Turkey
A turkey is an inexpensive main meal that will feed a lot of people. This makes it perfect for large Christmas dinners. To give your bird a festive flavor, try cooking it with a sweet and spicy turkey glaze. Did you know that the Christmas turkey tradition can be traced back to Henry VIII, who decided to make the bird a staple for the festive day? After the British Empire discovered the New World (that’s the Americas) an influx of gobble-gobbles hit Britain.

Caramelized Onion tarts with apples
Need an impressive Christmas appetizer that does take a lot of effort? Sweet meets savoury in the mixture of onions and apples that tops crisp, elegant tarts. These tasty bites look fancy, but they’re surprisingly easy to make. It all starts with thawed store-bought puff pastry (one of our favourite shortcut ingredients), which you spread with luscious, tangy crème fresh. Smother with sliced onions and chopped apples cooked until tender and golden, then bake until the pastry is crispy and browned. Cut into squares, preferably with a pizza cutter for best results, and serve warm.
Fondue
Help holiday guests warm up on a chilly winter evening with this retro dish that has become trendy again. Two kinds of shredded cheese combine for a deeper, more complex flavour; because the cheese is shredded, it should melt fairly quickly. Serve with soft pretzels, and toasted baguette, or go beyond the basics and offer an assortment of dippers: cut-up apples and pears, sliced cooked sausage, broccoli and cauliflower florets, or cherry tomatoes. It is a fun way to get everyone mingling before they sit down for Christmas dinner.
