L'Amuse Christmas News 2022

Wishing you all a very wonderful start to the festive season. It may be cold outside... but L'Amuse Chez Kate always offers a warm welcome. This newsletter provides an update regarding my courses as well as a delicious recipe and some ideas to make cooking more fun.

I LOVE hosting cookery courses from our cottage in Gower and have done over 100! I have now introduced a ‘Five Course’ taster menu cookery course for 2023. As always this will be interactive - involving guests with preparation and cooking. This will be delivered as always sat around my kitchen island in readiness for the main event later in the day. The Five Course taster menu will be served in the dining room overlooking the sublime Three Cliffs Bay. This introduces a more bespoke experience without losing the rustic charm that L’Amuse has to offer. Individual tasters from canapés to deserts, an Amuse bouche which is always a favourite as well as fresh bread and an array of wonderful main courses with all locally sourced ingredients. Freshly pressed juice, coffee and petit fours as well as a cheeky glass of Clive’s favourite wine - you'll leave feeling educated as well as entertained!

Christmas bread

500 g white bread flour
1 sachet dried yeast
30 ml olive oil
1 tbls dried cranberries
1 teasp dried thyme
2 teasp cinnamon
1 ½ teasp salt
2 teasp sugar
About 300 ml warm water

To finish: beaten egg, sesame and poppy seeds

Put the flour, salt and yeast and sugar and oil into the bowl of the mixer.
Add the thyme and cranberries.
Mix to a soft dough with the warm water.
Mix for a 3 or 4 minutes.
Divide the dough into 2 and divide each piece into 8 blobs.
Form them into the desired shape and place on a baking sheet and leave to prove for about 1 hour.
Top with a little beaten egg, and sprinkle with seeds.
Cook in a hot oven – 210 degrees, for about 10 minutes until the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

I always like to share some news about any new gadgets and tools I use in the kitchen - and this year, I invested in Helga - the wonderful Thermomix which has brought no end of new recipes into my kitchen. If you'd like a demo - please get in touch info@lamusechezkate.com. They are currently on only 3 days delivery - so could be another great gift this Christmas!

We are blessed to have such high-quality local businesses on our doorstep whether it be Tucker's Butchers, Coakley's Fish Mongers in Mumbles, Shepherd’s Gower for fresh eggs and more and of course locally grown fruit, vegetables and herbs when available. As always, I will be sharing the discount voucher for the wonderful Peppercorn in Llandeilo... an Aladdin’s Cave for the passionate cook. I never leave empty handed and the service is second to none.

I cannot wait to meet you again in the New Year and know you will love the new experience. I’m so looking forward to meeting your friends, family and work colleagues if the gift of a course is something that you have wrapped up for that special someone in 2023. Thank you again for supporting a local business. We remain family run as L’Amuse is very much who we are. We are passionate about cooking - and whilst we love the eating part, we thoroughly enjoy entertaining! We also love sharing that passion with you.

See you next year! www.lamusechezkate.com
