Christmas Festive Fare Roundup – An easy to source selection of fabulous festive fare recipes from Lavender & Lovage, all in one place for ease and convenience. Happy Christmas to all my readers!
Your One Place Post for Christmas Recipe Ideas
Hello and welcome to my Christmas Festive Fare Roundup post! Today I am sharing a selection of Christmas and New Year inspired recipes, in one place to make it easier for you to browse and select some, hopefully, to make and bake. There’s a stunning centrepiece Vegan dinner, a cheese board that will delight all who see it, as well as pies, tarts, veggies, baking and of course that all important cocktail. All of the recipes are tried and tested, several times in many cases, and a couple are featured in my newly published cookbook, Lavender & Lovage: A Culinary Notebook of Memories & Recipes From Home & Abroad. I’ve listed all the recipes below by category: starters, sides, mains and puddings etc, as well some baking ideas and a few quick sweet treats too. I will be back before Christmas, but wanted to post this now so you all have time to go shopping to buy the ingredients. Enjoy perusing the following list and please let me know what you choose too!
