Our 2022 Guide To Festive Entertaining

Bored of Bailey's or looking for an alternative to a Christmas pudding? Check out our latest recipes from Ashley Palmer-Watts in our 2022 guide to festive entertaining.

When it comes to entertaining, Christmas is always the busiest time of year. Whether you’re hosting friends for Christmas Eve, feeding the family on Christmas day, or welcoming the in-laws on Boxing Day, there are hungry mouths everywhere and different people - and palates - to please.

 

Remember that while the culinary offering, decor and music are of course important, what’s more important is that you’re happy and having a good time. Your mood will dictate the vibe more than anything you provide your guests to eat or drink. That being said, there are a couple of sure-fire edible and drinkable delights that you can rustle up in no time at all, and which will leave your guests full, happy, contented, and with very fond memories indeed.

 

 

Indulge your guests with The Big Shot Brownie

 

If there’s a better time of year to indulge in a gooey, oozy, rich and very grown-up dessert, we certainly don’t know about it.

 

Too yummy to resist, our Big Shot Chocolate Brownies – developed by none other than award-winning chef Ashley Palmer-Watts - are the ultimate crowd-pleasing pud, with a touch of coffee and a whole load of heavenly cocoa goodness, they are so easy to make and can be made kid-friendly by eschewing the coffee. These deliciously moreish squares will have everyone racing back for more so make sure you keep a few back for yourself when plating – chef’s treat!
