\"driedg\"First of all\u00a0I would like to apologise to all my dear visitors for such a long silence (some have probably thought I’d stopped blogging…) due to long holidays. Just like every year, I had planned writing at least one post in advance and… just like every year, somehow it didn’t work…<\/p>\n

Coming back from my holidays, I started to panic realising it’s time to think and start buying Christmas presents. I still haven’t decided on bigger ones, but I thought maybe this year, for the first time in my life, I might make and offer some edible gifts, at least as a small addition to the more “serious”\u00a0stuff…<\/p>\n

I know cookies, biscuits and jams are often offered, not only for Christmas, so I tried to list\u00a0here some more unusual savoury edible gift\u00a0ideas\u00a0you might find inspiring (if you know my food preferences a bit, you will not be surprised by the abundance of chilli-based products….). All of these are easy to prepare, some can be made in almost no time at all, and all the ingredients are available\u00a0in December, at least in Europe (fresh imported chilli is available all year round, I hope in the rest of the\u00a0world too).<\/p>\n

Made in less than 30 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n
