Whatever your New Year’s resolutions, we’re focusing on healthy eating in our Food Edition pages this month (from page 51). Columnist Elisha Young writes about the city’s wealth of nutritious dining options, while yours truly looks at the many plant- based restaurants where you can practise Veganuary. I have to admit that a vegetable- based diet does appeal; not least the tasty- looking pesto pastry spirals on page 61! Also in this issue is a piece on making home improvements – ‘Move or Improve?’ on page 76. This explores the various ways in which you can add more space and light or improve the flow of your home. From loft extensions to conservatories, installing ground source heat pumps or retrofitting solar panels – there are so many ways to boost your home’s value and even see a return, perhaps falling in love with it all over again… but not losing money if you choose to list it. Best wishes to all for a happy and healthy start to 2025!
the built landscape of Cambridge. Our city has 67 Grade I and 47 Grade II listed buildings – among them are gems
designed by the likes of Sir Christopher Wren and Sir Norman Foster, as well as wonderful examples of historic and vernacular styles, design ingenuity and bold ambition. We’re fortunate to have so many listed colleges, bridges and churches – it’s no wonder the city is such a tourist hotspot! (If you have a favourite building we haven’t included in our top ten on page 11, please do write in to the email address letters@cambsedition.co.uk and let us know.) We’re also launching our new People’s Choice Awards this month: an opportunity to recognise the best local businesses, be they tourist attractions, health spas, music venues, pubs or restaurants. There are 15 categories in all, so flip to page 16 to find out how to vote for those shortlisted by our editorial team or nominate a deserving business that you think also makes the grade.
