Emma Macdonald, founder of The Bay Tree Having grown up making delicious preserves with her mother, The Bay Tree’s founder, Emma Macdonald, has always had an obsession for food and the pursuit of taste. This passion for discovering exciting and innovative flavours saw her travel the world as a chef, before launching The Bay Tree more than two decades ago.

The early days were humble, with Emma lovingly creating batches of Aga dried tomatoes and Cucumber Relish in her mother’s kitchen. Within days of launching, Fortnum & Mason and Harvey Nichols were keen to place orders and the kitchen was quickly outgrown. Emma moved The Bay Tree to its first manufacturing unit, where she continued developing new ranges and exploring new flavour profiles. Today, The Bay Tree has over 150 mouth-watering products in its range.

What Christmas gift do you covet this year?

I think this year, I am looking at doing things so would love to get a day out or day away doing something different rather than a gift. Although a side of smoked salmon from the Brown and Forest Smokehouse (www.smokedeel. co.uk) would be lovely too. I will not forget having some years back so another one would be fabulous!

What gift they would like to give?

I would like to give all my family, home made damson and sloe gin, as it has been an amazing harvest for wild berries and I have some delicious home brew.

Emily and Annabel Lui Photograph: BILLIE SCHEEPERS Sisters Emily and Annabel were born into a world of food, helping their parents run their busy family restaurant from a very early age.

After graduating from university, Annabel went into the City where she worked as a financial consultant. It was here that she learnt skills that would stand her in good stead later on. They first set up their stall one freezing cold morning in February 2013 at Partridges food market; by lunchtime they had sold out.

Within a matter of months their reputation had spread to the point when Selfridges asked them to supply their store with a range of Biskies, The sisters were then asked to design an exclusive collection for Harrods. This was then followed by a hugely successful pop at Selfridges which they ran themselves. It was the latter that gave Annabel and Emily the desire to do something similar.

With Cutter & Squidge now an established brand, and a successful pop up partnership with global mega brand Hello Kitty under their belt, the sisters have plans to open more stores.

Joyce and Raissa de Haas Raised in the Netherlands and now based in London, twins Joyce and Raissa de Haas are young entrepreneurs rapidly making their mark within the drinks industry with their revolutionary ‘Double Dutch’ mixers.

Watching the range of rare and interesting spirits grow and cocktail mixology becoming a highly respected practice, the twins noticed a lack of high-quality mixers and sodas on offer. From this disparity, Double Dutch was born. Their vision to unite great spirits with complementary mixers that enliven and enhance the drinks came to life while the twins were studying at University College of London. After extensive research into food pairings and winning the UCL Bright Ideas Awards, the brand started taking off.

In 2015, things escalated when Richard Branson awarded them a Virgin StartUp Foodpreneur Award as Best Innovative Food and Beverage brand, securing them a contract with US retail giant Target.

Today, Joyce and Raissa continue to passionately build their now global brand. At 25 years old, they are already leading innovators in their field, constantly looking for the next exciting and unexpected flavour pairings through an endless series of research. Working with chemists and mixologists to chemically analyse the molecular makeup in their flavour compounds, each Double Dutch flavour combination is scientifically proven to be harmonious.

Joyce and Raissa ensure the Double Dutch brand is a reflection of their personalities; ambitious, playful, and always passionate about great cocktails.

LIKE TO RECEIVE This miniature oak barrel ages spirits to peak flavor, just like its full-sized siblings found in professional distilleries.

How to Choose Wine for Christmas Dinner by Honest Grapes Festive wines for festive vibes The best wines to take care of those Christmas culinary conundrums 1.

Nibbles and starters

You have a lot of options here depending on how brave you want to be. For fizz, a fine Prosecco like the Dal Bello Don Gallo Prosecco is always a good choice but you can break the mould with a Crémant d’Alsace as a great value alternative to Champagne.

Bright, crisp wines drink well on their own and excite the palate for food to come. Go for a crisp and lightly fruity white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or unoaked Chardonnay.

If you’d rather start with red wine, choose something softer in character, with lighter tannins and pleasant fruitiness without puckering your mouth. Try an Italian Merlot, Light Pinot Noir , or perhaps a Beaujolais Villages.

2.

Hors d’ouvres

Chablis or Sancerre are classic matches for seafood, but try Menetou-Salon for an exciting, great value alternative.

The crispness and weightiness of these wines balances the salty delicate flavours of the seafood.

For creamy, rich food try a bold Pinot Gris from Alsace or the Italian Alto Adige. The richness, spiciness and acidity of these wines perfectly complements the creaminess and fat of dishes like paté.

3.

Main course

Fish with white wine is a classic combo, but did you know that meatier fish and salmon work beautifully with delicate red wines? The texture and oiliness of the salmon complements the light red fruit and rounded notes of Beaujolais or Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir is very versatile and also pairs great with lamb and turkey (perfect for Christmas). The delicate red fruit aromas complement the meat, whilst the natural acidity aids digestion.

Have Chardonnay with chicken, especially with creamy or mushroom sauces. Chardonnay with mushroom and chicken risotto is a good idea for a delicious dinner that’s quick and easy. Chilean, American or French Chardonnay have a richness and acidity Pair Chardonnay with chicken, a classic combination, especially with creamy or mushroom sauces. The richness and acidity of a Chilean, American or French Chardonnay brings out the flavours in chicken breast.

For red meats, you can’t go wrong with a classic Italian red or a classic Bordeaux red. We recommend Certosa di Belriguardo Chianti DOCG from Tuscany or the Terrelíade Nero d’Avola-Syrah from Sicily and the Chateau Civrac 2008 or Chateau la Croix de Grezard 2009 And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for…

4. Dessert Tip: As the colour of the dessert gets darker, the wine should get darker.

Christmas pudding is in season. Pair it with a fragrant Gewürtztraminer and pink champagne.

The spiciness will complement the fruit.

Custard desserts taste great with aromatic white wines, demi-sec champagne and Italian sparklers, like Castello di Neive Moscato d’Asti.

Rich chocolate and caramel desserts pair with red wine like Grenache, Australian Shiraz, or one of our top sweet wines from a favourite producer of ours, La Giaretta Recioto Classico.
