December seasonal recipes

Discover our best seasonal recipes for December. Apart from the fact that it’s a month for festivities and feasting (did someone say Christmas?) December is the perfect time to enjoy rich, deep meats – think turkey and game. You can also make the most of root veg (with curried parsnip soup, maybe), or try out a plump cabbage or pumpkin.

Eat fresh chestnuts while you can, and make sure to make the most of the season’s dazzling line-up of winter fruits, including cranberries and pomegranates.

And if you’re looking for Christmas inspiration, see our jam-packed section of Christmas recipes and ideas.
