1. A Slow Morning Cinnamon Brioche Wreath
Perfect for: Christmas morning breakfast or a festive brunch
Vibe: Warm, relaxed, still in your slippers
The Recipe
A cinnamon brioche wreath is the ultimate “slow morning” bake — pillowy-soft dough, swirled with cinnamon sugar and shaped into a beautiful wreath that looks far more impressive than the effort required.
How to make it:
-
Prepare a simple enriched dough (warm milk, yeast, flour, butter).
-
Spread with cinnamon, sugar and a touch of nutmeg.
-
Roll, slice lengthways, twist and shape into a wreath.
-
Bake until golden and drizzle with a light vanilla glaze.
It fills the house with that unmistakable Christmas scent — the perfect way to start the festivities.
What We’re Wearing:
For slow seasonal mornings, comfort is key.
We’re slipping into the Magda Cow Print Midi Dress — a beautifully soft, 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton style that brings just the right amount of print. Its relaxed silhouette is made for ease, whether you’re plating pastries or unwrapping gifts.

How to make it:
-
Stuff the chicken cavity with halved oranges, garlic and fresh rosemary.
-
Rub the skin generously with butter, sea salt and orange zest.

Roast slowly until golden and crisp.

Serve with roasted carrots, thyme potatoes and seasonal greens.
It’s a centrepiece that feels both comforting and refreshing.
