Setting up and styling this Christmas themed food table for Mmabatho and her beautiful family’s housewarming finally got me in the Christmas spirit!
MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE ELEMENTS WERE:
- the delicious roasts which included chicken, deboned lamb and gammon! My mouth literally watered…
- the Peppermint Crisp tart (I only started making these this year, had I known how easy it was I would have started a long time ago!)
- the starter wreaths, one with marinated olives, bocconcini and cocktail tomatoes and the other with cocktail meatballs, pickled onions and gherkins, just like my grandmother used to make it!
- the Christmas cake truffles, how cute are those?
- and last, but not least, just the sheer privilege of preparing a Christmas inspired meal for a family celebrating a new home!
In addition to the starter wreaths we also served freshly baked baguette with a selection of spreads.
The roasts were accompanied by a rustic potato salad as well as a carrot and pineapple salad.
For dessert we served the Peppermint Crisp tart and the Christmas cake truffles as well as chocolate mousse.
The setup and styling of the beautiful seating was done by the lovely Rose and her team from Arose Events.
