Easy elderflower cordial
Elderflowers are one of the easiest ingredients to forage and you need no special skills.
When we think of festive food, we tend to think of our favourite treats, whether it’s the seemingly endless supply of foil-wrapped chocolates in the tin, the boozy, rich Christmas pud or a bottomless glass of good red! But not all traditional Christmas food is bad for your health and waistline.
Not just for decorating a traditional Christmas cake or baked into stollen, almond-based marzipan has a wonderfully festive flavour and can be homemade or shop-bought in both veggie and vegan versions. Use any leftovers to enhance other sweet treats, from chocolate chip cookies to breakfast croissants and homemade truffles that make great edible gifts too.
