It's really getting festive round here. At the house where I live, (where Christmas is very savoury-food-centric), the fridge is beginning to fill with ham, sausagemeat, red cabbage and turkey liver for paté. I'm sure that at my father's flat the big red wooden reindeer full of drawers is doing his Advent duty. Only yesterday I spent a very happy morning decorating the window of the shop where I work. The air is nippy; the frost is on the ground; Oxford Street is heaving.
It's really high time we all started getting sorted, so to help out, I'm posting a list of all the festive advice and recipes I've given on this blog in one place. You'll notice that there are some conspicuous absences from this list - nativity scenes, Christmas pudding, turkey or goose recipes, mince pies, and so on. At some point I will post my recipe mincemeat mince pies made with real minced meat - not mincemeat, minced meat - or meatmince, if you will. But I have to get them perfectly squidgy and flavoursome first. As for the rest - I can only blog so much a year!
