Christmas Aga

Christmas came to Treetops on Friday with Sarah and her Christmas Aga Class.

Sarah made some delicious dishes and helped everyone plan what could be made ahead of time and frozen, how to juggle the ovens on the day, how to retain the heat of the Aga.  It was great, plenty of tips and questions going around the room.

The house smelt very festive thanks to my gorgeous new

candle from Neom

mixed with the smells of red cabbage, rich gravy, bacon, stilton, walnut and pear tart, roast turkey, freshly baked bread, the rum (!) the brandy butter with orange zest, and loads more, it was a really wonderful spread!

Sarah returns on Friday 1 February for Winter Warmers.

Aga Class - Effortless Entertaining

Sarah Whitaker was here this morning for a popular class titled "Effortless Entertaining".

Sarah's demonstration covers how to use the Aga whilst creating delicious food as she shows us around the Aga, showing us exactly how to roast, simmer, bake etc.

Above is a delicious mushroom risotto with parmesan, no more standing by the oven stirring, pouring in stock, stirring etc, in "Aga-Land", it all gets measured and then popped inside the Aga.

These are roasted carrots withs smoked paprika, a great combination.

We also had a leg of lamb with a delicious creamy sauce, a stilton cheesecake that can be used as a starter, pesto bread and a gorgeous velvety chestnut and sweet potato soup. 

One of the puddings today was a pecan and ginger tart, it smelt amazing.

Sarah always brings her travelling shop, with lots of useful kitchen and Aga goodies, as well as her recipe books.

In two weeks time, her new book will be published:
