„Veggie, December 2016” – tutvustus

December is by far my favourite month of the year. The excitement of retrieving cherished decorations to adorn the tree or the joy of wrapping thoughtful gifts whilst listening to festive Carols are some of this magical season’s most defining moments – we’ve got some fabulous sustainable ideas for a greener Christmas on p 96.
This year, there’s a real buzz in my household about what new twists on the Christmas Classics we’ll be serving up for the family, and we needn’t look any further than this bumper issue of Veggie! Forget about the nut roast this December, we’re talking Antonio Carluccio’s Mushroom Strudel, Niomi Smart’s Leek and Celeriac Pie and Gizzi Erskine’s Shredded Sprout Salads. If you can still squeeze in some Christmas pud we’ve got an array of show-Stopping Sweets p 60 that will wow any guests coming to stay.
And, if you’re like me and have left your Christmas shopping until the last minute, check out our ethical gift guide on p 23.
Merry Christmas!
