The festive period is the time where I get the most questions from readers: What do I put on the Christmas table that won’t have anyone missing the turkey? How do I make the very best roast potatoes? Is there such a thing as a gravy that pleases everyone? It's a time of year where people might be cooking vegetarian food for the first time or striving for something show- stopping, outside of their usual cast of vegetables.n the Guide : all the recipes and tips you will need for Christmas day, Christmas eve and all the days in between. You’ll also find a plan of action and timings for Christmas Day itself.

From Panetonne French toast to Cavolo nero spanakopita, the show-stopping Deep squash + confit garlic Christmas pie, to Clementine + yuzu margaritas, these are recipes that I hope will be favourites on your Christmas table for years to come.

I’ve also included ideas for leftover ingredients so you won’t be left with second-rate curries on Boxing day.
