A faff ?


I agree with Mr Slater in yesterday's chapter headed "A better canapé" - making canapés is fiddly and a faff. However I do love eating them! 
One of today's recipes - Sunday December 8th - is Rarebit puffs
Little puff pastry parcels filled with a cheesy mixture. Made these for my daughters hen do, well worth the effort. As he said ".......they disappear before you can say rabbit". 
(Some of mine leaked their filling a bit but didn't spoil)
The second recipe was A cheesecake for Christmas.
This cheesecake  - an experiment by Mr Slater "..........to use mincemeat outside its short, traditional Yuletide window........" is well worth a go. 
Made this for a dinner party and it was a great success. Easy to make as long as you have plenty of time as it is an hour baking, an hour sitting in a switched off oven and then overnight in the fridge. 
When I am entertaining I'm a great fan of things which can be done in advance, so for me, a perfect dessert for entertaining. 
Served with lashings of cream and orange slices - divine.
