Yeah! Christmas is almost there! This is the most beautiful part of the year, only a few weeks to go! That’s also birthday time for me. One year more :-). Still many to go. We can see all christmas decoration on the shops and christmas markets are opening filled with foie gras, oysters, mulled wine, …
Unfortunately no mulled red wine, or champagne, or oysters for me this year… As a result, I will eat by myself this delicious chesnut log and catch up with the rest in February when our little girl will be with us.
I found this recipe on Saveurs magazine last year. I adapted it a bit to my taste, I hope that you will like it and give you the motivation to make your own logs this year. At the end, it’s not so difficult, however you have to plan ahead and why not froze them so you have enough time on christmas eve for the rest.
I will share with you some christmas recipes during the next weeks that you might want to make for your christmas diner !
