Thank you so much!

My darling you truly do need a tripod for the sake of the food shots while cooking. It truly makes cooking videos a fun experience for us viewers ❤️

My Mother & Grandmother were born in Madras India & I was born in Singapore before we all moved to Australia so our Christmas traditions when I was younger was a traditional English style Turkey & yes Cauliflower Cheese & beans & pumpkin & then we had various other dishes like chicken curries & basmati rice. We often ate at my Mother's home as she created a huge table for all the family. Mum stayed up all night Christmas Eve wrapping presents for everyone as she was very generous & her tree was full of gifts to greet us. As a young child my Mother (single after divorce) used to place many wrapped gifts in a pillowcase for us & place it at the foot of our bed during the night saying Santa had left the gifts. I was 10 when I found a gift in Mum's cupboard before it was wrapped & told it was from Santa but that was OK as my Mother did a wonderful job buying beautiful gifts for us. I buy my 2 cats SAFFRON-SKYE & SHANTIV heaps of toys & put their gifts in large gift boxes under our tree with 2 Christmas stockings each for them. I buy myself a gift or two & say its from my 2 babies to me. They are very clever to find the right gift for me a handbag or shoes. Love from COLLEEN & SAFFRON-SKYE & SHANTIV in beautiful QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

I’ve just got in so time to catch up with beautiful sparkling Lenora .. 🥰🎄🥰🎄🐾❤️

Leonora A Day! You are so delightful and wish that you could continue your daily vlogs after Christmas because in conjunction with your program for grandparents who are lonely your daily blogs would be so much needed and appreciated. Now, that said, I know you have a life and daily blogs may be too time intensive, but I suggest that you reduce the length of the vlogs to 15 minutes or so because we, too, are busy and have time constraints but you are delightfully infectious that we take the extra time to watch you. So, if you can consider a vlog a day shorter in content it would be great comfort to those depressed, lonely souls who need and would thrive on a dose of Leonora Love. And thanks for sharing the Cauliflower Cheese Recipe. ❤

Christmas is my favorite celebration and there are too many traditions I love! Christmas Eve candlelight service is very moving and gorgeous with the retelling of the birth of Jesus, singing beautiful carols and then finally starting with one candle until the entire congregation and choir is completely illuminated! Absolutely soul stirring and glorious! 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻 Of course, the traditional Christmas feast with everyone’s favorite dishes and desserts... and the leftovers are always something to look forward to by the entire family! But mainly it’s the family coming together to enjoy each other’s company, feast, sing, play games, watch football (American) and share lots of love and laughter! And my favorite is spending quality time with my family doing any and all of these things! When we are surrounded by gorgeous Christmas decor just makes it feel more festive. But the love and laughter is the best... with or without the decorations! 💗🎄💗

the cauliflower cheese, divine 🌷 gorgeous fresh salads, a picture oh health 🌷

Leonora This Looks Delicious. Will Have To Try The Recipe. Enjoy your Saturday evening. Xx 😉😊

The only way I can eat cauliflower is with a delicious cheese sauce! It always makes me think of my dear mum, who made great cauliflower cheese.

Oh my god we have the same grater. I am so excited xxxx I am making this on Christmas Day. It’s has been 40 degrees in Sydney last 2 days. Everything melts - Marie up drips off your face. We have seafood and salads on Christmas Day but this year we having a side of Leonora’s Cauliflower Cheese. Xxx

Just made chocolate fudge, my husband fav. As we were married on Feb this year he said he’s glad I like to cook. Really easy to do. Just milk , brown sugar , butter Nutella or dark chocolate mixed in with icing sugar. So good.❤❤❤❤❤

Looks delicious! Definitely going to give this a try xx

Love when you’re just talking naturally. Keep that up. You’ll grow your channel in no time. Don’t worry about nay sayers. As long as you’re honest ( honesty in growing your channel very important) and true to yourself you’ll do all right. You have great taste. Your style is sophisticated. Love that too. Careful about the hangers on’ers, even if their channel is doing well. You may not spot them right away. Love watching your channel. Keep it up beautiful girl!

Love it, I grew up with cauliflower and white sauce. Mum always put a touch of nutmeg in it. Really tasty.

Your cauliflower cheese looks scrumdiddleioucious! 😚👌🏻😃 I also love leeks in cheese sauce with a roast dinner. My late mother started a tradition of boiling a gammon to eat on Christmas Eve when I was a little girl, which I now do every Christmas Eve. However, the trick is to simmer the gammon in shandy water and add an onion that has been pricked all over with dry cloves... It tastes delicious, especially for cold cuts or sandwiches with brown pickle. On boxing day we always have cold cuts, bubble & squeek with various pickles! My mouth is watering at the thought of it. 🤤🫢😁

This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try the recipe. Love your kitchen vlogs! 🥰🎄

I so enjoy your videos Leonora! You remind me of my daughter who passed away 19 months ago. I used to make cauliflower with Dijon mustard and cheese for my kids and my mother made it for me too. I’m going to try your recipe. Thank you and please give your mother my compliments on raising such a lovely daughter. 💞

Hello my darlings, instead of parboiling the cauliflower try roasting it for 20 mins first!! The hubs wasn’t convinced when I first did this but now we don’t have it any other way x

Add some breadcrumbs on top with the topping….and even chopped up walnuts also works well too

A bit of sourdough to mop up all the yummy cheese would be a delicious addition 💕

Can you tell us the amount of butter that you use?

Mmmmm 😋 looks scrumptious - did I miss the Parmesan? Is it just to sprinkle on the top? xx

So happy to hear you celebrate Thanksgiving also. Being from the US I am not familiar with the one type of cheese you use, The Red Leicester Cheese. Was wondering what similar cheese can be used instead. Thank you for all your recipes and your efforts for a beautiful channel.

I enjoy when you cook different dishes on your channel. I get lots of new ideas as they are different than what we’d typically find in the US. Who else did you follow to learn how to cook, or did you learn mostly from your family?

Mn fennel gratin sounds also nice🍵

😍😍😍

Going to try this dish . Question is the oven 200 Celsius or Fahrenheit? I’m assuming it Celsius.

@LeonoraSmee95

Make Christmas Ambrosia and substitute pudding instead of sour cream or yogurt. I substituted cherries instead of cranberries. It is a favorite American Christmas treat and Marc will love it. Turkey or prime rib for Christmas dinner. I am in southeastern Pennsylvania. Yum, I love cheese.

Hey Leonora, in France, we celebrate on Christmas eve and Christmas day. I live in Wiltshire so when my French family is not with me, I stick to the English traditions although I'm tempting to make a lot of "amuses bouches" for Christmas eve instead of buying stuff that are not very tasty. I'll let you know how that goes and what I'm planning on making! On a different note, could you please share your recipe for Yorkshire puddings? Claire xx

I did not see the exact measurements for Cheese Sauce in your recipe.

Luv luv luv your vlog. FYI NEVER use already grated cheese. It contains plastic in order to hold the shape, and keep it from clumping. I buy a large piece of chees, grate it when I get it home before it goes into the refrigerator and store. I have THEE most amazing souther pecan pie recipe for you It containes a fair amount of whiskey and a small amount of chocolate chips. I make 30 of these pies for Christmas, and take to friends and neighbors house Christmas Eve

I love how one of the sausages gives Leonora a big sloppy kiss and then Marcus kisses her too!!!

Do you know what’s really nice a blue cheese sauce. Gorgonzola, Stilton, or any blue cheese you fancy. Same method as cauliflower cheese, Mac and cheese sauce. Just pick your favourite blue cheese. I bet Marc would like it. He is a connoisseur of blue cheeses. You can’t beat a nice cheese sauce. Leo do a video on Yorkshire puddings. You show us how you do them. Even if you end up making a Tod in the hole. When you have time. Try this method 50 g butter 50 g plain flour. One pint of milk. Warm the milk slightly in the microwave. If you want to make less do 25 g of flour and butter 1/2 pint of milk. If you need more milk add it. But usually following the gram method works bang on. And use a stainless steel whisk while cooking your sauce. It’s easier. Sorry for the long writing. 🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾👍
