This month’s must-try goodies

Melrose and Morgan port and red onion marmalade

A cheeseboard must-have, this jammy chutney has a deep savoury flavour from the port and spices, with sweetness from the red onion and molasses, rounded out with tangy white wine vinegar. £5.50 (227g), melroseandmorgan.com

Christmas pudding chocolate This twist on a bar of milk chocolate has added raisins and crunchy biscuit as well as a sprinkle of gold lustre. You could chop it to use on top of the tart in the effortless menu (p22) instead of gold leaf. £4.99 (80g), Selfridges

Durslade Farm Shop wagyu dripping

This is a luxurious addition to roast potatoes for Christmas, or use it as the fat to make yorkshire puds for extra flavour. An ideal stocking filler for the cook who has everything. £6.50 (200ml), dursladefarmshop.co.uk

Seggiano classic handmade flatbreads

Made with extra-virgin olive oil, these super-thin wafers are a great addition to a cheeseboard: tough enough to withstand a large amount of cheese and chutney, and long enough to dip in soft cheese. £4.50 (120g), seggiano.com

Farmison Pierre Koffmann goose fat roast potatoes

Made using Koffmann potatoes, and developed by Pierre Koffmann, these potatoes have been par-steamed before being given a generous coating of British goose fat to ensure perfect crispness on the outside while staying fluffy in the middle.

£7.95 (750g), farmison.com

Truede turkish delight

This mixed-flavour box is just what you need to make the cozonac on p32. Turkish delight rings a lovely change from the usual Christmas flavours, so try it in classic dishes such as trifles, roulades and brownies. £8.49 (275g), shop.Omagazine.com

Waitrose Cooks’ Ingredients truffle and porcini mushroom sauce

A creamy but earthy and rich sauce combining porcini mushrooms and black summer truffle. This sauce would be a luxurious addition to beef wellington duxelles or to upgrade a macaroni cheese.

£3.50 (290g), Waitrose

Perelló olive and pickle cocktail mix with chilli

A snack found in bars all across Spain, this mixture includes green and black olives, gherkins and baby onions. It’s delicious enjoyed with a glass of beer or wine, or alongside a charcuterie board. £3.10 (180g), brindisa.com

Belvoir Farm’s non-alcoholic yuzu and lime mojito

This drink combines slightly sparkling spring water, freshly squeezed lime juice, zingy yuzu juice and touch of mint. The vibrant flavour makes it a great swap for a traditional alcoholic mojito but can also be enjoyed with a splash of rum for a traditional take. £2.95 (750ml), Sainsbury’s
