Here we go again, turning our thoughts towards Christmas.
It’s only four weeks till D Day, or rather C Day, so getting ourselves prepared is not such a bad idea.
In the next four weeks we’ll be posting lots of ideas for your Christmas meals, in fact we have so many we’ll be posting twice as often as usual but just in case you’re a real scout and would like to be prepared NOW, we’re here to help.
Listed below are links to lots of our Christmas recipes from last year but there are many, many recipes on our website, lots of which will be suitable for your festive tables, so go ahead, have a browse, see what tickles your fancy for Christmas from our posts throughout the years.
For example, our Spicy Corn Soup with Crayfish Tails, which we posted in August, is a pretty celebratory entrée which can be served warm or chilled depending on your hemisphere and topped with prawns, crispy bacon or even marinated feta for an equally luxurious but more economical dish. http://www.thecoeliacsrevenge.com/our-blog/2017/6/27/luxe-soup
Consider ‘Jenny’s Frozen Lemon Meringue Cake’ which we posted in July http://www.thecoeliacsrevenge.com/our-blog/2017/6/26/jennys-frozen-lemon-meringue-cake or our Medovik cake which we posted in September, http://www.thecoeliacsrevenge.com/our-blog/2017/8/23/worth-the-work both impressive and celebratory cakes.
Last year for entree our suggestions were:
