So when you’re preparing for that party or dinner that you’re looking forward to tonight, make sure you treat yourself to a real good drink. As we learned how to make our own Glühwein yesterday, I’m sure you have a batch in the fridge by now. So get that bottle out and make a real good ice cold Glühwein cocktail! Check out today’s episode and I’ll show you how! **Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar: > ** > There’s so much to say about Plura that I don’t even know where to begin. He’s the singer in Eldkvarn , a really big Swedish band, he’s just released his own cook book, he’s writing food reviews for the newspaper City and he’s soon to have his own cooking show in TV. So why not practice on Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar, after all he doesn’t have any Christmas recipes in his book. Learn how Plura makes his own Glühwein, or Glögg as we call it in Swedish. **Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar: > ** > What to do in London on a cold Thursday night?
