The festive season brings some of the craziest behaviour you have ever seen. People flood the malls and it becomes the most claustrophobic experience having weird people bump into your shoulders or hit your with trolleys. People willingly go into debt to ensure that they get buy all the specials or get everyone gifts for Christmas. I’ll tell you what I do, I cook. I cross off my bucket list meals that I wanted to try throughout the year but I was too lazy to try or it just looked complicated. That’s how I got to perfect my beef wellington and seafood chowder. This year is no different.

My list of foods for this year have not become more difficult, I’m just working on pure cravings. In no specific order, here they are:

1. Baked Marula Cheesecake
2. Salmon Eggs Benedict (this one is making a repeat appearance)
3. Croissants
4. Rissoto

5. Hachis Parmentier

Of course I will be making other meals in between but by 9 January, when I go back to work, I would have at least liked to try these meals and people enjoy them!

If you also have great recipes for the above meals or anything else, please let me know.

Stay tuned to my blog to see how the meals turned out!
