Joyeux Noël. Christmas cards are a pain to come up with...

SHOP #8  LE FOLIE DU PAIN


A bit last minute, but I thought it would be fun to use this really festive bread shop as a card.


My wife and I were thinking along the lines of The Folie and The Ivy, Christmas shopping being a pain etc... Then I thought of my very favourite part of the Christmas food galaxy; the perfect accompaniment to turkey... et voila.


Always make your bread sauce the night before (sit up at the back), or, at least put an onion (studded with cloves) in some milk with a bay leaf, and bring to the boil. Then turn the heat off.  So on Christmas morning, get rid of the onion and chuck in your (freshly grated) white breadcrumbs and bring back slowly to the boil... Then add some double cream and a cloud of pepper. I think nutmeg might make an appearance, but anyway, my brother, who is a great cook, likes to blend half the onion and add to the mixture. It's nice. I've got to go. I'm hungry!
