Welcome to the

Welcome one and all to the January issue of
What’s On and though the weather may be cold
and frightful, there’s one place to escape the winter
blues this month so why not curl up by the fireside
and devour a copy of Bristol’s number one enter-
tainment guide?
With the festivities of Christmas a dim and distant
memory, time to look forward to a brand new year
and opportunities, possibilities and everything to
play for as they say. This month we explore health
in its various forms, whether it’s the traditional
post Christmas detox or perhaps a more rigorous
approach by taking the plunge and joining a gym.
With many roads leading to Rome we look at ways
to improve your general fitness from a holistic ap-
proach to more conventional methods.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that not a lot happens
in January but leaf through this issue and I think

spice of life
to Bristol
Myristica specialises in authentic, regional-specific Indian food

The menu reads like an Indian food odyssey with exotic ingredients and a much more
extensive choice of fish and vegetarian dishes and desserts, and whereas most Indian
restaurants use one curry sauce as a base for all their dishes, at Myristica all sauces are
made individually to order for true authenticity.
