Add a little Thai to your Christmas table with this flavor-packed dish spiced with hot chili paste, lime leaves, lemongrass and peppery, gingerlike galangal.
Celebrate the holiday in French style with briny mussels boiled in an herbed white wine sauce. Don't forget to serve with toasted garlic bread: you'll want it to mop up the extra sauce.
Although the spicy chili-Szechuan peppercorn sauce is stellar, the highlight of this dish is a hidden layer of meaty, oven-baked oyster mushrooms tucked into the pasta.
Served partially sliced and scattered with mushrooms, pearl onions and potatoes, this roast makes an impact on any table — and no one will know cooking it was as simple as tossing everything into one pan.
Cheap friends keep giving you panettone for Christmas? Make the most of it with this rich bread pudding perked up with airy meringue and vanilla-flecked creme anglaise.
