  1. I used to be a vegetarian, but I recovered. I had to laugh at this though “vegetarians get a bum deal on the day”. Surely its just the meateaters that get bum?

    Nigella has a lovely recipe for butternut orzotto. In fact, her Christmas book got me through last season. Her gingrbread was made at least four times over the two weeks.

  2. In my experience, veggies don’t get left out as long as they’re willing to do some of the cooking themselves! Nut roast gets a bad rap but I have a fabulous cheese and nut loaf that I make every Christmas and which stands shoulder to shoulder with meaty alternatives: http://www.thedailyspud.com/2008/12/22/going-nuts-at-christmas/

  3. Nice recipes, Rercy.

    For me the best part of xmas dinner is stuffing, brusselers and gravy. Ooh, and roast parsnips. If those elements are in place I’m generally happy.

    Though this year I have been scouring the wonderful books by Rose Elliot, veggie writer supreme. She does amazing things with mushrooms and chestnuts. Mushroom Wellington anyone?

  4. I suspect I will be eating a lot of bums this Christmas..yum bum. Great veggie recipes on offer here though – thanks.

  5. It wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t eat some of my mother’s delicious bum.

  6. I am also a vegetarian and my body has never been in a very good shape. Being a vegan can really make you much heathier.*.~
