All your christmas recipes in one place

From hassle-free Christmas dinner to edible gifts and more tap on the photo for the recipe!

These melt in the mouth pecan cookies are delicious!  They make a great gift.  My children used to make them every year and then gift them to relatives when they see them.




This festive side dish is perfect to make in advance and freeze.  I think it almost improves with time. I make a large batch and then freeze it in batches for Christmas day and then smaller amounts for other days over the holidays.




Who wants the pressure of last minute gravy?  Why not make this in early December, freeze and simply add turkey juices to the defrosted gravy to produce a delicious home made gravy in minutes!



These cookies leave the house smelling amazing!  They can be hung on the tree or used as place setting decorations.  They keep well in a air tight container and I find kids love making and decorating them too!




Brussel sprouts - They can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance, simply cover with wet kitchen paper and leave in the fridge and then it only takes 10-15 mins to cook on the day and they taste delicious!



This pavlova can be made a few days in advance, stored in an air tight container and assembled when needed.

Why not slow cook the ham on Christmas eve, enjoy it that evening and then serve it at room temperature.  This slow cooker version is hassle free and results in a deliciously moist ham.



This cheesecake is so nutritious you could eat it for breakfast!  The base is made from nuts, dates and coconut oil and the topping is strained yoghurt which I sweeten a little and decorate with pomegranate seeds, or whatever fruit or flavour you like.  This is always popular in my cookery demos, no matter what time of year!

This nutritious mocktail is so refreshing and a great aperitif!  Click on the image to see my reel on how to make it.

Once you have removed all the meat from the turkey you can make a fabulous stock by adding veg and herb stalks that you have collected over the past few weeks and stored in the freezer. Click above to learn how.
