So you want to impress someone special in your life with a Christmas dinner. These 5 recipes show that you've spent a lot of time and effort in creating something beautiful and will impress any fussy guest. Start with a classic Italian panettone, a buttery, fruit-filled dome of goodness that’s easier to make than you think. Impress your guests with homemade Mr Black coffee liqueur - bold, smooth, and perfect for cocktails. For cookie lovers, whip up an entire selection of 8 varieties with one simple dough. Salmon tarator is impressive and topped with a delicious herb and walnut dressing. Finally, steal the show with a macaron Christmas tree, a beautiful and delicious edible centrepiece that’s a true holiday treat!
Panettone is the perfect Christmas treat. This Italian loaf filled with fruit and towering in height, originates from Milan and typically weighs about 1 kilo or 2lbs shaped in a classic dome. It might seem daunting to make but with this recipe you’ll create a buttery, delicious panettone that will change everything and perhaps spark a new obsession!
Making your own liqueur? YES! It's so easy (you just need a bit of time). Mr Black has a bolder, more coffee-forward flavour with less sugar than Kahlua and it’s incredibly easy to make. Made with cold brew coffee it's delicious on its own or in cocktails like espresso martinis, white Russians, negronis, or even with tonic water.
This recipe lets you bake 8 irresistible cookies with just one dough - perfect for all cookie lovers, whether you prefer crisp, chewy or soft cookies. Even better, you can have this entire box (and more) baked and ready in just a couple of hours!
This salmon tarator was the star of one year's Christmas seafood spread. It’s a stunning baked salmon that you can prepare a few hours before guests arrive, topped with roasted walnuts, fresh herbs and a zesty chilli herb dressing. To this day my guests rave about it for its tender, perfectly cooked texture and incredible flavour.
Check out this stunning edible macaron Christmas tree, a show-stopping centerpiece for your holiday table! Made with layers of delicate macarons filled with luscious buttercream, this festive creation is as delicious as it is beautiful. Best of all, the foolproof macaron recipe ensures perfect results every time. Prepare it a few days in advance and store it in the fridge or freezer for up to two weeks, making your holiday prep even easier!
