Welcome to An Island Chef Christmas Recipe Collection
I hope you are enjoying your festive food planning, to help and inspire here are some of the my favourite Christmas recipes. If you are just going to bake some mince pies or are planning your Christmas Dinner celebration, I’m sure I have a recipe. I also have some surprises like my alternative take on traditional roast turkey.
I have been cooking with my family since I was I child and I posted my Aunty Mary’s recipe for Christmas Pudding in time for Stir-up Sunday We used to bake every weekend. If you want to to create some great Christmas inspired biscuits with your children I have just the thing. You might not have time to decorate a Christmas Cake with royal icing but you can make a traditional fruitcake ready to have with a cup of tea once your Christmas Dinner is finished.
