Stollen Christmas Pudding

a whole christmas pudding on a plate; the pudding is light in colour, like stollen and is studded with fruit and marzipan. there is lots of icing sugar and toasted almonds

This Christmas pudding carries the fragrance of stollen spices – cardamom, mace, nutmeg – woven through soft dried fruits, zesty citrus, and golden marzipan pearls. A mellow, nostalgic centrepiece with a hint of continental warmth, it steams gently into being and slices like a storybook cake. Glazed in melted butter, it welcomes toasted almonds and a flutter of icing sugar.

Traditional Cottage Pie

This is the kind of cottage pie that holds the room steady — deeply savoury, topped with golden mash, and honest in its ingredients. Lentils, mushrooms, and millet form a grounding, flavour-rich base, balanced with slow-cooked aromatics and a quiet lick of Marmite. A modern take on tradition — built from scratch, layered with care.
