Starter: Lobster bisque
Lobster Bisque is one of those dishes that instantly conjures up thoughts of luxury.

Main Course: Stuffed Goose with all the trimmings
For a truly traditional centrepiece, consider roast goose. Goose has long been a Christmas favourite, with its rich flavour and crisp skin. It’s also a little more indulgent than turkey and perfect for a gathering of family and friends. The key to goose is in the preparation; it’s a fatty bird, so you’ll want to render out much of the fat, which can be saved for the best roast potatoes you’ll ever taste.

Dessert: Festive Trifle with Red Fruit Sauce
By now you and your guests will feel pretty stuffed, so we’re finishing with a small trifle which can be prepared in advance to take the pressure off Christmas Day. This layered trifle combines cream cheese, a tangy red fruit sauce, and biscuit crumbs to create an elegant, festive dessert. Served in individual glasses, it’s a simple yet impressive way to finish a Christmas meal.View our recipe at www.pridemagazines.co.uk/rutland/view-magazines?magazine=December-2024
