{Sponsored Video} Crumpets Taste Like Home

I come from a family that enjoys food dare I say we are comfort eaters. We all enjoy good food and aren’t shy to go back for seconds, which may be why I cannot lose this last 8kg!

Birthdays and Christmas are always a big deal, punctuated by good food. Cakes, cookies, gammon and roast turkey. My mom is famous for her Christmas feasts, I tried one year to replicate it but nothing ever compares to my mom’s Christmas feast. They were very much a part of my childhood and are a very important part of my kids year, Cameron’s in particular.

Christmas Roast Tastes Like Home

She wasn’t all about the roast meat though, my mom makes the best crumpets. I remember having them over weekends growing up and she would always make different shapes with the last bit of batter – she would make snails and the letters of our names. I have tried to make shapes but I can never get the batter the right consistency to do this.

Another one of my favourites is the cookies my mom bakes en masse over the festive season. We got this recipe for these German cookies, hildebrotchen, from my aunt and after years of trying my mom has perfected them with gluten free flour (if you have ever used gluten free flour, you will know that it can be a challenge.).

Cookies Taste Like Home

Living far from my parents, it is the small things, like baking crumpets on a Saturday morning or cooking a big Sunday lunch, that make it a little easier. It is not only me who has these moments, the older two kids will often say “This tastes like the stir-fry granny makes” or “Granny makes it just like this”

Cooking and baking are definitely something very emotive for us as a family. The smells, tastes and textures of things remind us all of our childhood, happy times, safe places and good memories.

  1. This post does make me a little sad, because I haven’t had one of these family Christmas’s in years.
    But it also brought a smile to my face, because I remembered my mother and gran’s baking and cooking. In particular, my gran’s shortbread (made with real butter) and my mother’s cooking on the whole.
