christmas-eve-16

What a wonderful Christmas I’m having! A few months ago Julie & Steve informed me that they had just made plans to come to Sevilla for Christmas, which gave me something to look forward to. We’ve already been out and about this week, and then I planned this mahoosive Christmas Eve dinner, which turned out fabulous (if I say so myself!).

christmas-eve-dinner-16Here is a close up (for Sara) of THOSE confit potatoes from Quality Chop House in London. I have to say they didn’t quite come out the same, but they were pretty damn tasty nevertheless. And I even got some advice from chef Shaun Searly on Twitter, which I thought was very sweet of him.

christmas-eve-16-2After dinner I got out the enchanting Robert Sabuda pop up Christmas books sent to me by Jane many years ago and we all sat, well, enchanted, as we read them together. It was such a lovely evening, lots of fab food, wine and chat. Thanks for coming guys! xx

friday-night-fun-2I was so excited to find the recipe for chef Shaun Searley’s amazing confit potatoes (pictured below at the amazing Quality Chop House in London) and decided to include them in my Christmas Eve dinner. Well, they ended up taking all of Friday evening to prepare, with slicing and layering and slow baking for three hours (!!). The final frying happens just before serving. I hope they turn out, but just in case I’ll have some back-up roasties. What are you making for Christmas dinner?

ermSo I can’t figure out if this is meant to be a global unifying message or if the people who put this together really think Antarctic Emperor penguins live with Arctic Eskimos.
