Great Christmas lunch ideas ~ for everybody!
Christmas lunch. An occasion that is met with great joy for some, with great dread for others. There are those people who start planning way in advance, thus alleviating any stress that may present itself, and there are those who leave pretty much everything to the last minute – adding enormous stress to not only their lives but everybody around them too!
Although only one week away, this Christmas we can perhaps still help you with your planning of what is quite possibly the lunch of the year for many. Read on for a few example menus that might be just what you’re looking for…
Traditional menu

Main: Spice Roasted Chicken and Gravy
Dessert: Orange Chocolate Meringue Gateaux
Retro Christmas Feast

And let us not forget our children, because it is often the case that they simply won’t eat what we find delicious, no matter how much we bribe them! Try this menu geared towards the little ones that they just won’t be able to resist.
