After the excesses of Christmas and our clothes feeling less comfortable than back in November, it was time to pull in the horns, cut down the alcohol, calories and portion sizes and get exercising.

Make a gorgeous easy make ahead dinner menu using sparkling wine as the celebratory theme to make it feel a little more special. Everything is cooked beforehand and literally just popped into the oven and finished off on the night, what can be better, fabulous food, very simply assembled.
