Food & Drink
January is all about chucking everything together in a bowl and calling it a salad! These divine seasonal ingredients make ideal ingredients and sides for your next barbecue or al fresco dinner.
Seafood
Sometimes it’s good to offer people something slightly nicer than a bag of crisps. These are dead easy to make but look impressively fancy.
Beverage
Blueberry and thyme are the most delicious combination, especially when mixed into a gin. I used Greenall’s Blueberry London Gin for this drink, but many of the flavoured gins will work well here.
Beverage
Give your basic wine spritzer a bit of a zing with the addition of fresh herbs. The citrus and lime top notes of a good Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for this drink that you can enjoy when parked up on a sunny afternoon.
Food & Drink
Use lots of fresh seasonal produce to give your Christmas table a pop of natural colour.
Beverage
The silly season is upon us; time to rock out the bubbles! Champagne cocktails are delicious as a festive party starter. The recipe also works well with sparkling wine or prosecco. If possible, use fresh lime juice in this drink; it makes all the difference!
Beverage
Is there anything more stylish than arriving at a party and being greeted with a gorgeous classic cocktail? This is as stylish and simple as they come.
Beverage
Citrussy and slightly sweet, the French 75 Cocktail dates back to World War I, and is a great alternative to the mimosa on Christmas morning.
Meat
Juicy chunks of spicy lamb, crispy bacon and warm dates equals kebab heaven.
Vegetarian
It’s very tempting to bite into a hot, blistered tomato, but no amount of cooling white beans will soothe your burnt mouth. Add crusty bread and a simple green salad, and dinner is ready.
Sweet
A hybrid of my two favourite things: French toast and crumpets. To turn it into something more substantial, you could pop a fried egg or some fried tomatoes – or both – on top and call it dinner.
