My 12 Recipes of Christmas

I have always made a small nod to festive recipes but have never gone particularly all out, tinsel everywhere, baubles all over the shop type thing. The truth is I’m too busy humming carols, doing a bit of sewing (it’s the only time of year I attempt to get crafty) and generally being the anti-Scrooge to devote much time to creating new recipes.
This year however, I am very excited to present my 12 recipes of Christmas. There are no roast turkeys, no bubbles or squeaks and no curry leftover recipes. No, these 12 recipes are the things that will suit your festive plans no matter what. There’s ideas for party food, light meals, a take on a mince pie and some drinks too.
So whether you’re planning on being Elvis or Bing I hope there’ll be something to wet your whistle (I wish there was some jingle bell alternative I could slip in there).
Starting on December 1st and continuing every other day until the 23rd I’ll be popping up a recipe. Savoury, sweet, indulgent or light there’s a right old mix. It’s just like the song, the 12 Days of Christmas, except that it’s all edible. Enjoy!
