Christmas Pudding

The very word 'pudding' conjours up all sorts of rich, gooey and gorgeous images in people's minds.

So, at Christmas, a time when decadence and excess are part of any menu, why not make your own delicious Ultimate Christmas pudding? It's guaranteed to make everyone feel festive and your kitchen smell incredible.

If the traditional Christmas pudding isn't to your taste delight your guests with the incredibly easy Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova, a sure fire winner at any time of year but especially at Christmas. 

We have even more ideas for Christmas desserts and Christmas side dishes.
