“Christmas Classics & Festive
Feasts”
New Recipes from The Vegetarian Society
The Vegetarian Society is offering free use of new recipes from international
chef, Chico Francesco, and award-winning cookery writer Rose Elliot MBE,
in Christmas cookery features.
Rose has created a stunning celebration centrepiece that is sure to
be a hit with the whole family and that vegetarians will want to enjoy
year after year.
Chico’s recipes, inspired by festive dishes from all over Europe,
include:
Christmas
Eve Pumpkin Ravioli traditionally served in Italy’s
Mantua region,
Iman Biyaldi, a Turkish dish so divine the priest fainted with delight,
Brie and Wild Mushroom Fondue (served with all the kissing traditions
of this classic Swiss party dish), Chestnut Velouté, a rich, seasonal
indulgence with its roots in Lyon and not forgetting sugar and spice
in the form of Gluhwein and Lebkuchen, treats usually enjoyed at Germany’s
Christmas markets but equally delicious shared with guests around the
Christmas tree at home.
Readers will also enjoy an extra special recipe for Chanukah
Courgette Latkes with cream cheese and beetroot and a sensational take on a Russian
classic, Wild Mushroom Stroganoff with Herb Crumb Topping.
All the recipes
are accompanied by stunning contemporary photography, and will feature
in a free consumer
recipe booklet called ‘Christmas
Classics & Festive Feasts.”
Some of the recipes
will also be taught as part of Chico Francesco’s ‘European
Festive Feasts’ weekend workshop at the Cordon Vert School in Altrincham.
The workshop takes place from Friday 10th – Sunday 12th December.
