"ANYONE WHO KNOWS me knows that Christmas is my absolute favourite
time of year. I’m one of those disgusting people who start playing Christmas carols
in November," laughs Shannon Martinez, owner and head chef of the wildly
popular Smith & Daughters in Melbourne."My staff are not looking forward
to the next month whatsoever!"
Carols aside, Martinez revels in the tradition that the season brings."We develop
these really strong family rituals centred around food at Christmas, passed down
through generations. So with these recipes I wanted to make food that was familiar
and can be enjoyed by the whole family, something that can have its place
at the table just as much as the roast turkey next to it and become part
of a new tradition."SHANNON MARTINEZ.
