With so few sleeps left now until Christmas you probably have your menu all sorted and preparations well under way and are unlikely to need any help from me. However if you are still stuck for an idea or two, I've been busy behind the scenes creating a small Christmas magazine issue with 12 of my favourite festive recipes from 12 different countries.

Click here or on the cover below to view the magazine in all it's glory.

Just a note: unlike many of the online magazines available, you do not require flash, or need to zoom in / zoom out... to view my magazine. It's easy to view and navigate on all devices, iPads and mobile phones by clicking on the arrows at the side or the thumbnails below to turn the page.

I am and have been so blessed to have my favourite guy in the whole wide world, my J, continually revise and modify the code for me. Each new issue I believe it gets better and better.

I hope you enjoy it whether the recipes inspire you, the images delight you or my somewhat controversial Christmas message excites you.


Finally before I let you go, remember I'm hosting "Sweet New Zealand" this month. You can view the entries I've received so far here, some more fabulous Christmas ideas to be found there. Also if you're a Kiwi in New Zealand, or elsewhere and you happen to indulge in something Sweet between now and New Years - I know it's fairly unlikely! But if you do happen to and you take a photo... send it through and I'll add it to the roundup too.

If I don't speak to you again before Sunday... Have a good one!

Cheers
