Christmas. You’ve been round to all of your friends drinks parties, you’ve held yours, and then the family descend on you for the big day itself. Turn the heating up to nursing home level, move the entire contents of the supermarket shelves into your pantry, let the spirits flow like water, and snooze in front of the TV. But we love it.
Most of us enjoy a cooking good Christmas – but there’s lots of things that can make it easier. After over 3 years of food blogging I thought it would be a good time for a blog event:
SHARE YOUR CHRISTMAS COOKING TIPS
Yes - share your Christmas cooking tips so everyone else can save time on their Christmas cooking too, and have a stress free Christmas lunch!
What do I do if I want to join in?
If you have a blog post your Christmas cooking tip on your blog, or re-post an old one from your archive and include a link to this post by Sunday 13 December (this started on 1 December - hence the 12 days of Christmas cooking tips). We will post all tips received on Monday 14 December and link to your blog, facebook or twitter page so everyone has 10 days to read it before they start on their Christmas meal preparations.
You don’t even have to keep a food blog to enter you can:
1 – Use Twitter: Tweet your tip to @Cotswoldfood (yes you can get it into 140 characters)
2 – Leave us a comment on our Face book page here.
3 – Email you entry to: Foodtips@bensonofbroadway.co.uk with:
I am based in Tewkesbury on the edge of the Cotswolds – so it would be great to see as many local Christmas cooking tips as possible – if you’re in Gloucestershire or Worcestershire let me know on your entry!
I will collect all the names of the entries with a GL or WR postcode and draw 3 at random on the 14th December to win a box of our frangipane and almond mince pies delivered to their door.
This is my entry on The Cotswold Food Year – a tip from my archives, but as it is one of the Christmas cooking tips that could save a life this Christmas I thought it good to pass on! What's your tip?
