SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

• 6 egg whites

• Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Trace a 10 inch (25 cm) circle with a marker on the parchment, then add a 4 inch (10 cm) inner circle. When marker dries, flip it over so that the marked side is facing down.

• 1 3/4 cups (425 mL) granulated sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) white vinegar • 1 tsp (5 mL) cornstarch • 2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar • 1/4 tsp (1mL) peppermint extract (optional) • 12 to 15 mini candy canes (about 100 g) • Dark chocolate curls

• Whisk egg whites using an electric mixer until foamy. With mixer running, gradually add sugar. Increase speed to high and whisk until egg whites are glossy, thick, and hold stiff peaks; about 4 to 7 minutes. Stir vinegar with cornstarch until smooth. Whisk into egg whites.

• Spoon mixture onto prepared sheet following the marker lines to create a wreath. Use the back of a large spoon to create indentations for the whipped cream.

• Place pan in the oven and reduce temperature to 250°F (120°C). Bake 90 minutes or until meringue is golden and cooked through. Let cool completely.

• Using an electric mixer on high, whip cream with sugar and peppermint until it forms soft peaks. Spoon into indentations in meringue. Roughly crack 4 candy canes into large pieces and sprinkle over whipped cream, then place 8 whole ones evenly apart so each serving gets a candy cane.

the Perfect LEARN

FOR HOLIDAY FOODS 20

On top of buying presents for everyone and preparing the feast,

choosing which wines to serve at your holiday party can be overwhelming.

Chances are you don't have a personal sommelier at your side to suggest pairings with your favourite turkey recipe. Fortunately, Jane Masters, master of wine offers a few simple insider tips for achieving an expert pairing with every meal.

F O R S A LT Y A P P E T I Z E R S ...

Sparkling wines pair fairly well with salty dishes, so feel free to serve your favourite with an assortment of hors d'oeuvres. “Good sparkling wines are made in many places, with Prosecco from Italy and Spanish Cava being affordable alternatives to champagne. Other great options are sparkling wines produced in other regions of France, such as Alsace, Burgundy and the Loire,� says Masters.

FOR SEAFOOD A P P E T I Z E R S ...

Seafood appetizers like oysters or smoked salmon call for zippy wines, especially when they're served with tangy dressings. To match that, any Sauvignon Blanc from France or New Zealand should do the trick. You can also go with a lesser-known but equally lively Verdejo from Spain. >>>

lifestyle

F O R T U R K E Y ...

As a white meat, turkey should call for white wine. But its relative neutral taste makes for a blank canvas. So the ideal pairing will mostly depend upon the accompaniments, especially the sauce.

“I think about the FLAVOURS, their INTENSITY, and the TEXTURE of the dish,” says Masters.

“Strong meats and sauces go well with robust red wines while lighter dishes pair better with lighter reds or whites. But there are no hard and fast rules - it comes down to personal tastes and sometimes you can be surprised by unusual combinations.”

F O R D E S S E R T ...

“You can't go wrong with a classic PORT or a Southern French dessert wine like SAUTERNES or MONBAZILLAC,” Masters recommends.

Want to learn more about food and wine pairing? As part of their wine club membership benefits, Opimian offers the services of a wine concierge. Available via phone or email, this wine expert can help with pairing inquiries among other things so you'll never have to worry about which wine to serve at your next gathering.

to

DIY gift wrapping parties help connect FRIENDS & FAMILY

T

24

here are few holiday traditions as time honoured as wrapping and preparing gifts for loved ones. More and more creative do-it-yourselfers are taking this special tradition a step further by adding a personalized touch to their gifts with handmade wrappings and cards. In fact, creative types are even organizing “wrapping parties� to take advantage of this special time to connect with friends and family.

When people get together to be creative, wonderful things happen" says SHELLI GARDNER, cofounder of Stampin' Up!, a crafting and décor company.

“And it's not just because they are stamping.

Although our products definitely make creativity easy and fun, the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories are only the vehicle for the real magic that happens-the connecting. Whether we're getting together to make cards, create decorations, or have a wrapping party, reaching out to others is what makes the great memories.”

To help create these memories Gardner adds that there are some beautiful new and exciting materials to help create personalized cards, décor, and packaging to make the holidays merry and bright.

Here are a few of this season's popular trends:

tasteful

TREATS

Offering homemade festive cookies and treats is a great way to show someone you care, but they become even more heartfelt when packaged in handmade gift wrapping and boxes. With the Under the Tree Tag a Bag accessory kit by Stampin' Up! you can wrap treats, desserts and gifts in handmade coordinated gift bags and boxes decorated with your choice of designer series paper, ribbons and fabric in fun festive colours such as cherry cobbler, crumb cake, garden green and pistachio pudding. »

do it yourself

personalized

DIY GREETING

CARDS

According to Gardner, options also abound for those looking to put a personal touch on their holiday cheer with handmade greeting cards. “You can choose the stamp set, the colour palette, and the eye-catching accessories as you create a unique, customized card that reflects your personal taste, style, and even greeting.�

To give your family Christmas cards a timeless feel you can try the Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create that classic design look.

You can create your own festival of trees with the versatile two step stamp set with tree punch where cards, tags and gifts can feature different variations of tree designs.

For the comedic person on your list, add a dash of whimsy for an offbeat take on the traditional holiday season with the Santa & Co, Visions of Santa and Get Your Santa On product sets. These fun designs will surely brighten spirits.
