    I am a big fan of having family traditions, adn I think food is a great way to manifest these traditions. Classic food recipes have such a warm place in my heart, and I love reading recipes to give me ideas. I don’t like fruitcake very much – never have – But I’ll have to try the stuffed turkey sometime.

    Christmas has varying importance around the world but yes it is true: Those who celebrate it will agree that a tasty meal with family and loved ones is one of the centre points of the day! These all sound delicious and slightly varied from the usual “turkey crown”!
