In it you will find recipes for various cakes, cookies, sweet yeast dough stuffed with dried fruit, winter drinks and much more. But if you take a closer look, you will see this booklet is woven of a lot of love, effort and desire. When we thought about it, we didn’t know what it would look like, what recipes it would contain, or how much it would eventually bring us closer as a friends. We just knew we shared the same love for delicious sweet recipes and wanted to give them to you. We have joined forces and created these pages, for you. We spent many hours talking about recipes, exchanging hundreds of messages and emails, just as much time spent in the kitchen and behind the camera. And finally, with great pleasure we can say that our Christmas present is over. We give you this cookbook as a hope that you will find a handful of interesting recipes and ideas for your holiday table. We wish you to spend the most beautiful holidays with the Sweet Christmas Cookbook, to serve you for a long time and to create some beautiful memories with it. We would like to thank Bosch Croatia who recognized our idea and supported us in the realization. Thank you. Merry Christmas! Yours, Irena, Mihaela & Nina CONTENT 03 christmas cake 05 buche de noel 07 cranberry orange cake 09 caramelized walnut roll cake 12 rum bundt cake 14 meringue roll cake 15 hazelnut

  • Baker's Dozen Guide
    Facilitator Guide 1 Get ready! As the game facilitator, you have 5 easy tasks to get the most out of your game. You can play the game too, but keep in mind, this may expose you to hints as you give them to other players. 1. Reserve a space to play and decide on teams beforehand. 2. Set up the game materials. 3. Start the game. 4. Be the hint master. 5. Lead the post-game discussion. 2 Reserve a place to play the game. This game can be played in one large room or in multiple smaller rooms with table space for each team. Just make sure each team has a laptop with internet or a cell phone so they can access the game site to enter their final answer. If you’re playing with all of your teams in one large room, seperate teams as much as possible to avoid eavesdropping. Split teams into 3-5 members each. Ideally, each team will have 5 people. We recommend splitting up friends, office teams, or departments so people can work with others they don’t interact with day-to-day. Pro Tip: Assign the teams in advance so the game runs more smoothly right away. 3 Set up the game materials. Give each team one of the pink Baker’s Dozen boxes, some pens, and make sure each team can access the game site. Website link is below and is given in each box. When you're ready to start, set an 80 minute timer. If you don’t have access to the game site: At the end of 80 minutes, read the correct suspect and victim located at the back of this guide.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
