Retro ideas for New Year – easy peasy too!


First up an absolute favourite and it has been a while since I mentioned it – Baked Camembert.

For ease of reference here's the recipe :

Baked Camembert

250g Camembert
1 clove garlic or garlic paste
olive oil

Bread of your choice

Pinch of sea salt
Bowl of chopped dried cranberries
Bowl of chopped mixed nuts


Preheat your oven 160f/180c/Gas 4. Leaving the Camembert in the box, score around the top about half cm in and cut off the top layer of skin. Slice the garlic clove and poke into the top of the cheese. Drizzle with a little olive oil then bake in the oven for 15 minutes – or until gorgeous and oozy in the middle.

Serve the Camembert with warmed flat bread or French bread – dunk the bread into the cheese and then into the cranberries and nuts – repeat!

Tips x 3 :

Make sure you buy a Camembert with a stapled box – not a glued version – it's not a good look!

Treat yourself and buy a fresh loaf of sour dough bread – freeze immediately. Sour dough is as good as the day you bought it, taken out of the freezer and defrosted. It's perfect for dunking, sliced and cut into quarters.

I used chopped Honey Roasted Cashews instead of mixed nuts – delicious.

There's more ...
