The Best Christmas Flavour Combinations<\/h2>\n

Our\u00a0recipe developers have put together a chart to help you to breathe new life into your festive\u00a0cooking – without losing the special\u00a0ingredients and combinations that give your food that\u00a0Christmassy feeling.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

\"christmas<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pick<\/strong> an ingredient, either from the top or the side of the chart<\/li>\n
  2. Follow<\/strong> the line along to see which ingredients it pairs well with – these are marked with white dots<\/li>\n
  3. Try\u00a0<\/strong>introducing a\u00a0few of these pairing suggestions\u00a0in your cooking this Christmas to discover exciting new ways make classic dishes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And here’s an example:<\/p>\n

    \"brussels<\/p>\n

    Want to make your Brussels sprouts a little more adventurous this Christmas? Good news – they pair well with loads of different ingredients! The table shows that they can be combined with bacon\/pancetta, blue cheese, chestnut, cranberry, ham, nutmeg, shallot, parsnips, potato, rosemary, sage, thyme and turkey (of course).<\/p>\n

    Now, we’re not suggesting you pop all of those together in a dish – too much of a good thing… But you can make some mouth-watering Brussels sprouts by combining them with\u00a0chestnuts and bacon.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Ready to give it a try? Here’s the table – get stuck in!<\/p>\n

    \"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

    You can also\u00a0download the table,\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

    Let us know how you get on with your Christmas flavour combinations in the comments! If the table has any combinations you weren’t expecting or that you really like the sound of, we’d love to know about them.<\/p>\n
