Christmas is a time for loved ones, creating memories and (most importantly) good food! Here I've put together my favourite Christmas recipes to inspire your perfect Christmas, starting off with a warming cup of hot chocolate on Christmas eve. Whether this is your first vegan Christmas, your 3rd or even your 12th meat free Christmas, have a read, get inspired and happy cooking!
Christmas eve
Peppermint Hot chocolate
My hot chocolate is made with cashew milk and dark chocolate, with a touch of peppermint extract, vegan whipped cream and a candy cane. It's the ultimate Christmas eve drink, so make a cup, put your pyjamas on and watch your favourite Christmas movie.
Cranberry white chocolate cookies (for Santa)
We obviously can't forget a snack for Santa...these cranberry white chocolate cookies really hit the spot, soft, chewy and melt-in-your mouth. And best of all, Santa can't eat 24 cookies...so that leaves plenty to share with family and friends!
P.S. don't forget the carrot for Rudolf!
Christmas day
Starters
Cauliflower and Chestnut soup
This cauliflower and chestnut soup is packed with smoky, caramelised flavours that just scream winter and will warm you right through, I topped it with a swirl of herb oil and crunchy, smoky garlic sourdough croutons. Soup doesn't get much better than this and it may be the best soup I've ever eaten. A warming, festive starter to your Christmas dinner.
Caramelised Fig and Tenderstem Broccoli Salad
If your not a soup fan, why not go for this caramelised fig and broccoli salad? Gooey, warm, caramelised figs - sweet, tangy and a little salty - with tenderstem broccoli, garlic and black pepper croutons, toasted almonds and crumbly vegan cheese on a bed of watercress and drizzled with a balsamic vinegar based dressing.
Mains
Portobello Mushroom Tart
Onto the mains - this portobello mushroom tart really hits the spot for mushroom lovers, with intense dried mushrooms, chesnut and finally portobello mushrooms, infused with thyme and a splash of red wine vinegar, all baked into a crisp, flaky puff pastry tart. These little tarts are individually portioned and absolutely delicious with all the trimmings and lashings of thick gravy!
