Christmas is getting close!

Outside it's cold and in some parts of Europe it's even snowy, so it's the perfect time to gather around the oven and cook a traditional English Christmas recipe: mice pies!
This is for you all, but especially for my FCE students, as we talked about it during class. :)

Mince pie recipe dates back to the 13th century, when it originally contained not only fruits and spices (like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg), but also meat. In time the savoury Christmas pie became sweeter and reduced its size markedly.

My colleague Martin, also a teacher at Giga, runs an English recipes blog - Martin's Great British Recipes. You will find the Mince Pie recipe there, so you can try it yourselves!

Happy Christmas!
