Gastropost is all about sharing: Each week we give you a food mission to complete and share with your fellow members. This week, we’re once again celebrating the holidays with a special mission: Instead of encouraging your own gastronomic adventures, we’re asking you to give something delicious to someone else. That being said, you can also complete this mission by simply showing us any edible gifts you yourself receive.
Mission Inspiration
Meaghan Chu @mselephantheart Is it a bird? A plane? It’s a Cornish game hen
“Are you on my naughty or nice list?” Gastroposter Esme Smith asked when she shared this bonanza of biscotti (in malted milk, chai tea and cherry, lemon and thyme flavours). We hope we’re on the nice list, as we’d love to receive such gorgeous giftable goodies. What treats will you share this holiday season?
CJ Festejo @ceejayef Yule log for dessert
Melanie Chui @afa18mel Gingerbread house to ring in the festive season
Claire Lassam @clairelivia Bourbon caramel swirl marshmallows
Sue O’Brien @sueob62 My new preferred drink. I call it a Christmas Carol
Gastropost it
Whatever you eat in order to complete the mission, the important part is sharing it with the Gastropost community. There are several ways to do that:
Shekar Ram @shekar15 Shortbread, white chocolate chip and gingerbread cookie
Emily Kwan @emilyckwan Gingerbread men
Cerria Antika @chantiqa4 Roasted butternut squash with garlic and rosemary
Amber Turnau @amberturnau Butternut squash, cranberry and goat cheese crostini
