Easy but fancy Christmas morning fare

It’s easy to make food the star on Christmas morning

- ATCO BLUE FLAME KITCHEN

What does your Christmas morning look like? Kids waking up at the crack of dawn, shrieking with excitement at the toys and gadgets Santa brought them?

Or is it a slower, quieter affair, with warm pyjamas and steaming mugs of coffee and hot chocolate?

Make breakfast or brunch part of your tradition with these simple and delicious recipes from our latest cookbook, Home for the Holidays.

Not an early riser? These recipes can easily be converted to finger foods for any holiday event.

Our chorizo sausage patties are chock full of flavour and a cinch to make. Lean ground pork is combined with an aromatic spice mixture before being formed into patties. This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.

You may also convert the patties into hors d’oeuvres by simply shaping them into meatballs, or using them in our sausage roll bites. Crisp, flaky puff pastry gives way to the spicy chorizo, with a touch of mustard for an extra kick.

Our cranberry apple cider is spiced with cinnamon, cloves and ginger, making it a comforting holiday alternativ­e to the usual orange juice.

Add a dash of vodka or rum for the adults!
