Silver Screen Suppers – David Niven’s Christmas Rice Pudding

In 1967 actor David Niven was asked for his favourite festive recipes for a newspaper article.  As David’s second wife was Swedish, he explained their British/Swedish Christmas fare as follows, “Traditionally we have Swedish food on Christmas Eve and toast each other with mugs of glögg. After doing the whole Swedish bit, we celebrate Christmas Day with a typical English dinner of turkey and plum pudding. We wind up tons heavier, not speaking to anyone.”   I know the feeling David!  It’s all on the way very soon…     One of the recipes David shared with food writer Johnna Blinn was this lovely rice pudding.  Traditionally eaten at Christmastime in Sweden I made a vegan version for Bibelot and it was absolutely delicious.  Don’t forget to add the single almond!       David Niven’s Julgrot (Christmas rice pudding)   Ingredients: 1 cup long-grain rice 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 cup water 5.5 cups plant milk Two pieces of cinnamon stick, each about 1.5 inches long 1 tsp. salt Scant tablespoon of sugar 1 almond   Method: Scald rice with boiling water. Melt half the amount of butter, add to rice and water. Boil for 15 minutes (or until water is absorbed.) […]

Warming apple and cinnamon drink

This delicious and comforting drink is perfect for cold wintery nights, and so simple to make… Ingredients 3 sweet apples (we recommend Golden Delicious or Gala) If you don’t own a juicer, any fresh apple juice will do (the cloudy stuff tastes the best!) 1 tsp ground cinnamon     Method If you have a juicer, add the apples (cores and all!) one at a time. If not, then pour fresh apple juice into a cup or mug. Transfer the juice into a saucepan, add one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and stir. Simmer gently over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Pour into your favourite cup. Enjoy.   Serves 1       Chloë Owens
