Christmas Eve dinner recipes
If, like us, you love the continental approach to Christmas Eve – where the celebrations begin with a slap-up meal – we’ve got lots of Christmas Eve dinner recipes for you, including mains, starters and sides.
There’s a classic lasagne, make-ahead fish pie, slow-cooked beef stew, the best beef wellington and lots more. Duck and prune tagine makes a great dinner with a difference, as does our mulled wine-braised venison cobbler – comforting and delicious to boot. Finish off your meal on a sweet note with Rick Stein’s double-crust apple pie.
All these recipes are effortlessly elegant but hit just the right note for a special occasion. Scroll down for some Christmas menu ideas too.
