Quick & easy
Holiday Eggnog
Creamy and divine, this festive classic can be served in a punch bowl for easy entertaining. Or, serve drinks in individual small glasses and embellish with freshly grated nutmeg.
Choose what kind of rum to use
Rum is available in light, amber and dark varieties and the question of which to use is dependent upon personal tastes. Light rum will not colour the drink as much, but dark rum gives a richer taste.
Add nutmeg
Whether you use freshly grated nutmeg or the pre-ground variety, sprinkling a bit of this heady spice onto homemade eggnog adds Christmas flavour. If you choose fresh nutmeg, use a microplane to grate the spice right over the eggnog in the punch bowl.
Modern twist
Layered Turnip and Carrot Soup
Update your appetizers with this incredible layered soup, cleverly served in shot glasses. With a flavour profile that includes nutmeg, coconut and pernod, this dish will be one you want to serve at sit down dinner parties as well!
Serve soup as a creative appetizer
The dramatic impact of this beautiful soup makes it perfect for entertaining. To serve as an appetizer, layer small portions in clear shot glasses.
Use basil and nutmeg
If you can’t find purple basil, you can use sprigs of the green variety, or simply top your soups with a bit of freshly grated nutmeg.
