Spiced Cranberry Compote
With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd share my favourite chicken liver parfait recipe (it's just a silky smooth luxurious pate, really) along with a spiced cranberry compote and homemade cute little brioche loaves. I chose to do cranberry compote this time, given the season. One can find frozen cranberries at good supermarkets. Look out for the Hillcrest frozen berry range. Usually, I simply play around with apple, pear, onion and of course, seasonal plums. All simply divine ingredients to use for a compote. I particularly enjoyed this festive flavour combination with the nostalgic warm and fuzzy spices in the cranberry compote and of course, the sweetness and much-needed tartness it provides to cut through the gloriously rich parfait and buttery brioche. I will post an easy crowd-pleasing dessert recipe tomorrow on my Instagram. So keep an eye out ;-) And then, I'm officially switching off until 6 Jan 2019! Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and an incredible 2019!

And there you have it. A super Festive AF starter. It seems like a lot of shit to do, but I promise you, it is so worth that little extra effort. Try and make the parfait the day before, so it sets really well.
