If you haven't already got a New Year's resolution, here's some inspiration from a few D&D chefs. After a bit of gentle prodding they reveal what they have resolved to do (or not) for 2012 – chances are we won’t be the only ones knocking back fruit and veg or hitting the gym…

“In the new year I want to give up swearing in the kitchen! No f*@$!*g chance!”

Tom Cook, executive chef, Le Pont de la Tour

“My resolution is to eat more healthily. In the kitchen at Bluebird I’ll be using ingredients like blood oranges, curly kale, mackerel, pomegranates and Jerusalem artichokes, and cooking dishes such as citrus-cured salmon, venison hot pot with braised red cabbage, and spiced roast parsnip soup.”

Mark Block, head chef, Bluebird

“I’m going to try to be more healthy when I’m not cooking at work. When I’m off I tend to take the easy route in the kitchen, especially because I make so much mess just for one meal.”

Dan Loftin, head chef, Kensington Place

“A bunch of us from the kitchen at Paternoster Chop House are joining the gym in Paternoster Square – one of my chefs is running a marathon and I’m going to try to lose a few pounds.”

Bruce Wilson, head chef, Paternoster Chop House
