Advent Calendar 25 – Joy to the World!

by Catherine • December 25, 2020 • 1 Comment

I’ve saved this carol for last because Christmas Day is all about the big descants (musically speaking, anyway – there is, I understand, also a theological meaning to the day…), and this is a descant I’ve wanted to sing for…

Advent Calendar 24 – The Shepherds’ Farewell

by Catherine • December 24, 2020 • 0 Comments

This is an old favourite from my shopping centre carolling days back in the 1990s. We always referred to this piece as ‘carols on acid’, because of the trippy key changes, and perhaps also because Berlioz was a 19th century…

by Catherine • December 23, 2020 • 0 Comments

Advent Calendar 22 – Ding Dong Merrily on High

by Catherine • December 22, 2020 • 0 Comments

This is a carol that probably needs no introduction – except, perhaps, to note that it really ought not to be sung this fast, but there was a lot of hooning going on on the street outside, and the faster…

Advent Calendar Day 21 – In the Bleak Midwinter

by Catherine • December 21, 2020 • 0 Comments

I’ve always loved this carol, mostly for its gorgeous lyrics. I can never decide which tune I love more, but since I’m not a tenor, for one-woman choir purposes it has to be the Holst version. Today is the summer…

Advent Calendar 20 – Away in a Manger (Normandy tune)

by Catherine • December 20, 2020 • 1 Comment

I have loved this arrangement of Away in a Manger ever since I first saw it in the old green Oxford Carols Book. Later editions didn’t include it, I suspect because people sing Away in a Manger to please the…

About this Blog

Welcome to my online table! My name is Catherine and I love feeding people. By day, I am a Division Co-ordinator in a medical research institute. By night – or by weekend – I am generally found cooking like a maniac, rejoicing in farmers’ markets, or talking endlessly about food.

While I am an omnivore, the vast majority of recipes on this blog are vegetarian, and many more are vegan, gluten-free or allergy friendly. You can find them through the menus above, or click on What if there isn’t enough food? to learn more about this blog.

Enjoy!
