Här kommer ett alternativ till vanlig julmat, ett underbart recept gjort av min kille Jon. När han stoltserar i köket får han självaste Gordon Ramsey att bli blek om nosen :)
Godare paj får ni leta efter och den är ett MÅSTE nu under kalla vinterdagar. Den går att göra i tre varianter så att den passar alla smaklökar…..Ni får receptet på engelska då Jon är från Nya Zeeland ……enjoy.
Here is a great alternative to ordinary Christmas food – a wonderful recipe made by my b/f, Jon. When he works the kitchen he makes even the great Gordon Ramsay seem pale in comparison :)
You’ll have to look far and wide for a tastier pie, which is a MUST on cold Winter days. It can be made in three different variations for all tastes….The recipe is given here in English as Jon is from New Zealand …..enjoy.
