Sorry for the slight delay but the first Winter Four Seasons Food is now open! I am delighted to be back hosting this months festive challenge. Louisa has brilliantly been holding the reigns for the last two months to give me a break. The round up for the November challenge can be found here.

But I am really excited to be holding the fort for Christmas. It’s a busy time of year and I know it can be hard to set aside time for blogging but I definitely know that you will be doing lots of cooking and eating!

So, the theme for this month is PARTY FOOD! Anything from canapés, cakes, buffet dishes, foodie gifts, or even the main event itself. And I am delighted to announce a very special prize for this months winning entry from the superb Hotel Chocolat. I have a Christmas Selection box to give away, packed full of their finest Christmas chocolates, a true treat to gorge on! These are some seriously good, indulgent chocolates, perfect for sharing (or not!).

So the usual rules apply. Have a read below and get cooking! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
