     homemade, herbed, buttery shortcrust pastry is the best
     of all. Serve warm with buttered cabbage, grain mustard

     Lightly flour a cool, clean work

     turning regularly as you roll it into
     a shape that will neatly fit your dish.
     Roll until it is about 0.5cm thick,
     then gently lift it and place it over
     your dish. Press it into the edges
     of the dish before removing any
     excess. Re-roll the excess and cut
     into shapes of your choice – leaves,
     stars, crosses or hearts. Arrange the
     shapes over the top of the pastry and
     brush all over with the egg wash (the
     egg and milk mixture).

     Something green, light and fresh can often be a welcome
     addition to the table during the festive season and this
     simple, nourishing salad offers just that. With gluts of
     seasonal brussels sprouts and their delicious leafy tops in
     abundance at this time of year, this is also a wonderful way
