HEALTHY, DELICIOUS FOODS FOR your festive menu LUTHO PASIYA
GAZPACHO
A cold soup that is utterly delicious and a definite on any menu because we are blessed to have summer and Christmas at the same time in South Africa. It features local, organic and heirloom ingredients that pack a nutritional punch that is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and allowed on most diets.
PLATTERS
Platters get people comfortable and set the festive tone, think local cheeses; home-made preserves (strawberry and basil preserve,
candied ginger); cold cuts of organic, smoked chicken; smoky gammon; moist slices of biltong and fresh, seasonal fruits.
CENTERPIECE DESSERT
You cannot celebrate Christmas or anything else without dessert. Again, because it is summer, I say, let’s make a frozen yoghurt ‘cake’. Slightly soften some high-quality frozen yoghurt (or make your own), mix in nuts and berries, re-set in a cake mould and top with white chocolate ganache and party sparklers.
