hh, January. A month-long festive hangover filled with penny pinching, calorie watching and self-flagellation by way of brutal new year’s resolutions. It doesn’t all have to be about forgoing things you enjoy though – as chef Alex Rushmer points out in his column inside the issue. Rallying against the most austere month of the year with a resolve to do something enjoyable rather than
sternly promising himself to abstain, he shares his food-based New Year’s resolutions over on page 61. I like his thinking: rather than subtracting something, perhaps a more positive, not to mention achievable, goal is to add something to our lives instead? One well-trodden stepping stone on the road to self-improvement is to take up an evening class. Whether to boost your career prospects, indulge an interest or hobby, learn a language or even gain a qualification, there are plenty of classes, workshops and courses on offer here in Cambridge, ranging from the practical or creative to the delightfully esoteric. Fancy a night class in forensic science? Training to be a florist? Knocking out a first draft of that novel you’ve always dreamed of penning at a creative writing retreat? Head to page 69 and get inspired. I’ve also been inspired this month by the hardworking and talented individuals in our ‘ones to watch’ feature over on page 52. A round-up of the foodie movers and shakers you need on your radar this year, it’s proof that the road ahead looks bright for the Cambridge food scene, with a crop of genuinely great looking restaurants, cafes, bars and bakeries opening their doors. As well as looking toward what’s to come, we also celebrate the successes of one of the most talked-about new openings of last year in this issue. Turn to page 46 to find out how a determined pair of foodies took the tired but well-loved Restaurant 22 and reinvented it for a new era, with phenomenally successful results. There’s also news on gigs to blast
away any post-Christmas blues in our After Hours section (page 28), art exhibitions and theatre shows to seek out for a new year culture fix (from page 11) plus ideas for thrifty family days out (page 25) and plenty more besides. I hope you enjoy the issue – see you next month! Nicola Foley EDITOR IN CHIEF
