Sebastian Masih’s Masala Chai
"I am in charge of arguably the highlight of the Christmas lunch plate – the humble, but if properly done, the hands-down crowd-pleaser of the table – the roasted spud. But to prepare myself mentally and get ready for the day ahead, there is nothing better than a cup of mum’s chai – the warmest hug on a cold winter’s morning. This is how we make mummy Venus’ Masala Chai."

Megan Davies’ Roast Dinner Frittatas
"Frittatas have to be the best fridge-raid meals around. You can chuck almost anything into them and they’ll do you proud. Please use the additions to the egg in these recipes as a guide and add in whatever you have to hand.”

Charlotte Olby’s Fuss-Free Breakfast Broad
"There is nothing I love more than a charcuterie board around the holidays, which is why a breakfast board is a perfect option in our household – especially when there are plenty of mouths to be fed. Not only does this grazing board allow you to have the best of both worlds (savoury and sweet food all piled up in one place), but it’s super easy to put together and the mess is minimal. Plus, it goes down rather well with a Buck’s Fizz in hand."

Shannon Peter’s Festive French Toast
“French toast is, of course, simply a more elegant name for eggy bread, but the zest, toppings and spices make it all the more impressive than the standard-issue edition. If you tend to go for a big dinner on Christmas day rather than a traditional lunch, then this big, bold breakfast will keep you full right up til the main event.”
