Anti-Stress Sweetmeats

Each year many of us look forward to the festive season, but as it fast approaches, for many it can often feel less like the way it is portrayed to be as the season of gift giving that culminates in idyllic family get-togethers, and more like a huge stress festival.

There is too much to do and too little time to do it in, as we frantically run around trying to find the best gift for Great Aunt Maud, whilst sorting out the food shopping, festive menu and so, so much more!

To help Course Director Zoi Maraki is sharing her recipe for a stress busting seasonal treat that can be made quickly to help ease the stresses of the season. Keep in mind as this recipe contains nuts it is not suitable for making if you have a nut allergy.
