This is another one of those side dishes that looks beautiful on the plate next to some delicious meat and potatoes… SO simple to cook and even more tasty to eat, try them at BBQs or at dinner parties… These are also FANTASTIC to serve at your Christmas dinner table – they are essentially Christmas baubles! You CAN use shallots or white oinions but I find the red to be best as they are a little sweeter..

I’m sure there are infinte varieties of cranberry relish on our Thanksgiving and Christmas tables. With this one I wanted to evoke a traditional New England flavor. Fortunately I can buy cranberries fresh from Cape Cod.

I found this recipe on the internet when trying to find something yummy I could make for myself over the Christmas period, as I don’t eat meat. What I love about this is that no bread crumbs are used; tofu is used instead. And the addition of the chillis give a nice bit of heat.

Quick and Easy French Cognac and Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 07:09:28 +0000

This is a really easy ice cream to whip up and one that I make every Christmas to go with the Christmas pudding and with my annual Rumtopf or Brandied Cherries and Apricots. You can make it in an ice cream maker if you have one, but as it is a non-custard base ice cream, it works just as well without an ice cream maker
