5 New Year's Foods to Bring Good Luck

Hello Food Wishers! Chef John's Corporate Overlords here to help you start the new year right! Different traditions all over the world tell us which foods to eat on New Year's Day to ensure good luck in the coming months. Are they really lucky? No one knows! But these recipes are delicious, so why not give them a try? Eating "poor" on New Year's Day will supposedly provide prosperity and good luck for the rest of the year, but eating poor doesn't have to mean eating poorly! Chef John’s Utica Beans & Greens, New Year’s Day Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing, and "Pasta Fazool" (Pasta e Fagioli) are all great ways to incorporate the southern tradition of eating beans and greens on January 1st! Looking for something a little richer? Try Chef John's bacon-wrapped "New Year's Baby" Porchetta or splurge on a Roast Tenderloin of Beef for an elegant New Year's Eve dinner. No matter how you choose to spend the first day of the year, Chef John has a good luck recipe for you!
