on Dec 23, 2022 Planning a Christmas menu is hard work – we know! But what if we gave you a list to choose from? A nice, thoughtfully curated list so that you don’t have to look for inspiration anywhere else. Choose from recipes ranging from easy to moderate (we don’t believe in too much hard work around here!) that you can include in your Christmas menu this year. The best part? We have vegetarian options and Indian options, so if you want to do something different, we got you covered there too! If I had to pick, my appetizer list would include Cheese Balls (prep them ahead and freeze so you only have to deep fry when guests arrive), the Apple Pie Chips (sooo addictive and who doesn’t love dessert for starters – also make these ahead), and the Beetroot Dip (another make ahead and refrigerate till you are ready to serve appetizer which also adds a gorgeous colour to the table). Moving onto Drinks, I would 100% make the Non Alcoholic Eggnog for teetotallers and a big pitcher of the Roasted Pineapple Moscow Mule. Both can be put together ahead of time and refrigerated For an International inspired Main and Sides Menu, I’d go with the Whole Roast Chicken (classic, reliable flavours and a really crispy skin everyone will love), the Vegetable Au Gratin, Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes (so I don’t have to use the stove), Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts (sooo crispy and delicious) and the Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad (make this hours ahead and just stick it in the fridge) For an Indian Christmas Menu, I’d make whole roasted Tandoori Cauliflower, Indian Masala Roast Chicken, Egg Biryani or Mutton Yakhni Pulao, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and the Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts And my favourite part – Dessert will be Sticky Toffee Pudding (sooo warm and cozy!) and the Strawberry Mousse (light, fluffy and refreshing). My daughter and I have already zeroed in on the fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies that we’ve been making on repeat!
