Here’s how we enjoyed the season.

Couronne
Whilst we wait for Christmas, between mince pies, I wanted to add something different for tea.
Spiced fruits, nuts and marzipan are in the dough, I put colourful cherries on top of it.
Didn’t last long!

Christmas Cake
A very traditional “boozy” English Christmas cake, coated marzipan and icing.
One is for Richard’s parents, the other one is for his uncle, as one of our gifts.

As Richard’s parents are not keen on smoked salmon, we have this Russian fish pie with tartar sauce, as a starter for our Christmas dinner.
It’s filled with fish(this year I used cod) , rice, boiled eggs and herbs , rolled with puff pastry, sprinkled with poppy seeds. Should be eaten the following day, when all flavours are fully matured.
