Published in association with
www.localpeoplemacclesfield.co.uk
Don’t worry, I don’t usually write so much by way of introduction and this is the first time in over 8 years of publishing that I have ever put my own photo in the mag!! However, as many of you know, this magazine was first started over 9 years ago by the indefatigable Denise Valente. As publisher myself of neighbouring magazine, ’Local People Macclesfield’, I have had the pleasure over much of this time of working in association and co operation with Denise. Once she had made the very difficult decision to relinquish the reins of the magazine, it seemed like a natural progression for me to take over and publish the two magazines in tandem. Whilst it will no doubt be a challenge, I am looking forward to it and most of all, hopefully doing justice to all that Denise has built up. I should like to take this opportunity to thank Denise for her co operation and friendship over the years and to wish her well in the future. In so doing, I sincerely hope she encounters the respect, integrity and support in both her current and future ventures that she truly deserves (and I am secretly hoping that she may still retain some connection with ‘Compass’ in the new year once her personal compass has come to rest!). Having spent my formative (ie teenage!!) years in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, and then returning frequently as my parents lived in Alderley Edge for over 35 years, I feel that I am combining where I came from with where I am now, which is actually a great feeling! Although some things have without doubt changed since those heady days of 23 teenagers sharing 3 cups of coffee for two hours at a time in the “Coffee Lounge” (they must have loved us!!), the general ethos and pace remains the same. Anyone remember ‘Leks’ on Grove Street? I ZDV that Saturday girl …. enough said!! My plan is to run the two magazines separately, keeping their individual identities intact, but to encourage a synergy between the two nevertheless. We will maybe introduce one or two new ad sizes into Compass and a couple of new features over the next few months, but essentially it will be business as usual! However, if there are any features which you would like to see, please ring me on the number above. In a nutshell, our aim is to bring local business to local people in a way which is, ‘affordable, effective and popular!’. And that’s enough from me! I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and all the very best for 2014! See you in February!

Cake and Bake Lebkuchen
Makes 65
This richly spiced traditional German festive biscuit provides a grown up alternative to gingerbread. Slathered in rich dark chocolate and studded with sweet cherries, these are chewy and sweet, with a spicy kick. Perfect with a cup of strong black coffee.
Ingredients: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
100g ground hazelnuts 70g almond flour 350g plain flour 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons nutmeg 1 teaspoon mixed spice 3 teaspoons ground ginger � teaspoon salt � teaspoon baking powder � teaspoon baking soda 150g dark brown sugar 225ml clear honey 50g butter 3 medium sized eggs 200g glacé cherries 300g dark cooking chocolate
Tip These can be kept uncoated for up to a month in an airtight container, so are ideal to make ahead of the festive rush, to be dipped in chocolate later on.
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Prepare all dry ingredients and sift together in a large bowl until combined. 2. In a separate bowl, combine honey, sugar and butter, and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time to the mixture and beat until well mixed. 3. Gently fold in the sugar mixture into the dry ingredients. The mixture will be sticky and dense. 4. Add glacé cherries into the lebkuchen mixture until evenly distributed. 5. Prepare a large tray with greaseproof paper. Place heaped teaspoon sized portions across the tray, with plenty of space around them. 6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The biscuits will rise and be firm to touch, with a little softness to pressure. Remove and allow to cool overnight. 7. Once cooled, you can now dip them in chocolate. Prepare the chocolate coating by crumbling 300g of dark chocolate in a large bowl, over hot water. Stir until the chocolate is evenly melted, and of a smooth, glossy consistency. 8. Dip each biscuit into the chocolate mixture. You can either dip the front surface only, coat half a biscuit, or submerge the entire thing! (You may need more chocolate to do this for the entire batch.) 9. Place dipped biscuits on a tray and allow to cool and harden. 10. Store in an airtight container.

A Christmas wreath
Zinc wreath candle holder, £22.95, Love from Rosie (07817 484698; www.lovefromrosie.co.uk)
Christmas is undoubtedly a time of traditions: perhaps midnight mass, roast turkey and the Queen’s Speech, followed by a snooze in front of the TV and a few board games. But some traditions are older than others. The custom of making wreaths goes all the way back to ancient Greece. It was here that wearing a laurel wreath came to represent status, achievement and victory. For the Romans, it was the supreme ruler who wore a wreath embellished with gold and jewels. Meanwhile, in Celtic Germany and Scandinavia, wreaths were employed for a different purpose: sun worship. In the long, dark days of winter people prayed for the onset of spring, and to give extra power to their prayers they used a wreath, hung from the roof or placed on an altar or a table. The wreath was woven with evergreens, a symbol of everlasting life, and decorated with candles, which represented the light of the sun. As Christianity spread through Europe, the pagan evergreen wreath was reinterpreted. Its circular shape stood for God’s eternity, the immortality of the soul and the everlasting life found in Christ. Evergreens, as before, symbolised eternal
You know that Christmas is coming when you hang a festive wreath on your front door, says Katherine Sorrell.
life, while holly represented the crown of thorns. It is possible that using a wreath to count down the four weeks of advent became a Christian custom in 16th century Germany, and it is likely that the modern advent wreath was invented by a German pastor called Johann Hinrich Wichern. Asked by the children at his mission school how long it was until Christmas, Wichern took an old cartwheel and stuck 19 small candles into it as well as four large candles, then lit one small candle each weekday and one large candle every Sunday until Christmas arrived. Christmas wreaths are still a powerful symbol of celebration. For some families, Christmas starts with the making of a natural wreath using leaves, flowers and seed heads from the garden; for others, tinsel, glitter or ribbon provide a chance to experiment. But Christmas wreaths don’t have to be home-made: there are endless varieties of readymade styles, from traditional to modern, large or tiny, simple or extravagant. Whatever their style and wherever you display them, wreaths are a decorative essential for the Christmas season.
By Katherine Sorrell
How to make your own Christmas wreath 1. If you don’t want to buy a ready-made base, you can easily make your own. Either shape a wire coat hanger into a circle (keeping the hook for hanging) or use bundles of twiggy growth from your garden (willow or honeysuckle vine work well) bound firmly with garden string, raffia, florist wire or climber stems. 2. Attach evergreen sprigs such as conifer, holly, laurel or ivy. Bind them at the bottom, then overlap the next sprig or group of sprigs in the same direction. Keep going until the base is completely covered. 3. Finish as you like, choosing from a variety of interesting decorations, such as fresh, dried or artificial flowers, ribbons, berries, raffia, moss, fir cones, seed heads, nuts, dried fruit, poppy heads, tinsel, glitter, baubles, sweets, feathers, buttons and beads. 4, Attach a strong loop of wire or string and hang where you wish, or simply prop your wreath on a shelf or mantelpiece.
