The Friday 5 #122
Last minute wine offers, this month’s cookbook giveaway, my ultimate Christmas cocktail and the best Christmas games
I can’t believe this is the last Friday 5 before Christmas. There’s literally so much to say I’m going to have to send you another post tomorrow.
Two things I thought would be particularly helpful: what to drink over Christmas if you’re not drinking and what bottle to take if you’re visiting family or friends. Which would be most helpful? (If I can I’ll cover both).
In the meantime here’s the lowdown on what wine offers are available this weekend. (Not as many as a week or so ago, to be honest. I think supermarkets rely on the fact we’re all a bit desperate by now.)
there’s another batch of Christmas recipes and hacks including a brilliant one I came across at a pre-Christmas lunch this week I can’t wait to recreate
a few thoughts on Christmas games on which I’m hoping to get your input
my favourite Christmas cocktail
and this month’s cookbook giveaway which is the utterly brilliant Sift, possibly the ultimate book on baking.
If you’re in full panic mode remember you can always buy a gift subscription to my Substack which will give the recipient loads of good ideas of what and where to drink, cook and eat in 2025. And/or a bundle of credits for my website matchingfoodandwine.com which will enable them to get wine pairings for all their favourite ingredients, dishes and drinks.
To make it (even) more tempting I’ve taken 25% off all annual subs until Christmas Eve (11.59pm UK time). Use this link below rather than the one underneath it. Don’t ask me why but otherwise you won’t get the discount
