As the year draws to a close, many of us find ourselves in a reflective mood. We’re looking back at what we did, where we went, what went well and what didn’t. Here at Amodrn, we’re in the same boat. We like to reflect back on what rocked your world this year, so we can do more of the same (plus totally new, awesome stuff) in 2017. We’ve already looked back at the wellness stories and yoga workouts you couldn’t get enough this year. Now, it’s time to round up your favourite savoury recipes of 2016. And hey, if you didn’t get a chance to cook them all, now’s your chance to bookmark them for the new year!
