The Lodge Christmas Party

So we celebrate our Christmas party with some Mulled Wine, a cheese board with about 8 types of cheese (Among them an interesting goat blue cheese, and also manchego, reblochon, vintage cheedar, gouda, brie, smoke cheese and goat soft cheese) We also had chicken liver pate, most people's favourite apparently, since it almost dissapear; and then black olive tapenade, aubergine pate, feta cheese, walnut and herbs pate, and beetroot relish. All homemade :)
I think everybody enjoyed it a lot.

Beetroot relish and goat's cheese starter

Now this is an example of creativity. Laura made this starter by improvising over two of the recipes in the Laundry Cookbook, and it was great. The sweet beetroot relish goes very well with the cheese. I loved it. The photo is a bit dark, though, but it's enough to set your mind going. Can you feel the pull?
