A Table For Christmas

What's on your table this Christmas?

A Christmas table can be a varied spread. We share some sweet treats from award-winning cookbook author Bridget White Kumar and Silver Talkies member Chandrika Desai that can add a dose of good cheer to your Christmas spread.

"Steamed Ginger Pudding is a legacy of the British Raj. During Colonial Times, it always made up the finale of a delicious menu combination with Mulligatawny Soup, Roast Lamb and Roasted Vegetables. There's nothing better or heartwarming than ending a meal with a slice of Warm Ginger Pudding topped with more jam or Fresh Cream."

That's Bridget White Kumar, whose book Nostalgic Anglo Indian Cooking recently won at the 29th Gourmand Awards.

Perhaps you can spice up Christmas Dinner conversations with these showstopper stained glass cookies hanging from the Christmas tree from our member Chandrika Desai and her son Rajiv. A former textile entrepreneur, Chandrika is an old hand at eclectic meal spreads!
