The Schiller family Christmas Day celebrations were held at Chateau Glenunga this year. Our Christmas Day fare was a break from tradition. After all, who can compete with Mum's roast and plum pudding, or a Weber feast? So we did something else. David devised a group of dishes that reflected Australian Chritmas tradition that included seafood, pork and poultry. So we had prawn and fennel salad, followed by a pork terrine served with a pear and prune chutney; then roast quail on a bed of warm du puy lentil salad. I made dessert, a chocolate and prune torte. Present were my Mum; Ken; David, Julie, Jack, Alex and Meghan; and David and me. During the afternoon Leigh and Hayley popped in.
