Plan ahead but don’t be a slave to tradition.
If your family hates brussel sprouts & Christmas Pudding and the Christmas Cake gets fed to the birds after it sets rock solid in its tin – don’t do it.
Plan a meal that your family will enjoy. There are plenty of ways to give family favourites a festive touch.
How about Christmas pizza? Topped with turkey, Brie, chipolatas & stuffing.
Make your own festive burgers including cranberries and Camembert cheese.
Mince pie ice cream is now widely available for a lighter dessert.
Here is a recipe for Chocolate Chestnut Cupcakes, fashionable & seasonal.
Also, do you need all the trimmings? Do you really want to feel bloated, uncomfortable, guilty, overworked; with a kitchen looking like a disaster area on Christmas afternoon? Rein back your plans and give yourself an easier ride.
Keep it simple, give your family & friends a meal to remember for all the good reasons, and enjoy Christmas yourself.
