“It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas”…. Woohoo my favourite time of the year!! I remember as a little girl, my folks would turn Christmas into the most magical time for us, my brother and I would always decorate the tree together, and then on Christmas Eve we would go to bed early bursting…
Inspired by the popular recipe for Nordic bread which is simply a combination of nuts, seeds, oil and eggs. Me being….well, ME…had to ramp the recipe up slightly as usual! When we lived in Cape Town there was a cute little Spar supermarket around the corner from us, they made the most delicious seeded loaf…
