This month, we will mostly be making…

… anything that involves using my Christmas presents!

Having been a very good foodie last year (which is a bit of a contradiction in terms, given that all decent foodies are – by definition – somewhat greedy and self-indulgent) Father Christmas gave me a veritable gamut of foodie gifts. So January will be all about playing with my new toys…

Sweet potato gratin – recipe from Ottolenghi: the cookbook, dishes from John Lewis

Chicken glazed with honey, hazelnuts, rosewater and saffron – recipe also from Ottolenghi (pictured here with beans, sugar snaps and orange)

Fresh juices from my new juicer – recipes from Innocent smoothie recipe book

Cappuccino from my new blue spotty cups (pictured here on my new ‘tafelloper’)
