Christmas- and New Year’s Specials: Goodies from the Archives

Christmas is fast approaching, as is New Year’s Eve! Hope you’re not feeling too cold for frozen desserts? Good – after all, every season is a season for ice cream, right? 

Christmas … classic Scandinavian style.
The iconic picture is by John Bauer, one of my favourite painters when it comes to fairies and goblins 😉

Avid readers know about my ever-present temptation to conjure up yet another version of Gingerbread ice cream at this time of the year (I am working on a new one). However, in the interest of timely delivery, I decided to follow another tradition for now and dig into the Archives. 

So, from me to you – a few of my well tried and tested favourite Seasonal recipes!  Enjoy, and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

 Ps. Just click on the pictures, and you will come to the recipes!
