We don’t need much of an excuse for us to get in the kitchen…Andrews a proper little cook! (I’m not so great…more of a sous chef than head honcho! Good at the prep/tidying up and that sort of thing!) Anyway, we thought it might be quite nice to make a few bits and bobs to give as little Christmas pressies! So hopefully they would taste scrummy, and then I’d make then look fabulous too by making some cute little personalised labels, playing with lots of ribbon, and generally fluffing them up!

Andrews chef of choice is the lovely Jamie Oliver…he’s got abit of a man crush! (Its abit of a fight as to which order the loves of his life go in…I’d like to say I come top but to be honest I think it’s a toss up between Jamie O and Charlotte the letterpress!) So, we get this brilliant Jamie recipe food magazine, and from that were inspired to make some of the very yummy treats! I’ve popped the recipes of a couple down here so you can have a go.

We just got some plain old glass jars and then dressed them up with some easy labels I designed. We’ve printed them onto our gorgeous manilla paper, which I love, makes them feel all crafty and cute and lovely! I think they look pretty nifty, and if I was to get a pressie that looked as cute as that I’d be really chuffed! (OK, ill tell the truth, we made them and they are currently sat on the window-ledge in the kitchen…they look really cute all in a little row like they are, so it’ll be a toughie to give any of them away…I might just have to keep these ones to look pretty and get Andrew to cook up another storm for us to give as gifts!)
