smart and getting organized,
01:11
you can have some great food.
