Give it some welly with Maria Elia’s fabulous vegan parsnip and porcini wellington. It’s a fail-safe option if you’re looking for a meat-free centrepiece which will entertain meat-eaters, veggies and vegans alike.

“Don’t be put off by the number of stages. Each element can be prepared a couple of days before assembling. The hedonistic scent of truffle amid woody mushrooms and caramelised parsnips makes this a decadent vegan centrepiece.” Maria Elia.
