This New Year’s Eve meal is all about the foods I love.

It’s my pull-out-all-the-stops menu, featuring flavours I crave – leeks, red meat and a chocolate-orange combination for dessert.

I have added to the enjoyment by making sure these recipes are easy – even the billowing soufflé that ends the meal on the stroke of midnight.
