Christmas Cooking


Holiday cooking is in high gear, and it seems that everyone I know is planning, shopping, cutting, dicing, and most of all, baking. All of those mixers  are whirring with flour flying yielding an abundance of sweets to be shared.

My weekend produced some treats that are easy to store and pull out for expected or unexpected guests.
This Wine Bar Nut Mix, a combination of savory and slightly sweet, is delicious before or after dinner.





















































These dried figs stuffed with a rich ganache and enrobed in dark chocolate make a special treat.
