Little Pineapple Christmas Cakes | Pavlova | |||
 | This is without a doubt Alison's most popular recipe Christmas cake recipe. From letters she has received, we know that it is the only Christmas cake in many households, and, has also seen service at many weddings and christenings.
|  | Everybody's grandmother probably had her own secret pavlova recipe, but here's our favourite version. It's a simplified version where everything goes into the mixer at once, but still works really well

Alison's Lazy Lasagne | Filo Tartlets with Lemon Cloud Filling | |||
 | This is a variant of one of Alison's most popular recipes. It's almost too good to be true - a lasagne with no precooking, just a little assembly!

Jerk Lamb with Kiwifruit Salsa | Spicy Fish Cakes | |||
 | Caribbean and Jamaican flavours are 'hot' (fashion-wise) flavours presently. The seasonings in this Jamaican Jerk mixture go well with the semi-tropical flavours of the kiwifruit in the salsa.

Cinnamon Swirls | Star Attractions | |||
 | The warm, inviting smell of yeast and cinnamon wafting through the house as these rolls cook is a promise of a treat to come. Reward your family after they have finished all the jobs you want done.
|  | Star shapes make this look extra special, or any other shape taste just as good.
| |
Lemon Yoghurt Cake | Louise Cake | |||
 | Because this cake contains oil rather than butter, it is very easy to mix, either in a food processor, or in a bowl using a whisk or fork.
|  | A favourite cafe slice, this is not hard to make!
| |
Spiced Pumpkin Soup | Slow Cooker Chocolate Zucchini Cake | |||
 | Soup is one of the ultimate comfort foods, and at this time of year, pumpkin soup is our favourite kind!
|  | Simon rates this as one of his all time favourite chocolate cakes! It may look like an unusual combination of ingredients, but it really does make a delicious, large, moist, cake which you can serve to friends or family with pride.

Fatoush with Lamb | Christmas Mince Pies | |||
 | Traditionally, fatoush is a Lebanese tomato and cucumber salad. The addition of roasted lamb may not be traditional, but we think it works well the middle eastern flavours.
| | To some people, Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a mince pie! While there are some good bought ones out there, they’re seldom as good as your own homemade version.
