LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2021

FESTIVE

Sweet & Salty LogCabin A honey-laced granola bar base, combined with sugary chocolate ga- nache and plenty of salty pretzels, makes this house a sweet and salty lover’s dream. There are lots of snacks that can be used to decorate the house and surrounding area, like dried fruit, salted nuts and other treats—so feel free to get creative. Recipe on page 266

House party

Move over, gingerbread. Take inspiration from these dazzling, Instagram-worthy centrepieces fashioned from sweet and savoury ingredients— ideal for showcasing at your next festive gathering.

Making gingerbread houses is a holiday tradition in many households. Often stuck together with royal icing and studded with candies, most houses end up as rock- hard, tooth-cracking display pieces. These “alternative” gingerbread houses are meant to be eaten the same day they are made, making them both a pleasure to look at and a treat to eat.
