Your Christmas Day menu (and more) is here...

No matter what you’re planning this year – be it a small family get-together or one to match Downing Street, the Christmas issue of Food and Travel magazine is here to take the stress out of the big day and make the holiday season one to remember (for all the right reasons).

Cook up a festive feast with recipes and wine pairings from the UK's top chefs – that's Phil Howard, Margot Henderson and Niall Keating in the mix – and if you want a peak at what Anthony Demetre is serving up this year just click here for his Goosnargh duck recipe lacquered with honey and sweet spice and served with roasted root vegetables, quince and chestnuts.

Shake things up with modern twists on classic cocktails and our guest sommelier, Chanel Owen of Pied à Terre restaurant, shares her top port picks, plus discover easy to master veggie-focused plates from Ottolenghi to satisfy all the family. Claudia Roden brings Mediterranean favourites to your kitchen and James Martin serves up buttery delights – in fact there's recipes aplenty with a bumper 42 dishes to try.

And with the government's timely removal of the redundant Red List, we've got your 2022 travel plans covered, too. Make the most of snow-capped vistas in our selection of European winter city breaks, explore Chengdu's vibrant food culture and closer to home, founder of Polpo restaurant group, Russell Norman, share his address book of favourite London establishments. If you're searching for a slice of isolated paradise, planning a big family trip or simply looking for a weekend away – we've got all the inspiration you need.
