TABLE TALK
“When I dress the house for
Christmas I like using
evergreen, berries and pine
cones to create a festive look.
It brings the outdoors in and
feels festive but natural.
Adding interesting details to
the table makes it feel special
too – I prefer something
unexpected, perhaps in the
colour of the flowers,
tablecloth or tabletop. I
think it is fun for guests to
have a beautiful element of
surprise when sitting down
at the table. On Christmas
Day, I love serving comfort
food: roast chicken, mashed
potatoes and vegetables.
Apple pie is the perfect way
to end our meal.” >
