During the run up to Christmas, when I am busy and need to take a break, I will make a cup of coffee, sit down and flick through a magazine or book. At that moment I do not want to read the words, I just want to rest my mind and enjoy the photographs. The reading will come at a later date when life is not so busy.
With this in mind, I want to show you the Christmas Book I have used for many years. This book was written by Nanette Newman and was published in 1984 and is the book which inspires me year after year with it's wonderful recipes and photographs.
So without anymore words..... well maybe the odd one or two, stop what you are doing, make a cup of coffee and let your mind relax and enjoy the photographs.
Christmas Goose
Smoked Salmon and Watercress Mousse
Tipsy Chicken
Christmas Cake
Sweet Treats
Stilton Savouries
I hope you did take a break and relaxed with your cup of coffee....even for just a couple of minutes.
This week I shall be joining,
Take care and I will see you on Sunday.
These all look so tasty!
