Seasonal Food and Flora
Here are some of our favourite seasonal recipes.
Red Currant Cream Cheese Tea Sandwiches
Boston Brown bread is the traditional accompaniment to baked beans, but it's equally delicious with smoked salmon or tangy cream cheese. We've made Valentine's Day Tea sandwiches with heart cut-outs featuring red-currant flavoured cream cheese. ...
Rosemary Spiced Bourbon Old-Fashioned
Enjoy this spicy twist on one of the most venerable drinks in the cocktail kingdom. Homemade rosemary spiced simple syrup replaces the traditional sugar cube, and when combined with toe-warming bourbon, citrus juices, and a dash of orange bitters, you have the perfect...
Classic Sticky Gingerbread
Moist and spicy, this toothsome concoction is a wintertime delight. Enjoy it sitting by the fire with a hot cup of tea as we peruse the nature notes from the month of January by Edith Holden, better known as the Edwardian Lady of Country Diary fame. ...
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Remember when muffins were breakfast food? Before they began their Incredible Hulk transformation into a disguised cupcake? These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are old-fashioned, moderately sized and not-too-sweet. No icing. They also contain Greek yoghurt, so they have a...
Winter Sidecar
As promised in the Dreamy Wedgwood Style Fruitcake, here is the recipe for a Winter Sidecar, courtesy of Craft Cocktails by Geoff Dillon and Whitney Rorison of Dillon's Small Batch Distillers. Dillon's is in the nearby Niagara region and has captivated Glenn's...
Gruyere-Stuffed Crusty Bread
Can anything be more tempting than the aroma of fresh crusty bread? You bet! Add some tantalizingly melted cheese to a spiral mini-loaf and serve it still warm, with a bowl of steaming soup, such as Paris Bistro, Tomato with Dill or Broccoli with Mustard Seeds. ...

Entertablement Abroad – Burford & Chipping Campden
Let's do a little armchair travelling to the beautiful Cotswold villages of Burford and Chipping Campden. Like many people, we have postponed our overseas trips for now; I'll use the found time to catch up on photos of past trips and let the world gradually come to...
Entertablement Abroad: What’s With the English Cathedrals?
Friends and followers of Entertablement have asked me about my fascination with English cathedrals. It's an odd focus, I readily concede, and until very recently, I struggled to articulate a satisfactory answer. Upon reading the marvellous book, England's...
Entertablement Abroad – Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford
Good morning and Happy Groundhog Day! Today we are picking up in Oxford and as it's also a Sunday, in place of attending a church service, we will visit Christ Church Cathedral. Lovely spring flowers greet us at the entrance. Christ Church is a joint...
Entertablement Abroad – Christ Church College, Oxford
There are few places to rival the beauty of southern England, especially on a sunny day. We had visited Oxford a number of times, but for whatever reason, we had never seen Christ Church Cathedral and it was on my list to photograph. (I've now done 34 of the 42...
Entertablement Abroad – Harewood House Part II
Good day, everyone, and welcome to Harewood House Part II. Sorry for the delay in providing the sequel to Harewood House Part I. Travel and the holiday season got the better of me in the intervening period, but I'm determined to tie off as many loose ends as I can...
Entertablement Abroad: A Travel Taste Test
Greetings, dear readers! We are once again under our own roof and happily in reach of wireless services. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes on our journey. My trepidation about the cruise proved groundless; no seasickness at all. It was smooth sailing al the...
