In this month's issue

For this special time of year we wanted a truly winning Christmas dinner, so we’ve turned to champion of MasterChef 2024, Brin Pirathapan, for the main event. His Sri Lankan Tamil-inspired turkey roast will leave you glowing all the way until New Year’s Day, complete with devilled brussels sprouts and curry leaf & mustard seed roasties.

It’s with warmest wishes, too, that we’re sharing ideas for those neither-here-nor-there days in-between – or twixmas, as the shorthand goes – when you can cosy up with friends and family over meltingly soft slow-cooker pork or a sticky maple pecan plait.

If you’re looking forward to some festive baking, we have an abundance of recipes to choose from, including clever twists on Chanukah classics, and there are plenty of drinks and nibbles across this issue to fuel any and every celebration in your calendar.

Happy holidays!
