The last month of the calendar year is looked forward to with much joyful anticipation. No matter what the culture, religious leanings or race, December is a month which is enveloped in festive cheer.


The fact that it happens to be “treat season” is something every home takes advantage of. Ovens come alive with the aromas of warm, woody spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Dried fruit, nuts and seasonal fruit are dunked in syrup, mixed into batter and added as a garnish.

January is the month of new beginnings, also a time to take advantage of the crisp cold weather. So we most certainly think that the celebration of winter produce, spiced warm frothy drinks and decadent gooey deliciousness need to continue.

The coffee adds a slight edge to the flavour, the tea entices with the added flavours of cardamom and rose. The hot chocolate sits proud and frothy with a topping of whipped cream, marshmallows and a stick of curled cinnamon. A home made sponge cake with all these flavours adds to the warmth of a table, inviting loved ones to pay a visit. This cake can be flavoured with either coffee, tea or cocoa.
