Angela Nilson, editor of new book, 101 Christmas Dishes, says: "Anything that can help make the husde and busde of cooking at Christmas easier and less stressful is bound to be valuable."


From drinks to desserts, we've got mouth-watering recipes to see you dirough the season and impress friends and family.
