These Christmas recipes are big on taste and small on stress. Whether you’re planning a traditional European-style feast with all the trimmings or a summery Aussie spread you’ll find a delicious dish here that will add to the day.
We’re keeping our cool at my house, so the prawn and the potato salads are top of my list.
Have a brilliant Chrissie!
1. Tiger Prawn Salad with Lime and Coriander
Prawns are a must-have on our Christmas table – I’m keen to try this twist on the classic.

2. Beetroot & chive gravlax
Gravlax is a Scandinavian way of preserving fish. It’s not unlike smoked salmon in texture and carries a delicate flavour of beetroot and chive. It also turns the edge of the salmon a lovely gentle pink. It takes only 48 hours and is worth the wait. As long as you use very fresh salmon, it will taste great.
3. Baked honey glazed ham
Ham on the bone always says Christmas to me … and weeks of leftovers afterwards.

4. Oysters in champagne sauce
This is a luxe way to serve oysters as a Christmas treat.
5. Loaded potato salad with bacon
Mmmmmmm … potato salad … with BACON.
6. The perfect Christmas turkey
Don’t be nervous about cooking this traditional dish. Here’s how to serve the perfect bird.
7. Blueberry pavlova
Pavlova is easy and kind of foolproof. It’s also classically Australian so enjoy…
8. Traditional spiced mulled wine
This is the perfect drink for Christmas eve.
