We all know what’s hovering on the horizon so I’ve been poking around the Internet to see what’s on offer for us plant based munchers. Christmas dinner will be a bung-it-in-the oven affair – who can be bothered with all the faff this year? Plus, it leaves more time for important stuff like making cocktails and arguing over films to watch on Netflix. Just click on the links in the photos to track down the goodies.
I’m having these Morrison’s Vegetable Tempura Nests for a Christmas Day starter (not all of them – they will be shared, promise).
Wellingtons (not the rubber kind) are featured for a main course by a couple of supermarkets in their food-to-order sections.
If you prefer more vegetable looking fare, Morrison’s offer a star tarte.
Waitrose have filo swirls.
Now for dessert. This is a very fine looking vegan chocolate cake:https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/303433600
Beautiful vegan panna cotta star.
Sometimes all you want is a bit of trifle. Or sometimes quite a lot.
The Co-op have some very tempting cocktail recipes on their website that are crying out to be made. Here’s one for breakfast to drink with your toast.
Perhaps a caramelised pineapple and rosemary rum while the oven is heating up – it’s important to maintain your fruit intake on Christmas Day.
Then little sups of prosecco and whisky between courses. With fresh mint and ginger – keeping up the antioxidants.
And for a digestif? A cute little snowball.
Settle down and watch the telly with mulled gin.
I’ll probably forgo a nightcap – don’t want to overdo it.
