Christmas market and goodies

With December just around the corner the AL LAGO kitchen is buzzing getting ready for our CHRISTMAS MARKET on the tenth. At AL LAGO farm this year we had a bumper harvest of organically raised Marcona almonds .We have been pounding and peeling for days and are now preparing the Spanish classic
Turron de Yema.The sweet almonds are crushed and mixed with egg yolks, lemon zest and cinnamon then cooked in a syrup of vanilla and sugar.
Come and try some, taste some, buy some at our Christmas market next Saturday, the 10th December between 11.00 am and 5.00 pm. An array of local artisans will be selling their wares, ranging from leather goods, stoneware pottery, stained glass, jewelry, hand painted greeting cards, Aran wool and laceware scarves and children's clothes, beeswax candles, natural soaps, herbal aromatherapy bags, German cookies and waffles, organic jams and vegetables, textiles and bags.
Al Lago will be preparing Indian street foods, tandoori pinchos and lamb kebabs, veggie samosas and Mona's mulled wine alongside homemade mince pies, Linzer cookies, banana date breads, chocolate fudge.....you get the idea! Hope to see you then and remember Al Lago is open every day throughout the festive season for lunch except Wednesdays and for dinner Fridays through Mondays and feast days .
