Buffet

A leftover turkey sandwich is a must at Christmas, but if you’re hosting on Boxing Day and looking for a centrepiece, try this festive turkey pilaf. It’s a lightly spiced meal-in-one that can also form part of a buffet

After all the festive richness, this crisp, colourful red cabbage slaw is a welcome change of pace. It works just as well as part of a buffet as it does alongside cold roast turkey or ham

Grain-based salads are a great choice for gatherings, as they’re hearty and hold up well. This one can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge
