A Simply Delicious Christmas, first published in 1989, is a much-loved cookbook, with tattered, well-worn copies to be found in most households in the country. Twenty-five years on, Darina Allen is back with a stunning new edition, revised and updated to reflect today’s tastes.
You’ll still find all the traditional favourites here – Old-Fashioned Roast Turkey, St Stephen’s Day Pie, the famous Plum Pudding and the Chocolate Christmas Tree – as well as over one hundred new recipes to suit modern palates, including succulent Roast Turkey Crown with Harissa, Christmas Quesadillas and a spectacular Plum Pudding Ice Cream.
A Simply Delicious Christmas caters to every need over the festive season, from planning ahead for the Christmas Day feast to suggestions for drinks and nibbles for entertaining, as well as recipes to accommodate those with food intolerances and ideas for edible presents.
It’s what Christmas memories are made of!
