    If you follow me on Facebook or instagram you would have caught my excitement when Oprah Winfrey liked one of my photos on Instagram. Some suggested that this might be the peak of my online existence and perhaps I should just retire while I was on top.

    @oprah just liked my Instagram photo. O P R A H! Since we're obviously buddies now, think I should invite her to the farm for afternoon tea before her Brisbane show? ?

    I'm really bad at taking advice, so instead of retiring, I invited Oprah to afternoon tea at the farm while she's nearby for her An Evening with Oprah tour.

    Oprah landed in Brisbane overnight and while I'm yet to hear from her, I've stacked the fridge with all the trimmings needed to make this Christmas Antipasto Wreath at short notice.how to make a chrismtas antipasto wreath

    Christmas Antipasto Wreath

    Ingredients:

    4 avocados
    1 lemon
    salt & pepper
    ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
    4 slices proscuitto
    handful each olives, semidried tomatoes, diced feta cheese
    1 tbs capers
    chives, finely chopped

    Method:

    Peel, stone and mash the avocados. Zest half the lemon, the juice the whole lemon. In a large bowl combine the avocados, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper and chilli flakes.

    On a flat platter, spoon the avocado mash into a circle. Decorate the circle with the olives, semidried tomatoes and feta. Slice the prosciutto into ribbons and arrange on the wreath. Scatter with capers and sprinkle with the finely chopped chives. Serve with lavosh and bread sticks.

    So there you have it - a simple, stylish Christmas appetiser that's fit for a queen (or an uber-celebrity).

    If you bump into Oprah between now and Thursday, let her know the invite stands, otherwise I'll see her at the show on Thursday night.

    If Oprah came to tea at your place, what would you serve?

      I am so making this at Christmas - this is totally my kind of wreath. If Oprah came to my house, I'd just give her a plate of fudge. Sweet as.

      […] Sam – With our families on the other side of the planet, and our Sydney friends who are like family out of town, we’ll be all on our lonesome and we’re looking forward to laying as low as possible. The first year we came down under we attempted a full on roast dinner on the Big Day and it was so hot we nearly melted! Even after 8 years we still haven’t mastered the art of a hot Christmas but I’m thinking the big day will involve some beach time, some couch time and this Antipasto Plate.
