December seasonal food

Apart from the fact that it’s a month for festivities and feasting…did someone say Christmas?… December is the perfect time to enjoy seasonal foods such as turkey and game. Eat fresh chestnuts while you can, enjoy a wide range of root vegetables, cabbage and pumpkin. Make the most of the fruits of winter: cranberries and pomegranates.
