CHRISTMAS

A healthy and warming soup to help you use up all of your leftovers from Christmas dinner.

Tip: Lots of vegetable substitutions can be made, but red cabbage is best avoided.

Delicious alternative to a Christmas pudding, this Chocolate Orange Christmas Log can be prepared ahead of time to ease strain on the big day. 

Ideal for making star or window pane biscuits, for wrapping prettily with a gift or just with a cup of tea. 

A pretty winter cake, uses ground nuts as well as flour and a cream cheese frosting to make it lighter and easier on the icing than traditional cakes. You can use wholemeal self-raising flour, if you prefer and replace the Amaretto with brandy.

Whether you make your own pastry and mincemeat from scratch or prefer the convenience of ready-made options, these bite-sized mince pies are a festive delight that never fail to impress.

Possibly the quickest, easiest and most delicious AGA dessert. 

A wonderfully nourishing bowl of flavour. This recipe is suitable for vegans and is gluten-free and dairy-free. 

Pastry tarts and quiches are so simple to cook in an AGA as the pastry and filling can be cooked together. Use a dry non-stick frying pan to cook the mushrooms for maximum flavour. 

This is a great recipe for small kitchen helpers. 

AGA cookers make brilliant bread thanks to the piping-hot roasting oven which gives a really good ‘oven spring’ and the lovely AGA ‘warmth’ that helps the yeast to start working and   the dough to rise nice and quickly.
