"Another GREAT Jamie Oliver recipe, and one that I am preparing for New Year's Eve! Jamie says you can use any spirits or liquor, but he suggestes vodka and tequila in his recipe. These bottles look SO festive and pretty, I plan to use holly, berries, bay leaves, fruit slices, ivy and woody herbs for my bottles this year. DO check that the liquor..."

"Nicola brought this along for Boxing Day lunch. It looked soooo good and tasted the same! I have done some research on this, and apparently you can use heaps of different fillings, but I must admit that, for me, this one is just right! (if you google "images" and smorgastorta you can get some other ideas!)
One of the good things about..."

"This is steak tartare as we use to make it in Sweden. It is mixed at the table by the guests themselves. It is best served with ice-cold vodka or Champagne (but then cut down on the accessories). The quality of the meat cannot be compromised upon. Use only fresh fillet. One popular variety is to let the guests mix their steaks and then broil them on..."
