It's December, and for us that means one thing and one thing only - Christmas food! We know how stressful in can be planning and cooking your Christmas meal, so this year we've tried to make things as easy as possible for you by creating three show-stopping Christmas menus. There's a classic menu, a pescatarian one and a vegan one to ensure all bases are covered. We've even included a printable shopping list and timings plan for each menu to help you get as much of the work done in advance as possible! Check out all three menus here and start getting excited about your festive banquet.

We might have already had a few months of game season, with the likes of grouse appearing widely on menus, but we're now also well into venison season. The idea of cooking venison may seem intimidating for newbies, but once you get to grips with it, it's a fantastic and versatile meat to use in the kitchen. And we've got plenty of venison recipes for you to get stuck into here. 

Leaving behind a career in plasma physics in the US to chase her dream of becoming a chef, Caroline Martins has gone on to make a name for herself here in the UK thanks to her refined modern Brazilian cookery. She’s currently wowing guests at her Manchester chef’s table restaurant SAMPA with a Brazilian-British fusion tasting menu.
