Vegetarian stuffing balls
There’s no need to give up the best bits of the Christmas roast as a vegetarian! These crumbly, crunchy mouthfuls are full of hearty flavour, and conjure memories of warm roast dinner. Great served alongside steamed or roasted vegetables, salad, and a potato bake, be warned – you might find that the omnivores will be fighting over them too!

Tomato Caprese Salad
If the Christmas cooking duties are feeling just a tad overwhelming, here’s the most simple salad to throw at friends and family. And look! We even made it in Christmas colours especially. Okay you caught us – we are borrowing this particular dish from Italian tables, but the Tomato Caprese fits in just as well to an Aussie Christmas (or any dinner to be honest).

The best gluten free rum balls
Christmas desserts should be three things: easy to make, delicious and just a little bit naughty. This is the perfect dessert for when you’re craving something sweet but small and the best part is you can make it gluten free so everyone (over the age of 18) can enjoy them. With only five ingredients and three easy steps, you’ll be thanking us later. Just don’t eat and drive.
