Homemade Christmas Stollen

December 20, 2016

Homemade Christmas Stollen

Ahh say hello to the beauty that is homemade Christmas stollen! Stollen has long been one of my favourite festive treats so I was pretty stoked to try making it at home. (My mum, however, was less excited as she’s bought some especially for me coming home at Christmas. I assured her I’ll have no problem eating that too!)

Homemade Pork & Chestnut Stuffing

Last Christmas was the first time I ever made this pork & chestnut stuffing. Actually, I was cooking a full Christmas dinner for the first time, too. For 13 people.

Dark Chocolate Lebkuchen

When I shared a picture of these dark chocolate lebkuchen on instagram a few weeks ago, you guys seemed preeeetty into them. And, for good reason.

I’m not even gonna admit how many of these I managed to get through during this shoot…

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pine Nuts & Pancetta

These roasted brussel sprouts with pine nuts and crispy little bits of pancetta have kind of been a game changer for me. I’m well aware that a post about brussel sprouts may seem like a bit of a let down after sharing that chocolate orange bread wreath a few days ago. I get it, I do. Brussel sprouts are never gonna be the star of the Christmas Read Post

Beetroot & Goats Cheese Lentil Salad

Let me start this post with a little story about this beetroot goats cheese lentil salad. After making it for about the millionth time a few weeks ago, I thought to myself “I should totally share this on the blog”. So, later that week, with very pink fingers (I never learn!) I shot these photos. Turns out, I’d already had that exact same thought almost 2 Read Post
