Do you have a holiday tradition you’re looking forward to?

Personal chef Jill Aker-Ray says food is often believed to be the way to good luck and fortune. Some cultures have a smashing good time when seeking out their fortune. “In Greek culture pomegranates at the stroke of midnight are pummeled at the front door of the home. Soba noodles are the New Year’s food of choice in Asian cultures, where slurping the noodles without breaking them is said to bring good luck. Spaniards prefer grapes, popping one at each stroke of midnight representing the months of the year.
