Classic Christmas recipes
What makes a recipe a Christmas classic? These are the dishes that have stood the test of time, which we love to bring out each year as part of the rituals and nostalgia around a traditional Christmas dinner. Welcome to our one-stop shop of classics – and only classics.
Let’s be honest – the spuds are the star of the show, and perfecting them with our rosemary roast potato recipe will get that golden result you need. Go simple and try our easiest pigs in blankets, banish dry turkey with our wonderful roast turkey recipe and go all out on the other sides – fondant sprouts, spiced red cabbage, carrots and parsnips – you name it, we’ve got it.
As for the sweet stuff, try Michel Roux Jr’s yule log, Mary Berry’s rich fruit Christmas cake, deep-filled mince pies, and sherry trifle, to name a few.
