• The traditional Christmas meal is often centred around meat, leaving vegetarians and vegans to make-do with a hardly handful of starters or side dishes (or sometimes nothing at all)! If you are catering for someone who doesn’t eat meat, or simply want to try and incorporate more plant-based foods into your Christmas cooking, we have put together some suggestions for meat-free dishes to serve this festive season.
