Cat: Today our guest is Isobel Starling. Hello Isobel. Are you ready for Christmas?

Favorite cookie: I adore making Christmas cookies. I spent my childhood in Germany and so am drawn to baking cookies that remind me of the scents of my childhood. My favourite cookies at the moment are called Vanilla Kipferl, they are a light buttery cookie that is shaped like a crescent and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They melt in the mouth and are so delicious when they are just out of the oven! A batch of these cookies doesn’t last long in my house! https://platedcravings.com/german-christmas-baking-vanillekipferl/
Last minute shopper or early bird? I am a last-minute shopper and nowadays I just buy gift cards so my family can buy what they want, not what I think they want. We all buy too much and the whole reason for giving gifts has been lost in the race to buy bigger, better and increase the quantity of gifts. I would rather my family chose what they needed so gift cards are the best choice.
Favorite holiday activity? Sleeping!
Decorating when you begin do you go all out. I don’t go all out anymore. I once worked as a designer on Christmas events and for that job I had to dress so many trees it nearly drove me batty. I’ve become quite the minimalist. I have a silver/white colourscheme and go for classy decorations and lighting. Less is more!
Traditional dinner or something else? We always have a traditional dinner at home. We did try going to a hotel last year but missed the home comforts and the restaurant we chose for Christmas dinner was awful. I’m looking forward to having my home comforts this year.
Fruitcake: Yay or Nay? I do love fruitcake however, I cannot eat whole nuts and so I always have a hard time with Christmas deserts as nuts are very much a big part of most recipes!

Monday 20th December 1897.
Mr. Benedict Hannan, the owner of Hannan’s Auction
House in Fitzrovia, receives a letter inviting him to attend the sale of a
private collection of Fine Art and antiquities belonging to the Late Lord
Percival Ardmillan. Ardmillan is known to Benedict, or rather his son Euan is,
and so, Benedict hurriedly travels to the West Highlands to fulfill his dream
of owning a particular item from the Lord’s collection—something that he has
coveted for thirty years.
In Scotland, Benedict meets the collectors who were invited to bid in the
auction. He discovers that the auction of the private collection is not as
straightforward as he had imagined. Forced to come to terms with his past and
present desires, Benedict finds himself in the thrall of a mysterious traveler
and in turn, gets more than he bargained for this Christmas!
Meet Isobel Starling
