With just over a month to go until Christmas, the festive season is officially in full swing. Twinkling Christmas lights are adorning streets across the country, and the enticing aroma of seasonal treats is filling the air. Joining the festive cheer is Gail's Bakery, which has just launched its highly anticipated Christmas menu for 2024, promising a delectable array of goodies to get you in the holiday spirit.
Among the tempting offerings, one particular item stands out: the Raclette Escargot. Fear not, this is no garden critter, but rather a scrumptious pastry creation. This delectable treat features croissant dough swirled with a rich rarebit sauce, complemented by the flavourful combination of parmesan, sweet caramelised onions, spiced red cabbage, and cranberries. To top it off, a generous drizzle of jalapeño-infused hot honey and a sprinkle of fresh thyme complete this truly unique festive experience.
Alongside this innovative offering, Gail's also brings back beloved Christmas classics, including the Sticky Brioche Christmas Buns, boasting a comforting cinnamon and vanilla frangipane filling. For those seeking festive pantry staples, the Currant and Sour Cherry Loaf and Green Tomato and Apple Chutney are sure to be welcome additions to any holiday table.
This year, Gail's takes a bold step into the realm of panettone, introducing a range of these traditional Italian sweet breads. Crafted using a sourdough starter and generously studded with dried fruits, peels, and nuts, the panettone comes in three enticing flavours: Pistachio and Lemon, White Chocolate and Mandarin, and the classic Candied Fruit. The white chocolate and mandarin variety is particularly tempting, and is sure to be a popular choice for sharing with loved ones during the festive season.
For those craving a Christmas sandwich, Gail's offers a Christmas Smoked Turkey and Swiss Cheese Sandwich, perfect for a festive lunch. Rounding out the menu are Mince Pies, made with the sweet Jonagold apples, providing a classic touch of Christmas cheer.
The Christmas menu is now available at all Gail's bakeries, inviting you to indulge in a delightful selection of festive treats that are sure to bring a touch of magic to your holiday season.
