Winter 09 Newletter
 

.

Welcome to the Winter edition of Club Gourmet Newsletter – our first fully on-line edition.


There’s no better time than Winter to be baking at home. So let’s have a look at baking some delicious puddings, muffins, friands and cakes, with the flavour and goodness of fruits and berries. Everyone loves the lingering aroma of something sweet baking in the oven. Treat your family to some casual, relaxed meals at home, rather than the hassle of dining out.

I hope you enjoy this tempting collection of my favourite baking recipes from the Creative Gourmet website. I’ve also included an easy recipe for Creamy Chicken & Ham Crepes using Creative Gourmet frozen French Style Crepes. It’s perfect for a warm casual lunch or dinner.


Hopefully you’ll click your way to some wonderful ideas on how to stay warm and cozy this Winter, with delicious fruits and berries from Creative Gourmet.


Happy cooking,
Annette
