Jamie Oliver's Baked Camembert
Like a sophisticated fondue, baked Camembert is also deliciously rich, fabulous to share and so simple to prepare for a crowd.
Ingredients:
One whole Camembert
Rosemary tips
Rosemary sprigs
Finely sliced garlic clove
Stale French bread
Dried cranberries
Mixed nuts
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Score and remove the top layer of the Camembert, then scatter the garlic and rosemary tips on top. Place the cheese, box and all, into the oven on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes. Next, thread the stale bread on the rosemary sprigs, drizzle with olive oil and place alongside the Camembert in the oven to crisp up. Finally chop up the dried cranberries and mixed nuts. Place all of the components onto a board and encourage your guests to first dip the bread in the cheese, followed by the cranberry and nut mixture.
Donna Hay's BBQ Prawns
An authentic Aussie Christmas calls for a BBQ and there's nothing tastier and simpler than fresh prawns.
Ingredients:
24 whole peeled prawns, tails in tact
Lime wedges
40g butter
Olive oil
2 garlic cloves
3 tsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Sea salt flakes
Instructions:
Cook the butter, garlic, salt and parsley over a low heat until melted. Thread the prawns onto a skewer and brush with the garlic butter. Cook on a medium heat BBQ for 3 minutes on each side continuing to brush with butter until the prawns are golden. Serve with lime wedges.
Easy Christmas Jellies
These jellies need to be made 2 days in advance, which will save you precious time on the day. They're also simple enough to get kids involved. Serves 8.
Ingredients:
8 small plastic cups
Raspberry jelly
Passionfruit jelly
Lime jelly
Fresh berries
Instructions:
Make the raspberry jelly first and pour a quarter of the mixture into each cup. Set for 6 hours and then repeat this process with the passionfruit jelly, pouring it on top of the first layer. Set again in the fridge. Prepare the lime jelly in the same way. Once all three layers are set, decorate with fresh berries and serve.
Health & Safety Tip:
It's easy to be distracted over Christmas. Remember to always follow kitchen safety – check the oven is off, the flames are turned down and you haven't left anything cooking. In the weeks before Christmas, check you have the most appropriate home insurance for your household. Review your home insurance to be on the safe side should any mishaps spoil your big day and beyond.
