T e Shops at Dartington's Top Tips for Festive Hosting
NEED TO CHILL WINE DOWN QUICKLY? - Wrap the bottles in a damp tea-towel before popping in the freezer. It’ll be ice-cold in less than half an hour. Alternatively, pick up a Corkcicle from our kitchen shop. T is niſt y gadget chills down wine from inside the bottle, taking no time at all. Simply leave it in the freezer in between use. FOR A TASTY BOXING DAY DESSERT, WHIP UP A QUICK CHRISTMAS PUDDING ROLL. - Simply take a sheet of pre-rolled, shop-bought puff pastry, and cover it with broken-up leſt over Christmas pudding. Roll it up and egg wash. Bake at 200C for approximately 20 mins when it will be golden brown. Dust with icing sugar and smugly present to the family.
