Stranded as I am in Los Angeles (listening to Mudd and Bing Crosby... Sigh...) I have decided to throw a lunch party tomorrow - Christmas Day - for a bunch of other Christmas orphans from my programme.
Given that we have vegans and veggies and all sorts of dietary requirements and considerations, I have decided NOT to do a turkey - or a ham - but instead I'm preparing a whole bunch of small things that people can nibble.
Piece-de-resistance will likely be the delicious-looking leg of lamb that I'll roast tomorrow. Along with it;
- caramelised maple sweet potatoes
- a ratatouille that looks just like the one from the movie (thank you Thomas Keller!)
- Conor's "roasted roots" - potatoes, garlic and fennel
- white miso peas and carrots
- Ellen's grilled asparagus
- cranberry bread and butter
AND FOR DESSERT;
- my pumpkin spiced bread & butter pudding
- chocolate raspberry brownies
- coconut macaroons with pomegranate cream
- pumpkin pie
- french macaroons with cranberry sweet cream filling
