Get your tastebuds ready for Christmas!

"Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold."

Think back - wayyyy back for some of us - and you can almost hear the snowman narrator in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer singing.

The words, of course, mean more than just the object of Yukon Cornelius' desire (yes, we watch a lot of Christmas specials at our house). They also refer to dear friends both new (silver) and old (gold).

My Christmas catering menu this year features many silver and gold dishes. Traditional favourites, classics with a twist, and more modern yuletide treats. For example:

Star-shaped parmesan shortbread with goat's cheese and sweet onion chutney

Baked brie en croute with cranberries

Devil's on horseback (bacon wrapped figs with stilton)

Crab and celery remoulade

Pumpkin, red onion and spinach salad

Orange, pistachio and sage turkey breast

Old fashioned pecan pie

In the Christmas spirit yet? Just book Food Fusions for your Christmas party, meeting or event (big or small, corporate or personal) - and all this could be finding its way to your plate and palate very soon!
