ReplyDeleteCongratulations on publication day!
ReplyDeleteEvery year Mum and I go to Bury St Edmund's Christmas market, and we always go to this little stall which makes tiny dutch pancakes. We go just as the afternoon light turns to twilight, and watch the men turn the fat little pancakes over deftly with a fork with only one tine. We share a plate of them dusted with icing sugar and drizzled with maple syrup. It is usually chilly by then and we are tired, and these hot little mouthfuls of sweetness are just what we need.
What a lovely giveaway. Love all things Christmassy but my favourite has got to be mince pies 😋
ReplyDeleteA good old mince pie. Hot or cold. Blob of cream or unaccompanied. With a brew or with bubbles. Homemade or shop bought. As long as they’re plentiful. Perfect Christmas treat xx

ReplyDeleteThank you for this Heidi, I’ve got my fingers crossed, which makes it difficult to type. 😂 My favourite foods at Christmas are those sweet or naughty things that I don’t have at any other time of the year, especially Mon Cheri cherry liqueurs, a big bag of salted peanuts and stollen (or anything with marzipan), delicious! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
ReplyDeleteChristmas foods.. Mmmm.. So many yummy things that don't just taste great but can fill the house with their delicious aroma but my favourite Christmas snack isn't any of them it's cheesy footballs. As far back as I can remember we always had them at Christmas. As a mum now myself they are now part of my children's Christmas essentials snacks. When out shopping if I spot them I can't help but smile.
ReplyDeleteSlow roasted muntjak for dinner, an invasive pest which needs controlling.
ReplyDeleteMince pies slightly warm with some cream are my fave 😋😋
ReplyDeleteMy sister's Yorkshire puddings, Christmas wouldn't be the same without them 😍🎄 x

ReplyDeleteChristmas yule log. With the thick creamy centre, and the peaked icing on top. Accompanied with a nice dollop of ice cream. Yum!

ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas food is Christmas cake with marzipan and thick icing, it’s the best! I love Christmas! X
ReplyDeleteChestnuts. When I was little we would roast them on the open fire. The taste takes me back there.
ReplyDeleteMince pies with lashings of cream Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThere isn’t anything about Festive food not to love and the list is endless but.... Think I would never cope without a Turkey sandwich 🥪🎄
ReplyDeleteOh, there’s so many! I am partial to a salted caramel mince pie(warm) with cream. Washed down with a nice mulled wine.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many amazing festive foods but of I had to pick one it would be marzipan :)
ReplyDeleteI think cheese and crackers but Boursin garlic cheese (I thought Boursin was spelt a lot fancier than it is ����). I know this isn’t really Christmas festive food but for me it’s the only time I eat it, my family get a pack of Boursin just for me since I put so much on the cracker �� but I love making homemade mincemeat for making mince pies for presents.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s your favourite festive food Heidi? Xx
My favourites are cookies and milk on christmas eve with my hubby and some festive movies. Then after we have demolished christmas dinner and have days of leftovers, I make the moist maker that Ross from Friends talks about - A turkey sandwich with a slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle... it's actually delicious����
ReplyDeleteMy favourite festive snack is a gingerbread man, washed down with a Black Forest got chocolate!

ReplyDeleteWow - mince pies are really coming out on top! I'm partial to a box of Ferrero Roche at Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteIt has got to be a mince pie! Although once I buy that first pack it's a slippery slope for the calorie intake!!! Fabulous giveaway 💕
ReplyDeleteHello Heidi! What a lovely competition! I've got my fingers crossed! I think my favourite winter treat is making gingerbread and hot cocoa with my three year old daughter. Obviously, gingerbread is a winner in its own right 🤤 but making it with my little girl makes it even more magical. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love anything but mince pies always come to mind! There’s a also a load of bread they sell in Sainsburys which has cranberry and pumpkin seeds in it and it always reminds me of Christmas 😍 (Hannah - wrotewithcoffee)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely pigs in blankets 😊 Christmas isn’t Christmas without them
ReplyDeleteStollen ❤

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Christmas and everything about it, but my favourite festive snack would have to be Christmas Cake (washed down with a glass of Baileys)
ReplyDeleteChocolate log 😋
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of mixing the ingredients together to make the Christmas Puddings. Getting the grandchildren to come round and have a stir and make their wish. Then of course setting them on fire Christmas 🎄 Day and eating it.
ReplyDeleteGot to be shortbread!
ReplyDeleteI mean, there are so many lovely foods from homemade Christmas cake, mince pies to the yummy turkey buns on Boxing Day!! But mine has to be The big turkey dinner on Christmas Day !! I dream about it all year 😍 I can’t wait to tuck into it this year xxx
ReplyDeleteChristmas cake. I make one every year with my husband and now with my 7year old son. We mix it all together and cast our winter wishes. Made with love and it tastes delicious.
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi, a lovely thoughtful give away, I adore your books and always look forward to the release dates.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite snack has to be chocolate and gingerbread men, a good cuppa with the gingerbread. Xx
It's the #swooningswainette here!
ReplyDeleteThose book marks are making me properly giddy with excitement.
Favourite Christmas food now is Christmas cake with some strong cheddar. The two flavours are fantastic together. Oh, and nothing says Christmas quite like a Terry's chocolate orange.
When my mum was alive, it used to be her mince pies that were my favourite Christmas food. No one has ever made a mince pie quite as good as my mum (I am biased of course).
I miss the warmth and smell of baking mince pies when I walked into her kitchen and seeing her hot and bothered and bustling around with flour all down the front of her apron.
My favourite is Christmas pudding with lashings of brandy cream 😋😋 CookingTheBooks @kayleighw851
ReplyDeleteKayleigh Louise Brown

ReplyDeleteIts got to be a mint hot chocolate with a shortbread biscuit. The perfect Christmas treat
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe its the most wonderful time of the year again 🎄❤️ My husband and I are planning to go home to the Philippines to celebrate Christmas with our parents but it's not happening due to the current pandemic.
ReplyDeleteWe will surely miss the Christmas festivities that we grew up with which makes this season so special. One of this is the Filipino dawn mass (a nine days series of mass until the dawn of Christmas).
Every after mass, there are many stalls and sellers of steamed rice cakes (bibingka and puto bumbong in our language) outside the church. My granny and parents will buy several of it, still steaming hot, wrapped in banana leaf, and hurry home with us, the children. It would be served by my mum with freshly brewed coffee for the adults and hot chocolate for us with lovely Christmas song at the background. It was such a warm tradition which I always look forward to ever since I was a child which makes steamed rice cakes as my favorite festive food.
Thank you Heidi for the opportunity to relieve and share this wonderful memories and have a Merriest Christmas to you, your family and to all of your subscribers.

Tough decision I love mince pies at Christmas, but I love Stollen just as much as I am crazy about Marzipan. ��
ReplyDeleteCheesey footballs but you almost never see them !😢😢
ReplyDeleteTwiglets, mini cheddars but where have all the cheesey footballs gone 🐿

ReplyDeleteHi Heidi, I am so excited for this festive read! My favourite festive snack is mince pies washed down with a Baileys hot chocolate! Merry Christmas 🎄!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite festive food is Christmas dinner and trifle washed down with thick creamy hit chocolate 😋😋 xx
ReplyDeleteIt has to be mince pies, warm with Cumberland rum butter placed under the lid. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteThat’s such a hard one! Bread Sauce has to be on the list of favs. Literally only have it at Xmas time. Chocolate truffles are also a Christmas staple, especially homemade. But Christmas Dinner itself has to be a sign bet. It’s like no other roast at no other time of year. All the little extras making it special, surrounded by family and friends. Another smashing book from you to read as the nights draw in. Love cuddling up by the fire with a Swain Xmas novel in my hand. Great Competition x
ReplyDeleteHas to be the roast dinner with gravy and roasters and turkey. Although my mam used to make a fry up out of this world on Boxing Day
ReplyDeleteA difficult one I love Christmas lunch with all the trimmings, but also my homemade mince pies are always a winner with everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite festive food is, without any hesitation, a mince pie (or two), with the latest Heidi Swain festive read on the side. Can’t wait to read this one with a mince pie (s), of course!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite festive snack is definitely Pigs In Blanket flavour crisps :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite festive snack is a chocolate biscuit selection box. You just can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI love mince pies and always have my first one on 1st December while putting the tree up x

ReplyDeleteI have to say I adore christmas pudding ! either hot or cut up cold in ice cream, its one indulgance i cannot do without !
ReplyDeleteDefinitely home made mince pie with an indulgent hot chocolate with lots of Christmas spices added.
ReplyDeleteI love a decadent cheese board with pickles, chutneys and crackers. Yum yum
ReplyDeleteChampagne and Brazil nuts 🍾
ReplyDeleteMy favourite has to be christmas pud with double cream 🎅🎅
ReplyDeleteOooh this is such a tough one as I love a mincemeat pie (has to be shortcrust though - a puff one won't do). But in the interests of keeping in my mum-in-laws's good books, I'll say her boozy Christmas cake. She feeds it with brandy for months!😋
ReplyDeleteIt has to be satsumas! Weird but true. Seasonal ones taste so much better somehow...
ReplyDeleteIt has to be Christmas Cake with a chunk of Stilton on the side to help combat the sweetness
ReplyDeleteOnly one festive treat?
ReplyDeleteNot five gold wrapped chocolates,
four mince pies calling,
three satsumas peeling,
two turkey dinners,
and a huge Christmas pudding!
Has to be ... Christmas pudding!
I'm still using the 7 Cup Christmas pudding recipe from the Glasgow cookbook that my mother-in-law gave me 24 years ago, now my daughters make if for us though, it's a family event.
Thanks, it's been lovely to think of something so cheerful to look forward to. Would love to read your book and get right into the seasonal mood.
My favourite Christmas food is definitely mince pies, problem is that I eat so many leading up to Cgristmas that come Christmas Day I really cannot stand the sight of them 😂
ReplyDeleteA homemade sausage roll or all the cheese and biscuits!
ReplyDeleteA homemade sausage roll or all the cheese and biscuits!
ReplyDeleteMine is a ferrero roche...I know that they are available all year round but we only ever treat ourselves to them at Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite treat at Christmas is the Turkey Toast for breakfast on Boxing day and beyond. Hot buttered toast with slices of cold white turkey meat between them. Plenty other things I associate with Christmas Chocolate Orange, After Eights, Chipolatas with the roast...but Turkey toast is my favourite :-) Rx
ReplyDeleteAw wow, such an AMAZING give away ���� i have to say my absolute favourite crimbo snack have to be M&S Shortbread Biscuits!!!
