I know it's not hugely traditional, but Chicken wings as a starter is always yum.

Big mushrooms filled with garlic, breadcrumbs, and cheese?


As for dessert... Chocolate fudge brownies :mrcool:

Hmmmm. How about a light Christmas themed soup? It could be made a couple of days in advance, allowed to cool and then re-heated come the big day! For dessert, my mum makes a Christmas Yule Log - which is basically a chocolate sponge with a cream & chocolate layer folded onto each other, a la Log!

Urgh, I'm hungry now...

Hmmm Crab would probably go down well as a starter... :mrcool: Would just have to leave the caviar alone.

Instead of caviar just a little bit of salad on top with a few swirls of reduced balsamic dressing round the outside, little bit of salt and peppar and you're done.

Can we have this pinned, please? It will come in useful year after year and can be edited and updated regularly and then we can publish a tmf cookbook with pictures by Dom and our other ace photographers of our minis posed with food and raise more money for my fave charity (Teapot Care Homes Inc, Bermuda).

I've just sort of accidentally made this bread from pizza dough in the bread machine -- same as making a pizza but leave off the topping, and it only takes 15 mins in the oven and rises a treat. It makes a great starter with warm olive oil, maybe sun-dried tomatoes and pesto sauce. And olives.
