Santa Loves Quorn

It is official … Santa Claus loves Quorn
Well my six-year-old boy does, who, upon returning from school, has been dressing up in his Santa suit since the 1st December!  Last night’s sausage rolls were “brilliant and ace” … Quorn Sausage rolls of course, brushed with a little milk and browned in a medium oven.  We [...]
