  • Bûche De Noël Pronounced: Boosh / Duh / Noh El
    Bûche de Noël Pronounced: boosh / duh / noh el From Debra F. Weber, frenchfood.about.com/cs/dessertcoffee/a/buchedenoel.htm?terms=buche+de+noel Classic French Christmas Dessert The origins of this most famous and delicious of French pastries can be traced back to the ancient Celtic tradition of celebrating the winter solstice. On this day, the shortest of the year, the Celts would search for a large trunk of either oak, beech, elm or cherry and would burn it. The burning log was a symbol of the rebirth of the sun as well as an offering of thanks to the sun for returning to the earth. This pagan tradition was not snuffed out by the Catholic church and during the middle ages the logs and the ceremony of the burning log became more elaborate. The logs themselves would be decorated with ribbons and greenery. Then the youngest and the oldest member of each family would carry the log to the hearth and set it ablaze. It would burn through the night and the ashes would be collected the next day to be used during the year. They were thought to help cure various sicknesses and protect the house from storms, lightening and the evil powers of the Devil. The tradition of actually burning the log began to disappear with the arrival of small stoves and the disappearance of large hearths. The big log was replaced by a smaller branch that was set in the middle of the table and surrounded by little "friandises" (sweets, delicacies) that were given as treats to guests.

  • Rich Christmas Cake
    RICH CHRISTMAS CAKE My traditional, rich Christmas cake has plenty of fruit. The more fruit there is in a cake, the longer it will keep, as the sugar in the fruit helps preserve it. When you’re beating together the butter and sugar, don’t overbeat, as this introduces too much air into the mixture. Once the cake is put into the hot oven, the air expands, and if you’ve overbeaten, the cake will rise too much and the fruit will fall down. For the cake, you will need: 225g (8oz) raisins 225g (8oz) sultanas 150g (5oz) glace cherries, chopped coarsely 110g (4oz) ready-soaked dried apricots, finely chopped 110g (4oz) mixed peel, chopped 25g (1oz) crystallised ginger, finely chopped ½ tin strawberries, drained (see note) Zest of ½ lemon and ½ orange, finely grated 3 tablespoons whisky 110g (4oz) blanched almonds, chopped 110g (4oz) ground almonds 250g (9oz) white flour, not self-raising ½ teaspoon each ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon and ground cloves 225g (8oz) butter, at room temperature 225g (8oz) brown sugar 4 large eggs, at room temperature Note: Drain the juice off the whole tin of strawberries and use half of the fruit that’s left — a very small amount. For the icing, you will need: 350g (12oz) ground almonds 225g (8oz) caster sugar 110g (4oz) icing sugar 1 large egg yolk, organic and free range 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1-2 tablespoons whisky ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence ¼ teaspoon almond essence Apricot jam, softened 1-2 packets of instant royal icing Christmas-cake decorations, to serve Use a round cake tin, 23cm (9in) in diameter, or a square, 20.5cm (8in) tin.

The commercial aspects of Christmas are what is celebrated. The Japanese decorate with lights, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus. The holiday is celebrated on the 24th and is an evening for couples, much like Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the US. Gifts are exchanged and children are excited to have Santa Claus bring them gifts. On December 25th, the Japanese go to work and the Christmas celebration is over.

Kate trained as a Sports Massage Practitioner working with Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists. Working with athletes’ means food and nutrition has always been a hot topic of conversation and she’s always had a passion for cooking and baking. It was actually one of Kates clients who was in despair over her child, who refused to eat any vegetables or even much fruit. “I made some chocolate brownies with spinach, spinach being such a nutrient dense vegetable. My challenge was to make the vegetable the biggest ingredient, after a lot of trial and error we came up with a winning recipe, and not only were they demolished by all children and parents, they were asking for more.” A few years later and after lots of pressure to bake more and more cakes, brownies and slices, Kate decided to give up working as a sports massage practitioner and work on her cake business full time. Kate can often be seen at prestigious food festivals or giving baking demonstrations at events. Blackberry Cottage has won numerous awards.
