Each week, Gastropost encourages interesting eating by challenging you to a food mission. This week, your mission is to eat something that embodies how you intend to dine in 2014. Don’t think of it as a resolution — a directive to eat less of something. Wouldn’t you prefer to think of it as having more of something delicious? Why not embrace the idea of cooking more, trying new restaurants; perhaps a raw food diet or unfamiliar cuisines? Many of you will simply want to eat healthier. Whatever’s on your menu this year, eat it and share it!
Mission Inspiration
Cherylene Wong @cher_lene Little dessert party on Christmas Eve
Proving that a resolution involving eating right doesn’t have to mean eating boring, Gastroposter Manuela Julia shared this pair of delicious-looking green dishes. “How I plan on eating this year,” she writes, involves “tons of amazing salads.” Sounds to us like an amazing year. So how will you eat in 2014?
Desiree Neilsen @desireerd Dietician’s Christmas dinner, including Tofurkey and beets
Darryl Quon @darrylquon Roast turkey for Christmas
Karen Lee @seapotato Halibut and beef Wellington Christmas special at Copa Cafe
Andrew Shopland @andrewshopland Christmas brunch including croissants made from scratch
Gastropost it
Whatever you eat in order to complete the mission, the important part is sharing it with the Gastropost community. There are several ways to do that:
Andy Teoh @andizzle813 Christmas Eve dinner
Jennifer Peng @queenjnifer Christmas dinner made by my best friend
Cathy Lau @cat_meow_meow Prime rib again! The holidays are all about stuffing your face
