8 easy and tasty Christmas recipes.

 

These Christmas recipes are big on taste and small on stress. Whether you’re planning a traditional European-style feast with all the trimmings or a summery Aussie spread you’ll find a delicious dish here that will add to the day.

We’re keeping our cool at my house, so the prawn and the potato salads are top of my list.

1. Tiger Prawn Salad with Lime and Coriander

Prawns are a must-have on our Christmas table – I’m keen to try this twist on the classic.

2. Beetroot & chive gravlax

Gravlax is a Scandinavian way of preserving fish. It’s not unlike smoked salmon in texture and carries a delicate flavour of beetroot and chive. It also turns the edge of the salmon a lovely gentle pink. It takes only 48 hours and is worth the wait. As long as you use very fresh salmon, it will taste great.
