At Christmas, most of the attention falls on the turkey, the ham and the all-important roasties. In the mad dash to perfect these centrepieces, we often forget to make sure that there are delicious and quick options to hand when entertaining.
Entertainment food in and of itself is an art to master, and thankfully Donal Skehan is here to share his tips, tricks and recipes with us this festive season. In tonight's Christmas special he'll show us how to prepare warming winter dishes that are sure to impress guests and keep your Christmas day running smoothly.
Keeping it simple is at the heart of Donal's cooking ethos, and at Christmas, this is no different - after all, it's only fair that the cooks get to relax on the big day as well!
Watch our interview with Donal above for his top Christmas dinner tips.
Start the day with a breakfast of potato boxty, create a starter people can literally dig into with his baked camembert platter and wow your family with a decadent dessert of chocolate and cherry lava cakes.
These are just some of the delicious recipes on offer. Tune in to see them and more tonight!
