Christmas Conversations: Bianca Lorenne - Alison Nottingham

Who are you going to be spending Christmas with this year and where?
This year we will spend our Christmas at my daughters with the rest of our family. She has recently renovated and has a fabulous new outdoor are so we are hoping for a fine day.

The main Christmas meal, is this through the day or in the evening? What do you hope will be on the menu?
We work around partners going to their families so it is mixed up between day or evening. Definitely a glazed leg of ham is always on the menu, along with Mexican grilled sweetcorn on the charcoal bbq and some delicious salads. A cocktail or two in a Bianca Lorenne cocktail glass and an Eton Mess in our new glass pedestal bowls!

Is there a recipe you could share?
Mexican Grilled Sweetcorn from the Chelsea Winter Supergood book is always a favourite with fresh in season sweet corn.

What’s your top pick as a Bianca Lorenne gift this year?
The new hammered glass pedestal bowls are fabulous for fruit bowls, salads and desserts or just displaying your trinkets, floating flower heads and candles 😊

And what are you hoping is wrapped under the tree for with your name on it
Ideally the new Cabana The Lesage Collector's Limited Edition most beautiful book but that might be a big ask 😊
