  • In this video, we're embracing the chill with hot meals, reflecting on why winter is for resting and visiting the Blenheim Palace Lights.
    🌨️ Chilly Days Chapter: As we explore the serene beauty of a cold winter day we reflect on why maybe winter is for resting and not for productivity. Why one of the best things we can do in winter is to take care of ourselves by hiding in our homes, with good food and good company / connection.
    🍲 Hot Meals: Dive into the heartwarming world of winter recipes. From a simple yet delicious focaccia to a comforting traditional Romanian meatball soup, I'm sharing three recipes that will warm your soul.
    🏰 Blenheim Palace Lights: This is one of the highlights of where I live so I wanted you to get to experience the enchanting lights and festive ambiance at Blenheim Palace, where historical charm meets winter magic. Santa was there and it was awesome.
    Thank you for joining me in creating memorable moments filled with warmth, good food, and some magical moments at Blenheim Palace lights.

    Love your videos but I do find reading the text and enjoying the visuals hard to do at the same time. The text comes and goes so quickly I feel I have to pick one or the other. Is it just me? 😂
    Oh and crumble on top of custard!! Genius. I will be trying this next time I make crumble.

      Thank you so much for your feedback Emily. Funnily enough that's exactly what my husband said after watching it - so I'll take it on board and slow things down. It's a new style of filming / editing / storytelling that I'm enjoying at the moment, but for sure I need to smooth a few things! Yes to custard on the bottom, means the topping stays crunchy and there's not risk of soggy top haha! Thank you so much for watching, for being here and for all the love. Wishing you a Happy Christmas XXX

    So lovely to be able to share some of the magical moments with you and your family. loved seeing the joy of the food your prepared and would be so grateful if you were able to share the crumble recipe. You're right about childhood food. It does bring your comfort , physically and emotionally. This year I went to Albania for the first time. My parents were born there , came to Australia as displaced persons (WW 2). Each time I ate it was an explosion of childhood memories. The colours, ingredients, aroma and taste , my father siblings and grandparents. I got teary a few times! Well actually quite a few times throughout the whole trip. Oh and my husband and I made the 1880s egg nog tonight. It has to sit for the next few days and mature. I will let you know how it turned out . Merry Christmas to you and yours, Go well Alexandra

      Ah so lovely to read about your story a little bit. Albania is a beautiful country and so is Australia! And yes, nothing like food that brings you back to your roots. It's comforting on an emotional level for sure. I can just imagine you two in the kitchen making the egg nog! Super cute! Thank you for watching and being here Julie! Have a lovely Christmas! Sending love XX

    The cooking shots were so beautiful! I am doing the same thing with my kids. My husband and I come from two different cultures and I find food is the best way to connect daily aside from language.
    Wishing you and your family a happy new year!

    Oh wow! The soup and the foccachia look so good! It it possible to use another type of meat for the meatballs? I don't eat pork but I would love to try this making this.
    I made the raspberry wreath bun last week and it was so good! My sister and I finished it in 2 days! LOL. Cannot wait to try more of your recipes 😋 🩷

    • @AlexandraBurnett
      @AlexandraBurnett  9 місяців тому +1

      You made the wreath!!! I'm so glad you like it! Sometimes when sharing recipes it's hard to know if other people might find them as amazing but so glad you hear you and your sister loved it!!! Regarding the meat, I reckon beef would work or even chicken mince. Sending lots of love thank you for being here and watching x

    • @FutureFendiFsnista
      @FutureFendiFsnista 9 місяців тому

      ​@AlexandraBurnett Oh ok, I will try using beef and see how it goes. Can't wait! Thank you so much ! Lots of love to you and your beautiful family as well!💛
