I’ve said here before how I’m not really a fan of mince pies. And then I started making Nigella’s Star Topped Mince Pies with their delicious boozy cranberry filling and never looked back.

Brussels Sprouts, Apple and Halloumi Salad
I know it’s unusual to post a salad recipe at this time of year. Normally I’m sharing recipes for comfort dinners or cake but for some reason I’ve been eating a lot of fresh light meals lately. That’s not a bad thing, there has been plenty of indulgent food on my table too!
Chorizo Potato Cakes
