Jodi’s Foodie Favourites
- What’s your ultimate Christmas dinner must-have?
Yorkshires and red cabbage of course. - Mince pies: love them or leave them?
Always homemade – Yum! - Sweet or savoury: what’s your festive snack vibe?
I would have to say sweet overall because I love a celebration, but I am partial to a Savory snack as well. Maybe I am a mix of both. - What’s your go-to Christmas morning breakfast?
Scrambled eggs or pancakes! - Do you have a quirky food tradition in your family?
Our tradition is to try a new weird festive crisp flavour – I wonder what this years will be.
Festive Fun & Personality
- If you were a Christmas dish, what would you be and why?
I’d be a Christmas trifle – layered, colourful, and guaranteed to make people smile. A little bit fruity, a little bit nutty, and topped with something sweet! - What’s your top tipple for the season?
It must be a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. - What’s one Christmas treat that instantly takes you back to childhood?
Those little chocolates you hang on your Christmas tree. - What’s your dream Christmas party spread?
A crusty white loaf, salted butter and a gooey camembert. Delicious! - What’s your New Year’s food resolution – if any?
This year, I’m saying yes to seconds, trying recipes that scare me (hello soufflé!), and turning every meal into a mini celebration. Food is joy and I plan to eat like I mean it!
