Well, I am proud to say that I have once again taken up Donna Hay and begun to stumble along with it. This Christmas has been so crazy and great in terms of what I have been cooking. I have never really been into Christmas baking by myself. I used to do baking with my mum each Christmas but since I got married I’m afraid it kind of fell by the wayside particularly as most of our Christmas’ have been somewhere else other than home. But this year I have had a break through and I have DH mag to thank for it, mostly. It has actually been last year’s Christmas cookbook that I have been using as I only received this years cookbook this morning, so it was a little late in coming but that is the mail service in this country for you.
I have successfully mastered gingerbread, which I have never ever really liked before but can now say that it is quite delicious and very easy to make. Biscotti making is also a first for me and once again simple and easy and very, very yummy! Tonight I made Lemon, Ginger Chicken from the 2010 Christmas Dec/Jan edition, wow what a an amazing recipe. I think it will be going to the proverbial pool room for family favourites and so incredibly easy too! For our first Christmas party for the year I am going to try and make Roasted Potatoes with Green beans and Speck.
No recipes this time but the roasted potatoes were fantastic! And I just finished making Cinnamon and Cherry Biscotti from last years mag. Definitely worth the very little effort it takes to make. Yum, Yum, Yum.
