Snowflakes and Schnapps
Jane Lawson

Recipes include goulash soup with caraway dumplings, mustard roasted turkey with speck potatoes and honey sauce,and veal cutlets with wheat beer sauce and winter vegetable strudel. Warming desserts aren't forgotten either, the likes of reworked classics such as molten black forest puddings with cherry compote and kirsch cream will surely stick to the ribs, in the best way possible.
