⛪️ - What faith is this character? Do they celebrate Christmas, and if so, how much do they take the religious element of Christmas to heart? Does this character celebrate any other religious holidays during the festive season?
Isolde is catholic, but she isn't a greater devotee like her mother. Yes, she celebrates the X-mas. The most representative religious elements that Isolde uses is the Christmas Birth (she likes put under the tree, with the Mary, Joseph, the Jesus Child, the Archangel, the Three Wise Men and many animals. Talbott helps with the vegetation and applies "Herbivicus" to the poinsettias); the Carols songs, the posadas (but only the nearest to Christmas Eve) and breaks the Piñata (it's a representative of The Seven Sins):
Tumblr media
Isolde doesn't like to go to the church (thanks for her mother), but every Christmas gives the thanks for all, in special for her family (Talbott and their kids) and her friends are safe and her side. By the way, Isolde does The Guadalupe-Reyes Marathón. In The Three Kings Day (January 6th) she bakes rosca de reyes, makes hot cocoa and sometimes, sweet tamales (usually chocolate or guayaba flavor).
Since Talbott and Isolde have children, they give them gifts in January 6th like in Christmas, too.
Tumblr media
🍽 - What does this character eat on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? What is their favourite festive food? Their least favourite?
In Hogwarts, she hadn't many options than the traditional british dishes. She didn't have trouble (except with the Brussels sprouts salad, she hates them), but sometimes missed the mexican dishes.
But since she moved in with Talbott, they interspersed what eat in Christmas Eve and News Year Eve. Both cook in those days together:
The beverage: Fruits Punch with piloncillo/panela
Tumblr media
A warm drink of guayaba, tamarindo, cinnamon, tejocotes, sugar cane, raisins, prunes, apples green and yellow with a shot of ron, sweetened with piloncillo/panela. This drink is a mandatory in Christmas and News Year Eve.
Food entrance: Elbow soup with cream, jam and bell pepper.
Tumblr media
It's one of her favorites. But if they cook it in Christmas Eve; in News year Eve they eat spaghetti alla bolognese or cream soup (pumpkin, corn or poblano pepper), and vice versa.
Main course: Turkey or Christmas Romeritos
Tumblr media
Isolde's favorite recipe for turkey is with a nut sauce (nogada) with a sweet stuffing ground beef with nuts.
Tumblr media
Romeritos, by other hand, is a dish with shrimp, cambray potatoes, romeritos and poblano mole. She loves the mix of spicy and sweet flavor of the mole, usually she eats with bread. Isolde cooks it in Lent season, too.
Dessert: British Christmas pudding or Rice pudding
Tumblr media
Like Talbott, Isolde is a sweet tooth. And they can't forget the dessert. sometimes Isolde cooks the classic X-mas pudding; in others, her favorite, Rice pudding:
Tumblr media
Her least favorite is a spanish dish, but in Mexico usually the people eat it in this season: Basque Style Codfish Stew. She doesn't like codfish and dislike the salty flavor and olives. And the making is lately, because the coldfish has put in water for days.

Feasting in Faro - A Foodie's Restaurant Guide
From the quaint old town to the fascinating collections of the archaeological museum, Faro has a lot to offer the discerning holidaymaker. Often overlooked, however, is the city's burgeoning reputation as something of a foodie's paradise, with restaurants offering some of the region's finest seafood. What's more, with Faro's growing popularity as a destination in its own right, you can now sample its delights with minimum hassle. From frequent and inexpensive flights to a choice of easily pre-booked Faro airport transfers, there has never been a better time to get a taste of the real Algarve.
Tumblr media
Here are our top tips: four restaurants that are off the tourist trail, and positively brimming with culinary delights.
Republica Restaurant Dinner at Republica is like dinner in your grandmother's front room, if your grandmother could rustle up Faro's finest fig tartlets and expertly grill squid. This snug cantina is centrally located near the marina, making dinner here the perfect end to a long day of sightseeing. Republica seats just 24, so be sure to book in advance, and prepare to settle in for an evening of hearty traditional food accompanied by an affordable selection of Portugal's finest wines.
Le Marquis If you are willing to stray a little further from the beaten track, Le Marquis is well worth the extra effort. Situated just north of Faro in a sprawling farmhouse, the restaurant combines high quality food with captivating views of the surrounding countryside from the charming terrace. Play it safe with classics like venison fillet, or for a more exotic treat, try the oxtail-stuffed squid.
Adega Nova Situated close to the Maritime Museum in an old tiling warehouse, the quirky decorations lend this restaurant a rustic atmosphere, while the seasonal menu ensures a fresh take on traditional cuisine. From monkfish rice to garlic calamari, there are many popular choices to satisfy your seafood cravings. For something a little unique, be sure to check out the regional specials, many of which you would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in the city.
Faz Gostos For a luxury finale to your culinary exploration of Faro, head to Faz Gostos. Since opening in 2009 it has repeatedly expanded due to popular demand, all without sacrificing a crumb of quality. The elegant surroundings provide an apt backdrop to the creations of head chef Duval Pestana, who reimagines traditional ingredients in novel pairings. The oven-baked salted codfish with scallops, in particular, is not to be missed; and your waiter is sure to provide the perfect recommendation for an accompanying tipple from their extensive wine list.
How to Get There Arguably one of the easiest European cities for enthusiastic foodies to get to, Faro is now served by several major airlines throughout the year. Although many flights to the city are operated by low cost companies, don't be put off if you prefer to start your holiday in style: there are options available for every budget. After you land, I would recommend looking into pre-booked Faro airport transfers to get you to your hotel, so you can be met at the arrivals gate and have the luggage taken care of. By making use of Faro airport transfers, you can also side-step many of your fellow passengers who will be making a beeline for the all-inclusive resorts down the coast.

In this article we focus on some of the top Portuguese foods and their Portuguese recipes. Traditional Portuguese cuisine is mainly based on seafood, meat(especially pork) and fish which they grill, fry or cook in casseroles or stews. Their customary side dishes are rice, simple salads and potatoes. Portugal is also well known for sweet and rich desserts. Below are top foods with recipes that you can try.

The Portuguese are known for having a sweet tooth and their local pastry shops and bakeries are always stocked with delicious delights. Many local desserts are based on eggs and are creamy sometimes nonetheless they are sweet and rich. Enjoying desserts based on eggs after meals is quite common. Watch out for leitecrème: it is an egg custard that has a hard topping of caramel just like crèmebrûlée. Another one is the Arroz Doce which is a pudding made of rice. It can be made using condensed milk or even eggs but must always be flavored using cinnamon and lemon.
·         Bacalhau

This green soup only traditionally has five ingredients ;onions, potatoes, chorizo sausage, olive oil and thin slices of kales. Not only is it cheap, it is also the best comfort food. This beloved national food is easy to find in almost every part of Portugal. This soup goes well with broa which is Portuguese cornbread that has a crusty exterior and a very soft interior.

All these ingredients should be cooked in one pot with ingredients being added at various times.

Pantry Staple Baking
We’ve rounded up a collection of recipes that utilize your everyday pantry ingredients. In the recipes below, feel free to switch up your spices, jams, nuts, garnishes, and more with whatever you happen to have stocked in your kitchen. Don’t be afraid to customize the flavor profiles to fit your baking needs! 
Caramelized Banana Bread
Tumblr media
Crowned with golden Caramelized Banana halves and offering a hint of cinnamon flavor, this loaf is all about taking the banana to the nth power of sweetness. If you don’t have sour cream, you can substitute full fat regular yogurt or crème fraîche.
2. Hazelnut-Banana Sour Cream Muffins
Tumblr media
With a toasty Hazelnut Streusel topping and the tender crumb of banana bread, these muffins are a welcome treat for any morning. If you don’t have hazelnuts, feel free to swap them out with whatever nut you have on hand.
3. Johnny Bread
Tumblr media
Every Sunday morning in households and eateries across Bermuda, johnny bread is served with boiled potatoes, bananas, and codfish. With a golden-brown exterior and tender, fluffy crumb, johnny bread is versatile enough to enjoy with dinner or as a snack smeared with jam or honey. Traditionally, Bermudians cook the dough shaped into a disk or cut into a scone-like wedge in a hot skillet. For our recipe, we bake the bread for a few minutes after frying.
4. Cardamom Flourless Chocolate Cake
Tumblr media
The beauty of this cake is the crackled top, which, combined with the cardamom-scented cake, yields the perfect mix of crispy, soft, chocolaty goodness in a single bite. If you’re running low on flour, this is the cake for you!
5. Classic Soda Bread
Tumblr media
A traditional take on quick bread, this soda bread recipe is brought to life by buttermilk and baking soda. These two ingredients combine to create a crunchy crust and a subtle tartness that’s definitively mouthwatering. Plus, this recipe requires only a few pantry ingredients and you can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon (15 grams) white distilled vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup (240 grams) whole milk.
6. PB&J Blondies
Tumblr media
This blondie recipe makes the most of two pantry staples: peanut butter and jelly! In a throwback to your favorite childhood lunchbox item, we added luscious swirls of grape jelly and extra peanut butter to the top of our peanut butter-rich batter. Swap out the grape jelly for your favorite flavor.
7. Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Tumblr media
A grown-up chocolate cake, this olive oil stir-together batter has sophisticated cocoa notes complemented by a deep, dark ganache frosting. If you’re running low on butter, this cake is good option because it relies on olive oil for its fat content.
8. Cinnamon Jam Loaf
Tumblr media
Filled with sweet, jammy swirls and topped with a nutty streusel, this quick bread makes for a hearty breakfast or tasty dessert. Substitute the jam for whatever fruit preserves or spreads you have at home. If you’re out of cinnamon, use nutmeg, allspice, or cardamom to spice things up instead.
9. Orange-Cardamom Loaves
Tumblr media
Dripping with sweet Orange Glaze and scented with warm cardamom and vanilla, these loaves are absolutely mouthwatering. This recipe also relies on pantry staple vegetable oil rather than butter to impart tenderness to the crumb. 
10. Sour Cherry Shortbread Linzer Cookies
Tumblr media
These are the best sandwich cookies you’ll make this summer. A tiny bit of citric acid in the cookie dough creates a zesty sour cherry flavor, which balances out the buttery shortbread cookies. You can fill these linzer cookies with any jam or  preserve you like, and you can nix the citric acid in the cookie if you don’t have any!
11. Toasted Almond Sablés
Tumblr media
Président® butter makes these sparkling sablés the ultimate buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Here, it imparts a creaminess that complements the flavor of toasted almonds exquisitely. Président is France’s number one butter and our go-to for all crumbly French cookies. 
12. Lime Shortbread Bars
Tumblr media
Classic shortbread gets a summertime makeover in these zesty Lime Shortbread Bars. Adding lime zest to the dough adds a bite of freshness and plays up the buttery flavor of shortbread you know and crave. You can freeze the uncooked dough and bake off as you need! 
13. Cheesy Beer Bread
Tumblr media
This cheesy loaf comes together easily but packs a whole lot of flavor! Use your favorite pale ale and Monterey Jack cheese, or whatever you happen to have on hand.
14. Marble Sheet Cake
Tumblr media
Swirls of rich chocolate batter and sweet almond batter combine to create this stunning sheet cake. Top with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar for a simple yet elegant finish. You can flavor the almond batter with any other extract you happen to have on hand. 
15. Peanut Butter Cookies
Tumblr media
Chewy, cakey, and full of addictive nuttiness, this fuss-free recipe checks off all the boxes for the ultimate peanut butter cookie. Plus, it’s the supersize bakery style you know and love. You’ll turn to these again and again when the late-night cravings call.
16. Blueberry Muffin Bread
Tumblr media
For all the blueberry muffin fans out there, this one’s for you. With a tender, buttery crumb packed with juicy blueberries and a crunchy sugar-coated top, this Blueberry Muffin Bread is the loaf pan version of everyone’s favorite muffin.
17. Oatmeal Cherry Walnut Cookies
Tumblr media
These Oatmeal Cherry Walnut Cookies by Marian Cooper Cairns are the summer cookie you’ll be eating all season long. Who needs raisins when you can have a much bigger, even sweeter flavor impact with plump dried cherries? If walnuts are not your jam, pecans or hazelnuts are great substitutes. Be sure to toast the nuts for optimal flavor. Baking at 350°F (180°C) until the nuts smell slightly fragrant, about 8 minutes, will do the trick. 
18. Classic Olive Oil Cake
Tumblr media
A staple in most Mediterranean kitchens, this light and barely sweet cake is perfect for an afternoon snack or late morning tea. A final brush of olive oil just before serving brings the fruity flavor to the front of your palate as soon as you take a bite. Olive oil takes the place of butter in this rich cake. 
19. Flourless Fudgy Cookies
Tumblr media
Chocolate lovers will swoon over the rich texture of these Flourless Fudgy Cookies! Top with walnuts, your favorite nut, or whatever nut you happen to have on hand.
20. Do-It-All-Dough
Tumblr media
This miracle recipe can go sweet or savory, depending on the baker’s whim. This flexible enriched dough will become the most trusted recipe in your bread repertoire. Luxuriously rich with milk, butter, an egg, and just a dash of sugar, the Do-It-All Dough can become the tender base for both Almond Cream Rolls and Garlic Herb Clover Rolls. So feel free to fill and top with any of your favorite ingredients. 
21. Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Tumblr media
This endlessly customizable classic comes together in a flash. The warm notes of vanilla complement the subtle tanginess from the sour cream beautifully in the irresistibly tender crumb. When topped with the nutty crunch from the almond-cinnamon streusel, it’s pure magic.
22. Classic Vanilla Pound Cake
Tumblr media
You can choose your flavor with this incredibly simple, perfectly sweet pound cake. Go almond, lemon, or vanilla. Top with your favorite glaze, chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar. The possibilities are endless!

Brandade de Morue (Codfish Potato Bake)
Tumblr media
We’re not travelling too far this Tuesday, unless it’s in mine and Jules’ school-days memories, and incidentally, to her birthplace. You see Brandade de Morue, a codfish and potato bake, originates from Southern France, Languedoc, Roussillon, were my sister was born. It was also, in the nineties, a frequent staple of school lunches, and back then, there was not so much interest about using good, fresh produce to make school dinners, and it was always industrially produced, often both too salty and bland. 
As Winter is settling in firmly, with temperatures dropping below zero when the sun disappears (sometimes even whilst it shines), I thought a potato and fish casserole would be a warming and comforting dinner. When I announced it to Jules, though, she was skeptical. I held my breath when she ate the first spoonful, but she deemed my Brandade de Morue “very good indeed”, so all I say is, you should try it!
Ingredients (serves 4):
400 grams/ ounces salted cod fillets
770 grams/ pounds potatoes
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
nutmeg
1 large garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
a buch of fresh chives
1/3 cup olive oil
The day before, place salted cod in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Drain, rinse and cover with cold water, every couple of hours, about four times.
The next day, peel and cube potatoes into a large pot. Add coarse sea salt, and cover with water. Bring to the boil, over medium-high heat, and cook, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meawhile, bring water to the boil in a medium saucepan. Once water is boiling, add de-salted codfish and boil, 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and let cool completely. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 205°C/400°F. 
Grease baking dish with olive oil. Cut the garlic clove in halves, and rub one half all over the baking dish; set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and mash them thoroughly with a potato masher. Grate in about 1/4 teaspoon of the nutmeg. Mince garlic and add to the pot, along with cracked black pepper. Finely chop chives, and add to the pot as well. Flake in cooled codfish. Give a good stir, with a wooden spoon, to combine. Then, stir energetically as you gradually pour in olive oil in a stead stream, to emulsify. Potato and codfish mixture will become paler, almost white, and smoother.
Spoon potato and codfish mixture into prepared baking dish, levelling with the back of the spoon, and place in the middle of the hot oven. Bake, at 205°C/400°F, for 25 to 30 minutes, until just golden brown on top.
Serve Brandade de Morue hot, with dressed lettuce and Croûtons.
