In My Kitchen ... in December

This fabulous series - In My Kitchen is hosted by Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. It is a fascinating sneak peak into the kitchens of bloggers from around the world and I feel privileged to be a part of it! Thank you, Celia!

In My Kitchen ... in December

In my kitchen ... in December the Christmas pudding hangs maturing in its calico cloth. This year I'm trying Maggie Beer's recipe from one of my favourite cookbooks 'Maggie's Table'. The uncooked mixture tasted superb - and OK, I admit I had more than one taste! I can't wait for the Christmas dinner reveal of the cooked pudding!




In my kitchen ... in December I am thrilled to have found my local Foodland Supermarket at Norwood is stocking Pepe Saya products! I will using Pepe Saya cultured butter to make a superb brandy butter to go with the Christmas pudding! Yum!






In my kitchen ... in December I am using this old chopping board - given to me by my late Mum.  It brings back treasured memories of cooking in her kitchen and learning from her! I do miss her, and Dad, and those precious moments. This beautiful board has a juice ring and is very useful when cutting anything that leaks! My Mum knew what she was doing!





In my kitchen ... in December my annual purchase of new Christmas tea towels will add a festive touch to doing the dishes!






In my kitchen ... in December we are enjoying cherries grown in locally in the Adelaide Hills. How I wish the cherry season was longer!








In my kitchen ... in December these cookie cutters will get a workout! I make biscuits each year to give away as gifts.






In my kitchen ... in December I'm using this stone shortbread mould. Bought at an after Christmas sale last year I fell in love with the Scots thistle motif. This Christmas it will be my way of paying tribute to the Scottish part of my ancestry!







Finally, from my kitchen to yours ... in December I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy and Safe New Year!

Cheers!
