Creating Cozy Christmas Memories & Baking Grandma's Christmas Cake in our English Cottage Kitchen

Welcome to another super cozy video from our English cottage kitchen!
Did someone say Christmas? Well this cozy Christmas vlog will have you feeling festive!

If you're like me - then you too will love a simple Christmas. I love to do wholesome family oriented activities, and focus on what we do together at this wonderful time of year. Focus is on the true meaning of Christmas and a look back at the Christmases of Yesteryear. I feel the need to hide from the crazy commercialism that's hits us from all directions. This is not what it's all about!

In this video, I try out a simple Christmas cake from an old recipe book from 1939. It is full of grandmothers' recipes from 100s of years, that have kept in their family and survived until the 1940s at least, I'd like to think I'm doing my but at attempting as many recipes as possible over the coming months, to keep them alive and pass them on to others.

I hope your Christmas preparations for 2021 run smoothly, and you don't find yourself running about too much. Just remember - slow down to your own pace and I hope you make it super cozy!
