PANCETA, CHESTNUT AND SLOE GIN BRAISED CABBAGE

An adaptation of Angela Clutton's festive recipe, with smoky panceta for a twist. The aromatic sloe gin and sweet chestnuts make this an ideal side dish for roasts and more. Cooked chestnuts save time without compromising on quality, for a simple yet elegant Christmas dish.

MORCILLA ARANCINI WITH QUINCE ALIOLI

This recipe gives a Spanish twist to an Italian classic. The combination of rice and morcilla creates a rich, flavourful bite, while the spices in the morcilla paired with the sweetness of quince evoke festive Christmas flavours. Using Bahía rice, which absorbs flavours beautifully and has the perfect texture for arancini, these bite-sized treats make ideal finger food for any gathering.

COD WITH HONEY ALIOLI

This delicious Cod with Honey recipe offers a wonderful alternative to traditional Christmas meat dishes. A Catalan classic from Monika Linton's book, Brindisa: The True Food of Spain, it balances the sweetness of caramelised apples, honey, and pine nuts, with the savoury cod. Topped with a creamy alioli and baked to golden perfection, this dish brings a festive twist to your holiday table.

WINTER GREENS PIE

This winter greens pie is perfect for the festive season. The vibrant combination of chard and cavolo nero, spiced with cinnamon and brightened by orange zest, brings a warm, seasonal flavour. Topped with toasted pine nuts and tangy Mahón cheese, all wrapped in crispy filo pastry, it’s a stunning centrepiece: both hearty and elegant.
