It needs no introduction, this magical event. The heart warms and the imagination wanders with the events that are about to pass. Christmas is a time to cherish loved ones and be thankful for what we have. It is a time of giving, of celebration, of indulgence, a chance to enjoy some tasty little treats on a scale unbeknown at any other time of the year.
So as the festive season rolls in, get your preparations in order with a copy of FOODLOVER. On page 12 you will find some handy little tips for hosting your own feast, with a plethora of recipes to back it up empowering you to put on a traditional feast with a modern twist.
If you are planning on hosting a party, turn to page 20 for canapé ideas and recipes to dazzle your guests as they enter your home. Resident foodie Katy Hofstede-Smith also suggests how to make the most of your decorations and transform your home into a magical winter wonderland on page 48. As your thoughts turn to presents, have you ever thought about
creating your own biscuit-based delights? Tom Smart explores the gift of food on page 27 and offers some inspiration to create a few sugar-filled little stocking fillers yourself. Catch up with Agaric Chef Nick Coiley on page 42 as he lays out his plans for an alternative Christmas this year, while in our producer highlight on page 44 we take a look at Devon-based producer Hillside Speciallity Foods, who are creating artisan cheeseboard accompaniments that are causing quite a stir. Sit back, relax, unwind and turn the pages. There is plenty here to get the festive juices flowing, so take the opportunity to digest in full before the tree goes up and the children begin to dream…
