For starters I got inspired by my Scandinavian roots, I am after all quarter Finnish, and introduced Chu to the wonders of Gravadlax, a smoked salmon that is cured with dill and served with an amazing honey mustard sauce. We had ours on blinis and with sour cream- for me the perfect non meaty starter!
I have always seen myself as a bit of a mac n cheese connoisseur, with the one I tried at Spuntino (laced with leeks and spiced with a hint of mustard) topping the list of the ones I have tried so far. I have always wanted to create my very own twist on this rather simple recipe so set out to find a variation, rich enough to replace a meat based main and special enough to suit the occasion. After some google searching I came across a recipe for a blue cheese and fig mac n cheese and immediately liked the combination of these rather unusual components! The full recipe can be found here and I would fully recommend trying this surprisingly simple recipe at home, the flavours working incredibly well together, the sweetness of the figs wonderfully counterbalanced by the saltiness of the gorgonzola, making this a moorish and satisfying main that I shall definitely add to my recipe repertoire.
For dessert I wanted something simple and not too heavy considering the cheese coma that we faced post mac n cheese. I love Baileys but always think that Christmas is really the only time when it is appropriate to chip out on a bottle and thus wanted it to be at least part of our dessert (also meaning I could obviously drink the rest). Poured over some of our favourite ice cream flavours, Chu thankfully introducing me to the wonders of Haagen Dazs pralines and cream , and topped with some chopped up crunchie because hey who can say no to a bit of honeycomb, this dessert may not win me a place on the Great British Bake Off in its sophistication but was a delicious end to a great evening!

ah this looks delicious. I am so happy to hear that your christmas was great! And, actually, I have been wondering if you are somehow scandinavian, because of your hair, and your awesome taste. And german? you have been in germany? we should meet. (: <33

Sounds like fun :) Pralines and Cream Haagen Dazs is the best, wish I could get it in NZ x
I just found this blog; love your style!
The food looks so yummy especially the salmon.
I am lactose intolerant and have the latex-fruit syndrome food allergies as well as issues with lymphatic bloating from mushrooms and truffles and I get anaphylaxis from certain cheeses.
A food coma after a meal normally means an allergy check for hives, rashes, difficulty breathing and raging headaches as well as memory lapses.
I have to put a pillow under my legs to facilitate proper circulation as well.
Cheers!
love the blog!
so glad if you'd like to check and follow mine too :D
