Art and cooking expert Tere of Tere and Colin gives us a sneak peek into their Christmas favourites, and shares her tips on how to make tasty churros with a festive twist.
Christmas smells like…
"So many smells it’s hard to choose one! As I love to cook, the smells are mostly those coming from yummy food I plan to eat and share. I am a big traditionalist and love to eat certain foods only at specific times of the year. Christmas is about being festive on a big scale, and spices are added generously to many recipes, so smells like cloves and allspice spring to mind. Also, the delicious fragrance of mulled wine filling the kitchen is so evocative of the festive season. I also think of candles burning, which I light during the festive period. The smell of burning wax on dark cosy winter nights is very comforting!"
This year I’m grateful for…
"My health and that I still have so much energy, optimism and positivity despite the difficult time we’ve had during the pandemic. I am very sociable and love human contact, so the lockdown was difficult, although I put my time to good use and always knew we would come through it. I am very happy to be back doing the things I love (in real life!), like meeting new people and looking forward to the future again. I am grateful to have so many wonderful friends and my long-term partner Colin to share my life with and continue to have exciting adventures! I always look at the solutions in life, not the problems. This attitude gives me hope and determination to always push ahead!"
