Dark Days of Winter

In the dark days of deep mid-winter, we cast an eye back to the luminous things that lit up the year – great books, great performances, great sounds. Whilst our New Year's Megabites will sing the praises of those food people who have blazed through 2015, this time we take a personal look at things we have enjoyed especially during the year, the sort of things that let you compare Beyoncé to Taylor Swift!. All this, plus whiskey, Waterford, Fish Shop, Cork's Crawford, and Gazza on the precise art of selecting and using knives to your best advantage in the kitchen.
