I’ve never had Sherry before but felt that it was something that every Christmas should have so I jumped on the band waggon. I’m also big into rum at the moment so why not mix the two and try this… Ingredients: 45ml Rum 15ml Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry…

I love Thai food so any chance to go and chow down on some I’m there, and it’s even better when the option is to eat at Mango Tree in Belgravia!
