Hello friends

I hope you have had a good week. I am not sure how it is for you, but here its certainly beginning to feel a lot like Christmas and this week I have a brand new recipe that you might like to add to your festive repertoire. No-bake Cranberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake.

When I first started recipe writing many year ago, cranberries were not easy to get here in the UK. First dried cranberries appeared and now at Christmas time at least they are readily available fresh or frozen in most supermarkets. So over recent years they have been incorporated more and more into my cooking at this time of the year. Nowadays, it wouldn’t be Christmas without cranberries served in at least one of my dishes.

I love the sharp tangy flavour wish and wish they were easily available in all forms all year. Try some of my Cranberry recipes and I’m sure you will be hooked too if you are not already.

This year I have decided to break with a lifetime tradition and not cook a turkey for Christmas Day. A good free-range bird has got so hugely expensive and for the price there are so many other delicious possibilities. I toyed with the idea last year but in the end stuck with tradition. This year I’m opting for beef and if you are looking for an alternative roast this year then check out my What not Turkey! Post linked below.

If you are sticking with the tradition turkey main meal, next week I will send you the link for my Christmas dinner time plan which will help your day go smoothly. I’ll also link up my alternative Christmas dessert recipe collection with lots of ideas for fabulous festive desserts

So that’s it for now, until next time have a delicious week (and don’t eat too many mince pies).
