Bourekas

Make these golden pastries as part of a Jewish holiday feast. This version is filled with a mixture of three cheeses.

Festive smashed sprouts

Contains pork – recipe is for non-Muslims/non-pork eaters.

Labneh

Make the easiest homemade cheese in minutes. It’s a common addition to meze platters as a dip

Enjoy these shrimp and crab crumpets as a breakfast or starter for Christmas Day. The filling can be made in advance, but will need gently reheating

Make these linzer cookies for the Christmas biscuit tin. Filled with cranberry and orange and finished with icing sugar, they also make great festive gifts

Next level black forest gateau

Rework this retro crowdpleaser with a thicker, creamier filling and more chocolate for pure indulgence. It’s the perfect centrepiece dessert

‘Plain cheese pizza’ cups

Serve these bite-sized pizzas while you’re snuggled on the sofa to watch a Christmas movie – the name is a nod to Kevin’s favourite pizza in Home Alone

Feta & lamb meatball bake

Rustle up this lamb meatball bake for an easy weeknight dinner. It’s also smart enough for entertaining served with a green salad on the side
