| I want to buy a high end Christmas Hamper for my mother |
The week before Christmas
Finalize your shopping list and make a dedicated trip to the supermarket just to buy non-perishable items.Getting items like napkins, candles, toothpicks, and plastic cups and plates all sorted well in advance frees your mind to concentrate on the big ticket items like food and presentation.
Spend a morning making your chutneys, relishes, jams, chocolates and fudges so they can be resting and the flavours developing that lovely complexity.
It is also the time to get a few foodie friends around and put together you gingerbread house, mince pies, shortbread, biscotti, panettone, panforte and whatever other regional delicacies you include in your Christmas Celebration.
Especially in Australia, freeze ahead – one of the best things about most Christmas fare is that it can be made ahead of time and frozen – so on the day you can slowly release the frozen products and they can act as cooling agents around the kitchen.
Can I get this hamper locally at Officeworks or Myer - if the answer is yes, go and buy it locally. If you want gourmet and high end - hold my hand, we're going on a journey...
ReplyDeleteNice share,
DeleteBuying Christmas Gifts Online in Australia
ReplyDeleteI have started a new site called www.gifts4themissus.com.au which is for guys who need help buying gifts. It has deliberately narrow choices and means that you don't have to go into the hell that is a shopping centre! I would love for you to visit as I am just getting my feet.
