The 2FM Toy Appeal SuperValu and RTÉ 2FM are teaming up again with Santa and the St. Vincent De Paul to ensure that every child in Ireland will have a new toy this Christmas morning.

Ryan Tubridy said: “Every toy collected will brighten an Irish child’s life this Christmas Day; the response last year was phenomenal

and we know we can do even better this year”. “Helping each other out is part of what we are, the Irish nation is a community and we are all each other’s neighbours, with our help every Irish child will enjoy the magic of Christmas” added, Breakfast with Hector host, Hector O’hEogochain From Monday, November 14th to Sunday, December 11th, you can drop off your toy at your local SuperValu store. Last year, 25,000 toys were donated by SuperValu customers and 2FM listeners to the St. Vincent De Paul. These toys were distributed in each local area, arriving to Irish families in time for Christmas morning.

The SuperValu fishmonger will pop it in the ready to cook bag and seal it for you, while all you have to do is take it home, put it in the oven or microwave for the time indicated on the bag and wait for heat to do the rest.

Take a break in:
Annual Christmas Day dip
Killarney is a town for all seasons. It’s quieter and cosier during the winter, when it can feel like you have the heavenly scenery and attractions all to yourself. You’ll easily see why Killarney won the overall award in this year’s Tidy Town’s Competition.
The Christmas in Killarney festival is returning for 2011. Running from November 19th until January 8th 2012 the line-up of events and activities this year has something to appeal to people of all ages. Now in its seventh year, Christmas in Killarney has become renowned for its fantastic events, its unbeatable festive atmosphere and its unique community spirit, which sees the town come together to put on a world class festival. Top highlights of this year’s festival include the annual Christmas Day dip, pictured above, Santa’s Secret Christmas Village, a performance by the Dublin Gospel Choir and wonderful Open Air Christmas Markets on Main Street, where you can browse the best local handmade craft and food products and warm up with a glass of mulled wine. For more information log on to www.christmasinkillarney.com When it comes to scenery in this part of the Kingdom, it’s hard to know where to start. A trip out to Torc Waterfall is a great way to get the blood flowing in the winter. Park the car at the base of the waterfall and stroll the path among the ancient trees as far up Torc Mountain as takes your fancy. The forest is

evergreen so there’s plenty to enjoy in the winter time and with the extra water around this time of the year, the waterfall is at its most spectacular. If you’d rather stay on the flat, then the scenic walks around the Middle Lake at Muckross are just the thing. You can always enjoy some craft shopping while you’re down there and maybe warm up with some delicious refreshments in the restaurant. After that, there’s only one way to travel back into town. Hop into one of the jaunting cars outside, pull a blanket over your lap and let the jarvey show why Kerry men have a reputation for the gift of the gab. Now it’s time for some shopping. Killarney has your High Street favourites, a discount outlet centre and a number of charming and unique boutiques, all concentrated around the compact town centre. It also has an unrivalled collection of arts and crafts shops showcasing the best Irish talent, so keep your eyes peeled for that perfect Christmas present.

Killarney comes alive at night, with a choice of restaurants, bars and entertainment that you’d expect from a bigger town. Seafood? Thai? Mexican? Modern Irish? Whether it’s a romantic meal for two or dinner with the gang, the town and its hotels have something for every appetite. And here in Killarney it’s only ever a short walk to a cosy traditional bar or a larger pub buzzing with atmosphere. You might prefer to take in a show at the INEC, where they have everything from world class snooker to Jedward and comedian Jimmy Carr in the coming months. Fancy a game of golf the following day (or sending a special someone to the course so you can squeeze in more shopping)? Well you’re in Killarney, home to this year’s Irish Open, so you can always play 18 holes in the footsteps of Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington. If you find yourself strolling the town later, pop into the tearooms on College Street for a traditional cup of tea and a bun. Or maybe wrap up tight and take a trip out to Ross Castle to do the walk down to the ancient copper mines, where you can take in the views over the Lower Lake. If architecture is your thing, then don’t miss the splendour of St. Mary’s Cathedral, built in 1824. There’s a world of activities to enjoy

in Killarney such as horse-riding, bike hire and organised tours. Pop in to the tourist office on Beech Road or give them a call on 064-6631633 to see what is available during your stay. You can always take the car and explore the surrounding country side. Some of the most spectacular drives in the country run through Killarney, including the Ring of Kerry and the drive up to Moll’s Gap and through the mountains to Kenmare.

Remembering times gone by... Christmas as a child started with the letter disappearing up a chimney and flying off to a magical world I wanted to live in. It was cold evenings, runny noses, warm fires and friends all wishing for games and guns, not real ones of course and bikes with bells. And then the journey into town for clothes I never wanted, a shirt I‘d never wear again and ice cream in stainless steel bowls that made the day worthwhile. On the way home we’d sit upstairs on the number 16 bus with smoking men and women hiding the excitement of Christmas presents that sat at their feet. And Christmas day , the joy of eating chocolate long before breakfast, leafing through soccer annuals while the dark was still hanging on to the edges of night and my parents groggy eyed and smiling watched us rip through our presents while their steaming mugs of tea made it all a little easier. Christmas dinner, dessert and the Morecambe and Wise Show and then a comfortable tiredness would spread across my body fed by the flames of a fireside and a family so happy. We were protected against the world by the true spirit of love. You have to love Christmas and I still do!

My late mother used to make a simple dish as part of our Christmas dinner which I make now for my family every year when we’re making the Christmas dinner. (And I participate fully with Aileen on a shared basis in making the meal for us, the five children, her parents and any other members of her family who join us). The dish is a potato, sausage-meat and onion mash, to which I add milk having boiled the potatoes first and lightly fried the sausage meat

and onion. I then bake it in the oven until a brown crust appears on top. It is delicious and the Christmas dinner would not be the same for me without it.

My favourite bit about Christmas will always be the tree. I think I started decorating my mum’s when I was about nine! It became my mission in life. Even after I’d married and moved out I would drive back to her house to climb into the attic and bring down that little silver –fake obviously- beauty. I still have some of her decorations which take pride of place on my own tree now. These days I buy my tree every year from the same man. We only ever see each other once a year. I bring the kids and he comments on how they’ve grown and we discuss this year’s crop of trees. It’s part of the ritual. If he retired I’d be heartbroken!
The Scott family have a very peculiar Christmas tradition. No Christmas dinner would be complete without a small spoon of baked beans on the plate alongside the sprouts, bread sauce, brown meat, white meat, and everything else! As inconceivable as it seems, none of us could imagine having Christmas day dinner without them. They would remain largely untouched for the rest of the year. It all started in the 30’s when granddad came back home from having lived in the States. I think the theory was that baked beans were a new and exciting food in Ireland and seen as the height of sophistication at the time! And so it was a real treat to get a spoonful of them with dinner like a little relish. Our precursor to tomato sauce of sorts. In recent years when my siblings have gotten married and had their first Christmas dinner away from home, there’s always a tiny tin of baked beans stuffed in the suitcase!
Tom Dunne Newstalk DJ, The Tom Dunne Show Weekdays - 10am-12pm
Christmas for me was always about visiting both my grannies on Christmas day. We’d start in Drumshanbo after mass with Granny McKenna who was the Post Mistress there since the 60’s. We’d have a breakfast, a few stories (granny would hear all the news in the post office!) and swap presents. Back home for the Christmas dinner and then we’d jump in the car and head for Ballinamore where my Granny Murphy lived. She owned Murphy’s Foodstore in the town. More sweets and bad stuff, a bit of Christmas
Ruth Scott RTÉ 2fm DJ Weekenders with Ruth & Paddy, Saturdays 4-7, Sundays 2-5
I always remember Christmas at home with the fondest of memories from the wonderful smells that emanated from the kitchen in preparation for Christmas Day, to the great excitement in anticipation of Santa’s visit. For me one of
the most wonderful characters that stands out for me was my wonderful Grandfather - “Pa”, as he was known affectionately to us. The tradition in our house was to find the coins in the Christmas pudding, this was Pa’s contribution to the Christmas dinner. After a wonderful dinner it was pudding time and each child eagerly ate their pudding trying to find the illusive coins, Pa would take out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth and these coins would appear - unbeknown to us that there were no coins in the pudding at all!!!

Christmas has a life of twelve days according to both liturgical and folklore traditions. But in modern times that life has shrunk quite a lot even to the limits of a single day in places. I never accepted the ‘cutbacks’ that brought this about and hence during the season of Nollaig I sometimes retreat towards havens where customs are given due recognition and perhaps some reverence. The Daingean/ Dingle area of Kerry is one such place and a beloved Christmas memory from there concerns St. Stephen’s Day, referred to locally as the ‘Wran’s Day’. World War Two was raging at the time, I may have been ten years of age or thereabouts and it was my first time going ‘in the Wran’. By seven o clock on the morning of December 26 a group of us, all male set out from our village of Dún Síon honouring the age-old tradition. I recall that we all wore long trousers made from flour bags and dyed red for the occasion. With a ‘false-face’ to hide identity and a melodeon player at the front we felt fit to traverse the countryside over the following twelve hours. The spirit of Christmas greeted us at every door; we went inside where music, song,dance and hospitality blended; then it was always on to the next and so on along the foot of lovely hills until daylight faded into darkness as we arrived back in Dún Síon. It truly was Heaven on Earth. Go Maire an sprid go deo.
Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh I was nineteen years of age and working in London and planned everything around a trip home for the holiday. I arrived at Heathrow Airport on Christmas Eve agog with excitement of getting home for the first time in almost a year; my bag was full of presents; and I had a pocket full of party invitations. I was greeted by a destination board replete with cancellations for all flights and the lengthy lines at every airline desk indicated that thousands of people were in the same
predicament as me. We were going nowhere. Amazingly the Aer Lingus staff had some news. If the weather lifted the airline would put on special flights on Christmas Day. After a fretful night on a hard bench, the blearyeyed Irish were greeted by the arrival of Trans-Atlantic jets piloted by volunteer crews to bring us home. Never was the sight of a green-liveried plane with a shamrock on the tail more welcome.
George Hook Newstalk DJ The Right Hook Monday to Friday 4.30 - 7pm
We love, love, love Christmas in our family, and like all families we have our traditions. And now that our parents live abroad when they come home to celebrate Christmas with us it’s even more special. Firstly stockings must be hung up on Christmas Eve, and along with the goodies left by Santa when we get our greedy hands on them on Christmas morning they must also contain a satsuma and some chocolate money covered in shiny gold foil, it’s not a Christmas stocking in the Desmond household without those items! Thankfully Santa never forgets them! After that we head up to UCD to run the GOAL mile. We’ve been doing this for years, my dad’s a great runner and he started us on it, but it doesn’t matter what your fitness level is, my mum has very bad arthritis and she walks it every year, and my brother Conor who is allergic to exercise moans about it for a minute or two but always joins in nonetheless! It’s a great feel good event! After the run we then head to the Forty Foot where my family watch myself and my friends jump into the cold, cold sea. Christmas just isn’t Christmas for me without that dip in the sea! Again it’s all in aid of charity, and it’s great fun, the atmosphere down there is fantastic! Yes it’s chilly but after a quick nip of some hot port from a hip flask all feeling is restored! Then it’s off home for the best part of the day - Christmas dinner! Actually last year my husband Davie cooked for us all, and it was so good it’s now become our new favourite tradition! I just haven’t told him that yet! Lots of Love and wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.

All you need for the party season 14-15 (X1a) Fresh Mag Spread 14-15 Beauty.indd 1

Get your skin ready for Christmas The harsh effects of cold and blustery weather, coupled with a lack of vitamin D during the grey winter months can play havoc with your skin. But don’t worry we’ve got some top tips on how you can get it ready in time for the party season. Preparation... Cleanse! Tone! Moisturise! No matter what your age or skin type, your skin can be healthier, look younger and feel smoother if you know how to take care of it. And that comes down to three simple steps: 1.Cleanse 2.Tone 3.Moisturise Before you buy be sure to spend some time examining your skin. Is it dry or oily or a combination of both? Be sure to invest in the right products for your skin type. 1.Cleanse Having a beautifully cleansed face is the first step in the routine – cleansing removes make up, toxins and dirt and helps to open up your pores. Also once a week you should try to use a face mask to draw out the dirt that is deeper down in the skin, and to eliminate dead skin cells.
Top
Tips
Always take your make-up off before you go to bed – even if you have been on a Christmas night out! Your skin needs time to breathe and repair and it can’t do that if it has layer of foundation on top of it.
2.Tone Toning removes residual dirt, oil even dead skin cells without stripping skin, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed. By removing deeper impurities, pores are clearer and appear smaller. Toning also controls breakouts, blemishes and shine, and prepares skin for moisturising.
Top
Tips
Drink plenty of water. If you are not a great water drinker start by aiming to have at least 4 glasses each day and build it up to around 8. Water is a fantastic way to rehydrate your skin and will keep it looking bright and healthy.
3.Moisturise Now that your face is clean, protect it with a hydrating moisturiser with an SPF of at least 15 – this is a great anti-ageing defence. Yes even though the sun may not be shining, its harmful rays can still seep through the clouds and cause damage or unwanted lines to your skin.
Top
Tips
Then add the sparkle… When it comes to nails go for berry colours. They are perfect for the season and look best on short, just-to-yourfingertips nails. Give coloured mascara a go in navy, burgundy or auburn. It will give lashes a subtle colour and some depth without looking too obvious. Winter is the season for eyes! Define them with a chocolate brown or charcoal liner along your upper lashes. Smokey eyes look best in winter. For a sultry effect, you can use eye shadows in cinnamon and coffee shades. Keep your lips moisturised in order to prevent them from becoming cracked and dry. Be sure to apply lip-gloss throughout the day. A light, matt foundation as well as a tinted powder, with a slight shimmer, look great in winter. A sheer layer of creamy blush-on can boost up a subtle daytime look, to bring it through to the evening. False eyelashes are a must for partygoers but be sure to spend some time practising, it takes a while to get used to putting them on. For an extra glam effect try an eye shadow in a bold block colour, with a hint of glitter.
Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But if you start using an exfoliating scrub once a week, you will notice an almost immediate difference.
Follow these simple steps twice a day and your skin will look and feel softer and smoother.

Last Minute Christmas Cake Forgot to make the Christmas cake? Fear not Kevin’s lighter version can be made any time before the big day, just follow his step-by-step instructions. Serves 12 Ingredients: 300g/10oz SuperValu Plain Flour, sieved 1 tsp SuperValu Salt 110g/4oz Candied Orange Peel 225g/8oz SuperValu Currants 225g/8oz SuperValu Sultanas 55g/2oz Glacé Cherries, quartered 85g/3oz SuperValu Goodness Ground Almonds 225g/8oz SuperValu Butter 225g/8oz SuperValu Caster Sugar 5 large SuperValu Eggs 2 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp SuperValu Ground Ginger 1 SuperValu Lemon, grated zest 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda dissolved in 1 tbsp SuperValu Milk 4 tbsp SuperValu Apricot Jam For the almond paste: 75g/2.5oz SuperValu Icing Sugar, sieved 75g/2.5oz SuperValu Caster Sugar 150g/5oz SuperValu Goodness Ground Almonds 2 SuperValu Egg Yolks, beaten ¼ tsp Almond Essence 1 tsp SuperValu Cooks Ingredients Lemon Juice
For the icing: 500g/1lb 2oz SuperValu Icing Sugar 2 SuperValu Egg Whites ½ tsp Glycerine Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/Gas Mark 2. Grease and line an 8 inch round cake tin with greaseproof paper. 2. Place the ground almonds, lemon zest, peel, currants, sultanas, and cherries into a bowl and dust with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sifted flour, until coated. In a separate bowl cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, (if the mixture looks like curdling add in a small amount of the flour), then fold in the sifted flour. Add the fruit mixture, spices and the dissolved bicarbonate of soda. Mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the tin. 3. Bake for 2–2 ½ hours, testing after two hours. If a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, return to the oven. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for approximately 30 minutes then remove from the tin leaving to cool for 2 hours on a wire rack. For the almond paste: Place the icing sugar and caster sugar in a mixing bowl with the ground almonds. Add the egg yolks, almond essence and lemon juice. Knead to make a soft but not sticky dough. Turn onto a surface dusted with icing sugar, and knead until smooth. For the icing: Lightly whisk the egg whites in a large mixing bowl until they are just beginning to get frothy. Stir in a couple of spoons of icing sugar and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Gradually add the rest of the sugar, beating well between each addition. Stir in the glycerine which helps prevent the icing setting too hard.

How to: Decorate your Cake
Step 1 Roll out your almond paste. Using a plate (or the base of your baking tin) as a template cut around to get a perfect circle. Turn the cake upside down and brush the base with some apricot jam.
Step 2 Place the large almond paste disc on top of the jam. Next using a palette knife, spread the icing on the almond paste. While the icing is still soft use your knife to create peaks by lifting your knife from the icing in an upward movement.

If you don’t have a scoop, simply hand cut the melon into bite size pieces. 2. Cut the remaining half of the melon into chunks and place in a food processor to create a puree. 3. Pour some of the puree into the bottom of your serving glass and place 4–5 melon balls on top. Add a segment of orange and some orange juice. Top with crushed ice and add the pomegranate seeds.

Smoked Salmon & Filo Parcels
allow this to coat all of the vegetables and dry up any liquids in the pan. Pour in the white wine and allow this to bubble up and stir carefully. Pour in the milk and the cream and stir continuously until the liquids have thickened. 2. Add in the diced salmon and allow this to cook very gently until the salmon is lightly poached. The mixture should be quite thick so don’t worry about that. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped parsley. Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool. 3. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 6. Cut the filo pastry into squares approximately 5x5 inches. Brush single layers of filo pastry with melted butter and lay three layers on top of each other - putting each at an angle so that you end up with a star shape. Lay a slice of smoked salmon on top and repeat for the other parcels. Once the salmon mixture is cold divide that between the layers of smoked salmon and filo pastry. 4. Brush the edges with some melted butter and then decoratively secure the parcel into your desired shape and place on a baking tray. I normally gather them together at the top in a parcel shape. Brush with melted butter and place on a flat baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately with a side salad.

SuperValu Quality Irish Fresh Whole Turkeys 3-11kg
Kevin’s Christmas Turkey Serves 8-10 Ingredients: Turkey 6.5kg/14lb SuperValu Quality Irish Whole Turkey 90g/3oz SuperValu Butter 4 leaves of SuperValu Fresh Sage, finely chopped 7-8 SuperValu Streaky Rashers Stuffing: 150g/5oz SuperValu Butter 1 medium sized SuperValu Onion 225g/8oz SuperValu Sausagemeat 4 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Mixed Herbs, finely chopped 75g/3oz SuperValu Goodness Nuts ½ tsp Cinnamon Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/ Gas Mark 6. 2. Melt the butter over a very gentle heat. 3. Finely chop the onion and add to the butter and cook until very gently cooked but not coloured. Take off the heat, allow to cool slightly and then add the sausage meat, freshly chopped herbs and the breadcrumbs. The mixture should not be too dry as it will lead to a dry stuffing. 4. Season the stuffing, add the pine nuts and ground cinnamon and allow the stuffing to cool completely. The stuffing can be made a couple of days in advance if you wish. 5. Mix the 90g of butter with the finely chopped sage. Loosen the skin away from the breast of the turkey and rub the sage butter onto the breast under the skin. On Christmas morning stuff the turkey. Line the cavity with some baking parchment and loosely pack the stuffing into the bird. Don’t forget to weigh the turkey again with the stuffing enclosed (to assist with accurate calculations for cooking times etc). 6. Put the turkey onto a large roasting tray and lay the streaky rashers of bacon across the breast to protect the meat and prevent it from drying out. 7. Put the turkey into the oven. After the first
two hours cover with tin foil to prevent excessive browning. 8. Allocate 20 minutes per pound and then an additional 20–30 minutes in the oven. In total it should take about 4½ hours. When a skewer is inserted into the meat nearest the bone (ie the leg) the juices should run completely clear. 9. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes when it comes out of the oven before carving.

Turkey Top Tips Always double check that the turkey is properly cooked before serving. 1. It should be piping hot all the way through with no pink meat left. 2. The juices should run clear when the thickest part of the thigh and breast are pierced with a clean fork or skewer.
3. If your turkey is stuffed, the centre of the stuffing should be piping hot as this is the slowest part of a stuffed bird to cook. Prepared by Our Butcher Sage & Onion Stuffed Turkey Joint Perfect for Family

(If the mix gets burnt/caramelised slightly at the bottom, transfer to another pan to continue cooking and discard the spoiled chutney. Do not mix burned chutney into the rest of it.) Do not allow the chutney to boil as this will cause it to caramelise and discolour. 2. Transfer to clean sterilised jars and cover immediately. This recipe makes three 350g jars or two 500g jars. Make up to 3 months in advance and store in a cool dry place. Once opened keep refrigerated.

Roast Herb Stuffed Leg Of Lamb Serves 6-9 Ingredients: SuperValu Quality Irish Leg of Lamb, boned with shank end left intact - from the Butcher Counter 50g/2oz SuperValu Butter 1 large SuperValu Onion, finely chopped 2 SuperValu Garlic Cloves, crushed 1 tbsp Fresh SuperValu Thyme, chopped 4 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Flat-Leaf Parsley, chopped 175g/6oz Fresh White Breadcrumbs 50g/2oz SuperValu Fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Sage branches 1 tbsp SuperValu Plain Flour 300ml/1/2 pint Lamb or Chicken stock 1 tbsp Redcurrant Jelly SuperValu Cooks’ Ingredients Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas 5. To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a large frying pan and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so, stirring. Stir in the thyme, parsley and breadcrumbs and season to taste. Allow the stuffing to cool down at this stage. Press the stuffing into the tunnel of the lamb leg and season the joint all over. Arrange the herb branches around the outside of the lamb and tie to secure with string. 2. Place the lamb joint in a roasting tin, cover loosely with foil and roast for 2 hours, then remove the foil and baste well. Roast for another 30 minutes until just tender. If you like your lamb more well done, give it another 30 minutes cooking time. To check that it is cooked to your liking, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the meat and then watch the juice run out – the pinker the juice, the rarer the meat. When it is cooked to your liking, transfer to a carving platter and leave to rest in a warm plate for 30 minutes. 3. To make the gravy, place the roasting tin directly on the hob and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, then gradually add the stock, whisking until smooth after each addition and scraping the bottom of the tin to remove any sediment. Transfer the gravy to a small pan and whisk in the redcurrant jelly, then simmer gently until you have achieved the desired consistency. 4. When the lamb is rested, carefully cut away the herb branches and string and then carve into slices, holding the shank end of the bone.

Profiteroles Makes Approx 36 Ingredients: Profiteroles 125ml/4fl oz SuperValu Milk 125ml/4fl oz Water 1 tsp SuperValu Salt 15g/½oz SuperValu Sugar 112g/3¾ oz SuperValu Butter 275g/9½ oz SuperValu Flour 4 to 5 SuperValu Eggs 1ltr SuperValu Cream - whipped Ginger Biscuits - see page 66
Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Pour the water and milk into a saucepan and add the butter. Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and immediately add the flour. Place the saucepan over a low heat and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the side of the saucepan and forms a smooth ball (approximately 5 minutes). 2. Allow the mixture to cool slightly then add the eggs one at a time beating thoroughly after each addition, until the mixture is
smooth and glossy. Allow to cool. Fill a piping bag with a large nozzle with the cooled mixture and pipe walnut sized pieces onto parchment lined baking trays. 3. Bake in the oven for 30–45mins (profiteroles are cooked when they are golden brown and have no moisture in them). Place a hole in each profiterole using a skewer (to release steam) and scoop out any moist mixture or your profiteroles will collapse, you’ll use this hole to pipe the cream in once the profiteroles are completely cooled. Cool on a wire rack.
Profiterole Tree What you need: 36 Profiteroles, Biscuits (for decoration), Melted Chocolate, Piping Bag, Cream, Serving Plate
Step 1 Fill a piping bag with whipped cream and pipe cream into your profiteroles. To melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering hot water. Once melted remove the pan from the heat but allow the bowl to remain over the hot water as the chocolate needs to be melted as you build your tree.

Place in small bowls to serve.
Red Onion & Goats Cheese Tartlets Serves 12 Ingredients: Red Onion Marmalade 4 Medium SuperValu Red Onions, peeled and thinly sliced 150g/5oz SuperValu Dark Drown Sugar 3 tbsp Red Wine 3 tbsp SuperValu Cooks Ingredients Red Wine Vinegar 1 tsp SuperValu Olive Oil Tartlets: 1 packet of Puff Pastry-thawed naturally 1 quantity of Red Onion Marmalade (above) 150g/5oz SuperValu Goat’s Cheese SuperValu Sun Dried Tomatoes/SuperValu Cherry Tomatoes (12) Preparation: Red Onion Marmalade 1. In a large pot place the onions and the oil over a high heat. Continue to stir the contents to move the onions around and prevent them from sticking. As the onions begin to color and soften (after about 3 minutes) add in the dark brown sugar and continue to stir. The sugar will begin to soften and will coat all of the onions.
Red Onion & Goats Cheese Tarts
Allow the softened sugar to come to the boil gently. 2. Next add in the red wine and the red wine vinegar. Allow the mixture to come to the boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes or until all of the liquid has evaporated off. Make sure that you stir it occasionally to prevent anything sticking to the base of the pot. Transfer to clean sterilized jars and store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Tartlets 3. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas Mark 5. Roll out some of the puff pastry and cut out large discs with a biscuit cutter. Grease a 12-cup muffin tray and secure a disc of puff pastry in each cup. Place a sundried tomato in the bottom of each. Spoon in a little of the red onion marmalade-about one teaspoon full in each-not too much because it tends to leak. Place one thin slice of the goat’s cheese on top and season with a little black pepper. 4. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese and onion mixture is bubbling. Remove from the tin with a palette knife immediately.

Mini Raspberry Tartlets
Mini Raspberry Tartlets Makes Approx 22 Ingredients: 300g/10oz SuperValu Plain Flour 45g/1½oz SuperValu Icing Sugar 150g/5oz SuperValu Butter 1 SuperValu Egg, yolk only 2 tbsp Water 90g/3oz SuperValu Raspberry Jam 50g/1¾ oz fresh or frozen SuperValu Raspberries defrosted 1 tbsp SuperValu Caster Sugar Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. Place the flour, icing sugar and butter in a bowl and combine together until it resembles fine bread crumbs. Add the egg yolk and process until dough just comes together. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge until ready to use. 2. In a small saucepan heat the jam over a medium heat until dissolved. Add in the whole raspberries and stir until the raspberries are slightly broken down. 3. Roll out the pastry until 3mm thick. Use a 6.5cm diameter round pastry cutter to cut 22 discs from the pastry. Line the muffin tray with the pastry discs and prick the base with a fork. Roll out the remaining pastry and using a 5cm diameter starshaped cutter to cut 22 stars. 4. Spoon jam mixture among pastry cases. Top with stars and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden. Allow to cool. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
Mini Meringues Makes Approx 28 Ingredients: 3 SuperValu Eggs, whites only 175g/6oz SuperValu Caster Sugar ½ tsp Corn flour ½ tsp SuperValu Cooks Ingredients White Wine Vinegar Preparation: 1. Preheat oven to 120ºC/240ºF/Gas Mark ½. Put the egg whites into a spotlessly clean bowl and beat on full speed until quite stiffly beaten. Turn the speed of the mixer down and slowly add the sugar – one spoonful at a time. When all the sugar has been incorporated, add the corn flour and vinegar and give one final whisk on high speed. When ready the mixture should be glossy and when the bowl is turned upside down the mixture should remain stationary in the bowl. 2. Line an oblong baking tray (13 x 9 inches) with parchment paper. Using a piping bag, pipe the mini meringues to the size of a large walnut. 3. Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until the meringue mixture is very firm to touch but still soft on the middle. I normally leave mine to cool in the oven with the door ajar. Keep in a tight container until needed. Serve either alone or with some whipped cream and/or fresh fruits.

Turkey & Ham Pasties
The best thing about the days after Christmas – leftovers! Kevin has some great ideas that ensure nothing will go to waste.
Turkey & Ham Pasties Serves 4 Ingredients: 35g/1½oz SuperValu Plain Flour 250ml/9floz Chicken Stock 60ml/2floz White Wine 125ml/5floz SuperValu Fresh Cream 300g/10oz Chopped Cooked Turkey 90g/3oz Chopped Cooked Ham 1 SuperValu Egg Yolk, beaten 25g/1oz SuperValu Butter 25g/1oz SuperValu Mushrooms 2 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Parsley - Chopped 2 tbsp Chives 375g Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the flour to the melted butter and cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the chicken stock and white wine and cook for a further two minutes. Add the cream and bring the mixture to the boil until thickened. 2. Next add in the chopped turkey and ham and combine into the sauce, then stir in the mushrooms, parsley and chives. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. 3. Meanwhile roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a large rectangle. Cut in length halfways to give to wide pieces. Place one pastry sheet on the lined baking tray and place a couple of large spoonfuls of the cooled turkey and ham mixture in the centre. Carefully bring the edges of the pastry together, pressing the
Tips for Freezing Leftovers • Freezing turkey - remove the meat from the carcass and cut into slices or chunks suitable for casseroles, curries etc. • Use airtight containers or freezer bags and ensure no part is exposed as this can cause freezer burn. • Freeze leftover meats within two hours of removing from the oven to prevent bacteria from accumulating.
edges to seal. Trim if necessary, then brush over with the beaten egg. Repeat until all the mixture has been used. 4. Place the pasties on a baking tray lined with some parchment paper and place in the oven for 25–30 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with some cranberry sauce.

Cover the potatoes with cold water in a pan and bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Strain the potatoes and add the butter and milk, mash well to ensure there are no lumps. 2. Add the sprouts to the mashed potato and add the flour and seasoning, pour in the beaten egg. Using your hands combine all the ingredients together and turn out on to a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the mixture and take a scone cutter or ramekin to cut the mixture. Set aside. • Freeze individual portions so that the thawing and cooking process is easier, quicker and more convenient. • Label packages with the name of the items as well as the date of preparation and storage. Safe thawing: • Where possible allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator making sure items are covered. Alternatively you could thaw the

Christmas on a budget Enjoy Christmas, Be merry, but be centsable.

John Low e,
Fellow of the Institu te
of Banker s
5 Bernard Manning the comedian once quipped I bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying “toys not included” …While we still need our sense of humour, these are challenging economic times and especially at Christmas time, where every cent counts. Planning is everything. Christmas spending is usually never budgeted for and so the credit card or short term loan invariably comes to the rescue. Please be sensible this Christmas and plan what you are going to spend and importantly, where the money is coming from to fund that spend. So here are a few tips...
1
Make a list and after setting a spending limit, work out the cost of • Presents - covering family, friends and bursaries – binmen, postmen, your work colleagues etc • Additional Christmas costs - cards, decorations, tree/s, holly and wreaths • Food and drink for the festive period - checkout what’s on offer in-store • Entertainment - Funderland, cinema, pantomime, zoo etc. You know you are not going to sit in front of the television for the entire 12 day season and any excursions outside the home usually means spending money…so budget for this
Total all these costs - you are going to have to pay for them through either your own savings, an overdraft, loan or a credit card. The ideal of course is to fund from your savings and in particular where you have actually earmarked the current year’s savings for this precise purpose – the Christmas spend. If you have to borrow, try and ensure these borrowings whether a loan or credit card debt are repaid before next Christmas. Savings - the best course to take for your Christmas costs is to start saving the previous January – a Regular Saver or Stamp Saving Scheme – and put what you can afford away each month on a regular basis for 11 months – standing order or direct debit. This should be part of your monthly budget plan. Therefore the total amount of your Christmas bill should be divided by 11 to ascertain what that monthly saving amount should be. If you have not saved, you will need to borrow for the coming Christmas - but you then should plan to save DOUBLE from next January so as to pay for both this Christmas and the next. Borrowing - interest rates from your local credit union or your own bank tend to be among the cheapest options when it comes to short term finance. Avoid moneylenders at all costs. Overdraft. If you have to use an overdraft, ensure you do not exceed the limit and if you must, always call your bank branch and look for that permission for the increase. Credit card rates vary from 9.11% to 24%+ and virtually ALL the credit card companies charge well over 20% when you withdraw cash on a credit card from the date of withdrawal. However, there are a number of companies who offer 0% interest rate on transferring balances from another credit card company for up to 10 months. You might consider this in January if your credit record is good and you have a plan to reduce or pay off entirely within a certain time frame.
The Christmas aftermath - even the piper has to be paid and putting your head in the sand when the bills finally come through the door in January is not going to solve your problems if you have been a little heavy on the spending sauce. If you are in a hole, the first thing you have to do is stop digging. Communication is key and if you simply cannot afford the required repayments, negotiate and pay what you can afford. You will need a plan of when the debt will be regularised. Theoretically, you shouldn’t spend what you don’t have BUT we are all human and sometimes sense goes out the window. Perhaps that should be cents. Obtain professional help if you have to but do not ignore. Finally, don’t forget, Christmas comes around every year, so plan to save in January for next Christmas!
Above all, have a Happy Christmas and a peaceful, healthy and prosperous New Year. 62 SuperValu Fresh
Additional Tips If you have a large family Kris Kringle can be fun too as you may not know or want to know who gave you your present. It is also cheaper as you can set limits on the present to be bought. Food and drink at Christmas time • Have a pre-written shopping list – even Santa has one and never shop on an empty stomach! • Don’t buy on the double – you may already have the item in your cupboard so always check what you have in stock before making your list. • Pick up a SuperValu Special Offer leaflet which highlights offers and discounts in-store or log onto www.supervalu.ie for details on SuperValu’s latest offers. • Use vouchers and coupons – it is no shame to bring them into shops and supermarkets and save money. Don’t forget if you collect 600 Turkey points on your SuperValu Real Rewards Card, you can purchase your Fresh Christmas Turkey at Half Price. Also look out for coupons throughout this magazine. • Consider switching to SuperValu’s Own Brand Range where you can save 33% versus leading brands. • Buy in bulk. Presents do not always have to be of the pecuniary kind.. You could give one hour of your time to a favourite aunt or uncle to clean their car, cut their grass or simply visit. You could also offer your time to charitable works and causes – do a mini-marathon for charity and get fit at the same time! Christmas presents can also be bought all year round Once you have identified the person you should carefully choose the present and be prepared to buy some off-season – it can save you money and time. Gift tokens are always acceptable Giving shopping vouchers is now a more than acceptable gift and a subtle way to help out. Checkout SuperValu vouchers in-store, starting from €5.

Christmas Pregnancy Tips
Accept Help if it’s Offered Expectant mothers with other children should try to get as much help as possible before and during Christmas. Ask family and friends to help with babysitting, cleaning, baking and cooking. Accept help when it is offered and avoid having parties or big dinners at your house - family and friends will understand.
Christmas is such an exciting time for most people but it can also be a stressful time for expectant mums, with the extra pressure of shopping, travelling and endless rounds of entertaining. To help all you lovely pregnant ladies, we have put together some practical tips to keep the season as merry and stress free as possible.
Looking After Your Back Don’t underestimate the effect shopping, cleaning and decorating can take on your back, try not to bend the back too much when doing these activities. If a heavy item needs to be lifted, get someone else to do it. If you need to carry something yourself, you should hold it close to your chest and bend your knees instead of your back when lifting it up. It’s very easy to hurt your back, so take extra care of it when preparing for Christmas.
Early Christmas Shopping If you’re expecting, try to start your Christmas shopping early. Getting stuck in a panic just before Christmas can be extremely wearing and certainly not good for mother or baby. Prepare a shopping list and hit the shops weeks before the big day. Ask a friend or family member to help you if possible. With some time to spare, Christmas shopping can actually be enjoyable. Another option to keep in mind is to shop online and have your shopping delivered straight to your front door.

Don’t Forget Healthy Eating Over Christmas Eat little and often, six or so small meals throughout the day will help to boost your blood sugar levels (low blood sugar because of hunger can make nausea worse). Avoiding overfilling your stomach should help to lessen heartburn and indigestion, too. Include lots of complex carbohydrates, fresh fruits and vegetables too. Stay away from fried and spicy food.
Your
Gift EUMOM AND SUPERVALU ARE NOW WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT EVERY EXPECTANT WOMAN AROUND THE COUNTRY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT HER VERY OWN FREE EUMOM MOTHER-TO-BE GIFT BOX FROM HER LOCAL SUPERVALU STORE. EVERY GIFT BOX IS PACKED FULL WITH SAMPLES, COUPONS, LEAFLETS AND INFORMATION RELEVANT TO EVERY STAGE OF PREGNANCY.
HOW TO AVOID ALCOHOL WITHOUT EVERYBODY GUESSING YOU’RE PREGNANT
It is generally recommended that women should avoid alcohol during pregnancy, however if you are in early stages of pregnancy and do not want others to know it can be very difficult to know what to say. So, we’ve put together a list of suggestions to help you keep your pregnancy a secret from friends and colleagues until you want them to know.
Short Term
Excuses
“I ate something that disagreed with me last night and my stomach is a bit queasy.” “I’m the designated driver tonight so I can’t drink.” “I have to be up really early tomorrow morning and it’s not worth the hangover.”
A Lovely Pregnant Christmas Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the Christmas fun. We hope these tips will help alleviate some of the potential stress and strain expectant mums face during this wonderful festive season. Enjoy!

Dreaming of a white Christmas? You can’t beat a bit of snow on the ground to boost the festive feeling. But as we learned last winter, a big freeze around Christmas time can have a downside as well. Weather forecasters are predicting a cold snap similar to last year, so here are some steps to make sure you get the most from the festive season. • Don’t wait for winter to set in before you stock up on the essentials. Start with a shovel. A lot of people were trapped in their drives last year when the snow froze over. It can be tough work in the cold weather, but take a sturdy shovel to the snow before it freezes over and dig a path out to the road. While you’re at it, why not clear the footpath outside your house to make sure your neighbours can get by? If everybody on the road does this, life will be much easier.

• Make sure you also have a bag or two of salt to scatter on the drive to prevent it freezing over. A bag of cat litter will also do the trick. • A lot of people were left without water last year, so get in some bottled water and check you have a couple of large containers in case you need to fetch some from the neighbours. • Remember also to get a pair of ice grips to strap on to your shoes – a nasty fall on the ice is the last thing you need. And get in an extra pack of batteries and a few candles – you never know when they’ll come in handy.
Lighting your fire has never been easier! Ideal for lighting open fires & stoves Simple & quick to use Just add any solid fuel to create a beautiful full fire in minutes Clean, odourless and eco friendly
• If the weather is bad while you’re doing a big Christmas shop at SuperValu, don’t worry about getting all your items out to the car because we provide a delivery service right to your door. Just ask in-store for details. For opening hours and delivery service check www.supervalu.ie • A cold snap is a worrying and potentially dangerous time for your elderly neighbours.

Treat stains as quickly as possible. Remember any stain is more likely to be removed if you don’t allow it to set in. Ariel Stain Remover will help you with this. It is brilliant on tough stains even at 30 degrees.
Keep whites really white. Ariel Powders and Tablets (except Colour variants) all contain bleach, so they are great for your whites. Avoid colours fading. Ariel Gels/Liquids and Liquitabs have no bleach so they are great for coloured loads - especially the Colour & Style variants.
Fabric Conditioners
Fabric conditioners do a lot more than simply making your clothes smell great and feel nice and soft. They can reduce ironing time, make ironing easier, protect colours and decrease static cling. Have you tried the new Lenor Infusions range? It provides 7X longer lasting freshness.* *in storage vs. Lenor Pure Care Line Up.

SuperValu Fresh
Everyday odours get trapped in the fabrics in your home and, over time, are released back into the air. Febreze Fabric Refresher contains patented odour elimination technology that tackles these odours to help your home stay fresh. Spray fabric until damp. Febreze Fabric Refresher then removes odours as the fabric dries. On delicate fabrics, test first on a hidden area. Do not use on leather, suede or silk.
