My Foragers Fizz Winter Cocktail is a lovely opener to any festive gathering and because it's so simple to make, you can easy make a couple of rounds of this while the canapés are handed round. Just make sure you have a steady hand!
Over the years I’ve developed this simpler recipe without the need of a roux and endless stirring. It’s something I tend to have in the winter months with lots of freshly grated nutmeg and it’s lovely with sweet turkey meat!
My Sticky Spiced Nuts are a Christmas regular. Supermarkets are full of the usual offerings, salted or sweet nuts with added dry fruits, but there’s nothing with the Christmas spices!
My Limoncello Gin and Tonic Cocktail has over the last couple of years become a regular at my own cocktail bar. There's no expensive equipment required, only a steady hand! I implore you to try this out before you serve it to guests - it's only right that you have high quality control standards.
Spiced red cabbage is something I love to have as part of our Christmas feast. OK it would be easy to order a ready made version from the supermarket, but once you see how simple this really is to make, YOU WILL make this again and again like I do.
Have you ever wondered how to make proper turkey gravy? It's ridiculously simple and The quality of your gravy at the Christmas table could make or break the meal - I'm being serious! Over the years I've tried some supermarket 'fresh' gravies only to be left disappointed so one year I took the plunge and made my own and I've never looked back since!
After watching a disastrous brownie challenge during the 2020 Great British Bake Off (chocolate week), I wondered how hard could it be to make a great brownie? With my faithful assistant and brownie expert by my side (Benjamin, aged 5), we set about making a batch of gooey brownies which were given his seal of approval!
A Roast Chicken dinner is a hit in my home, and with 2 young children at the table I make sure there are plenty of veggies, so it's no wonder that I have enough ingredients to make this delicious Leftover Roast Chicken Soup.
Whenever we order Indian takeaway, we always include a stack of papadum and the full pickle tray which includes the Kachumber Indian Onion Cucumber and Tomato Salad To my mind there's never enough of the Kachumber salad, so when we're having an Indian fakeaway, I make plenty to go around!
