Simple Christmas cooking

We take a simple approach to Christmas and that extends to catering for our Christmas lunch. Christmas day here in Melbourne was 36 degrees celsius and I personally didn't want to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen on such a hot day to cook a big hot meal.   

For us, Christmas lunch means sharing a good meal with loved ones, not stressing out in the kitchen. So we take a relaxed approach to lunch....

 

Christmas lunch....and what a festive tablecloth!!

 
Our vegetarian Christmas menu this year consisted of:

• Spinach and Fetta Filo Pie
• Heather's Quinoa recipe 
• Lemony Chickpea Salad
• Green leafy salad

• Plum pudding with Icecream Plum Pudding 

(There might have been a few G&T's that snuck in there too)

All of the above recipes are simple and straightforward and leftovers store well in the fridge for several days.  Perfect!

How did you celebrate Christmas day?
