Traditional Christmas Lunch with a twist

11 November 2011
 
Annabel Langbein is amazing.  Her recipes never cease to amaze.  A really good gift idea for anyone who loves cooking is her new book, Free Range in the City.   We’ve selected a traditional menu for Christmas lunch from her online recipe collection, including a fabulous turkey (barbequed of course!) and a truly awesome pavlova.  Nothing says Christmas like pavlova in this house!  I can’t wait to make her Feijoa Chutney too.  Our feijoa tree drops more fruit than we could ever eat our way through, so this year I’m going to make a stack load of this chutney and give it away to friends – a way to keep those feijoa flavours hitting the taste buds well past the last fruit falling!
