Christmas Eve in the Kitchen

1. 
A Buche de Noel. Chocolate Swiss Roll filled with chestnut puree, whipped cream, coffee and brandy. The smothered in whipped cream then dusted with cocoa powder and decorated with a glace cherry and three clean bay leaves. This will be tomorrow's pudding...

2. 
Two x 20cm Fruit Cakes. Marzipanned and iced. One for Hairy Suit and family. And one for the Horsehound's.

3. 
An Oxtail casserole cooked yesterday and re-heated tonight. And although not a lot of meat, very scrummy indeed with heaps of seasonal veg. Perfect for a chilly night. 
For pudding? Raspberry jelly and custard...

Tomorrow's dinner is Roast Beef, sprouts, parsnips, potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Dessert is the aforementioned Buche.

Whatever you're eating, eat slowly, savour it then tell me all about it!


Merry Christmas All
