Tablescapes
Here we feature our favourite seasonal tablescapes.
Eric + Eloise, Bespectacled Animals
Unusual colours, an odd number of plates—five—snowy scenes and animals wearing spectacles. Ok, not your usual Christmas tableware. But somehow, it all comes together for a joyously zany table. Please meet Eric (or Eloise). I'm not sure which is which. As described on...
Inslee Fariss’ 12 Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... ... A Patridge in a Pear Tree. Thank you, Anthropologie, for a new and somewhat whacky twist on an old favourite. These particular plates are from a couple of years ago. Anthropologie has a new set by Nathalie...
Wexford Dogs by 222 Fifth
Wexford is a lovely red tartan pattern by 222 Fifth, and their Christmas Dogs rendition is a charming addition. We had our Full Family Christmas dinner yesterday, which included all four kids, their spouses and offspring, so it was a full house. Nine adults at the...
Christmas Kitties by David Carter Brown
Cats and Christmas. Tangling ribbons, batting ornaments, snarling garland. Our cats greet the holiday season with a gleam in their eye. "Oh, Mum and Dad are bringing out the playground again!" David Carter Brown captures the essence of a cat's attitude to Christmas...
Wedgwood Florentine Green and Red Paisley
I hosted a dinner for work colleagues earlier this week. I knew I was going to be short on time, as my business partner, Gordon and I were doing an afternoon presentation and would be getting back to the house late in the day. So I needed a menu that could be...
Christmas Has Gone To The Dogs
I got into kind of a rut decorating the outside of the house over the last few years. This year, I was dragging my feet while considering the usual garlands, urns and window box fillers from our local nursery. They're lovely, festive and somewhat...

Seasonal Food and Flora
Here are some of our favourite seasonal recipes.
White Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cheesecake
What could be more suitable for the holidays than a creamy, rich cheesecake with a crisp gingersnap crust and a tangy cranberry orange filling? The white chocolate ganache topping is garnished with sugared cranberries and white chocolate chips. Not only festive, but...
Winter Vegetable Chili
The weeks leading up to Christmas are fraught with opportunities for overindulgence. This vegetable-packed chili is a healthful antidote to a surfeit of sweets. Our family loves it, even the die-hard meat eaters and small children. It's warmly spiced, without being...
Gingerbread Village Spice Cake
When I was little, a crisp, spicy gingerbread cookie adorned with crunchy icing was the tantalizing reward to encourage exemplary behaviour while Christmas shopping with my Mum. Trailing around after her, scarf dragging and winter boots clumping, my thoughts would run...
Lancashire Beef Hot Pot
This hearty one-pot stew is traditionally made with lamb, but is every bit as good with beef. The layer of potatoes forms a delicious crisp crust atop a mixture of beef, carrots and onions in a silky thick gravy. Just the ticket for cold nights. Serve with a side of...
Penicillin
On our recent trip to Edinburgh, we decided to walk the 20 minutes to The Castle Terrace for dinner. It was a fine, warm evening when we set out. Typical of Scotland, however, the heavens opened before we were halfway there. We found cover in a bus shelter...
Arugula, Fennel & Apple Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts
Orange and lemon add a tangy note to peppery arugula, while thin slices of fennel, chunks of apple and chopped hazelnuts provide a nice crunch.
