On Wednesday 2nd December, a delicious luncheon was served to the Aberdeen Book Club by Mabel Joubert of Tohito. In a wonderfully cool setting surrounded by one of the most beautiful gardens in Aberdeen, the book club members all enjoyed Mabel’s hospitality. The table arrangement was festive in keeping with the season, red the being the predominant colour. Starting the luncheon, sherry was served with an ice cold fruit dish. Ham with a cherry sauce was one of the main meat dishes and a quiche filled with spinach and cheese was mouth watering. The several salad dishes on offer, were crisp and tasty, and complimented the meal. Appropriately the first of the seasons Christmas pies with ice cream and a hot chocolate sauce was the sweet dish.
Each Club Member brought a present, and the presentation of a gift was made to Janet Prestwich who sadly will soon be relocating from Aberdeen to East London.
The luncheon was a happy way to end a year of ‘good reads’. The Aberdeen Book Club reconvenes at the end of January 2010.
