Sticky Toffee Pudding I serve at my own family gathering. Others come from friends and neighbours who were kind enough to share the tastes and traditions that make their holidays unique. This collection is more than just a set of recipes; it is an invitation. An invitation to try something new, to rediscover an old classic, and most importantly, to bring the people you care about together in the spirit of joy, sharing, and celebration. My hope is that this cookbook becomes the beginning of a new annual tradition here in Port Stanley, one that reflects our community’s love of food, our sense of hospitality, and the way we come together during the holiday season. A Christmas Blessing: May your gatherings be warm, your plates be full, and your memories be sweet. May the season bring you peace, joy, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass in celebration with those you hold dear. Merry Christmas, from my family to yours.
Welcome to the Inaugural Christmas in Port Stanley Holiday Cookbook Going back to Dickens and the Victorian age, the picture of Christmas has always been tied to the warmth of the household hearth. Whether through stories of carollers in the snow, festive gatherings in candlelit rooms, or the aroma of something delicious simmering away
in the kitchen, the heart of the season has always been about food, family, and togetherness. From elaborate, decadent dishes to simple, cherished family recipes, Christmas traditions remind us that what truly matters is sharing good food with the people we love. It is my Christmas wish that this very first Christmas in Port Stanley Holiday Cookbook brings that same sense of warmth and connection into your home. May it inspire a little laughter, a few flour fights, and plenty of unforgettable meals around your own modern hearth. Inside, you’ll find a collection of recipes meant to celebrate both the rich flavours of the season and the spirit of community that makes Port Stanley such a special place. There are comforting main courses, festive side dishes, baked goods that smell like pure holiday cheer, and indulgent desserts to cap off your celebrations. Some of these recipes are personal favourites I turn to year after year, like the
