Get rid of the blinis and mini toasts – there’s simply no need for them at this gluten-free Christmas table. Instead, serve up Simon Gueller’s beautiful butternut squash velouté, or Adam Gray’s flavourful smoked eel with bacon and apple. If you fancy transporting your family to Italy for a brief moment, however, then Theo Randall’s chestnut risotto is seasonal, festive and easy to put together.

Onto the main event! You can easily prepare a full-on gluten-free turkey dinner with all the trimmings, but if you’d prefer not to work your way through mountains of leftovers in the days ahead try just cooking and serving the legs like Lisa Allen. Inject some medieval wonder into proceedings with James Mackenzie’s incredible five-bird roast, which is poached before being finished off in the oven, or serve a whole duck with a delicious bowl of spiced red cabbage.

Ah, the Christmas pudding. Even if you think it’s too dense and rich for rounding off a meal we all overeat at, there’s no denying that it’s one of the purest tastes of Christmas you can get. While traditional recipes contain flour, gluten-free baker Howard Middleton offers an alternative – his delicious Armagnac Christmas pudding, free from gluten and dairy. Fancy something (a little bit) lighter? Go for his sticky figgy puddings, which are jam-packed with festive flavour. And if you’re after something completely different, Jeremy Lee’s incredible walnut cake is beautifully comforting, sweet and satisfying.
