Inspiration for an Unforgettable Christmas Dinner

Easy and effortless cooking and baking

Make your preparations for a lovely Christmas dinner easier than ever. Gathering with your family and friends during the holidays doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the kitchen. You already take lots of time to decorate the Christmas tree and your home, buy and wrap gifts, and organise the evening, so why spend so much time cooking and baking?

You can make an easy Christmas dinner menu with plenty of appetizers, show-stopping main dishes, and indulging desserts. It’s super simple to conjure up a feast that everyone will enjoy, using fresh and healthy ingredients. Here are some easy Christmas recipes that will give you more time to relax and plan the best holiday ever.

The moment everyone has been waiting for – when the main course is served at the table. Traditional poultry is given a special Christmas flavour with the Roast Christmas Turkey. Featuring apples and a hint of brandy, the turkey is prepared easily in the Panasonic 4-in-1 Microwave Oven. This frees up your conventional oven for cooking other dishes.

This is where you can let your creativity loose and move away from the standard plain mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, etc. Instead, serve Garlic Herb Smashed Potatoes. They can be prepared the day before and then easily finished in less than 30 minutes in the Microwave.
For an extra touch, make an amazing impression with this rich Madeira Gravy. Easily prepared in the microwave, this gravy will add something a little different to your special meal.

With so many options, it can be difficult choosing a dessert that everyone will be wowed by. But not with the Christmas Star Bread. It looks, smells and tastes just like Christmas – but without the hard work. Prepare it in advance and bake it when you are finished with the main course. That way, when you’re ready for a sweet closing to the feast, the house fills up with the delicious smell of gingerbread spice and a yeast dough baking in the Microwave.
