Quick fruit and nut ice cream cake
Quick fruit and nut ice cream cake
A showstopper cake that requires absolutely no baking? This impressive ice cream cake is a masterstroke of simplicity! Sweet Italian panettone makes a brilliant substitute for sponge: just fill it with festive flavours. We swirled cherries and chocolate through the ice cream to give a Black Forest feel, but you can alter the fruit and nut mix with whatever you fancy

Crunchy apple fruit and nut salad
Crunchy apple fruit and nut salad
This is similar to a Waldorf salad but with pineapple and walnuts. Chef Adriana Cavita's recipe is inspired by a dish that some families in her native Mexico City eat on Christmas Eve. 'The salad adds a crunch and freshness to what could be a rich meal,' she says

Pavo relleno - Mexican stuffed roast turkey
Pavo relleno - Mexican stuffed roast turkey
'In Mexico, a turkey is called a guajolote or pavo; they are native to Mexico and were only brought to Europe after the Spanish arrived in the 16th century,' says chef Adriana Cavita. 'Traditionally we would stuff it with tomato and acitrón, which is a candied sweet (a bit like Spanish membrillo) made from the biznaga cactus. The cactus is now endangered and prohibited to eat, so I use a mixture of dried fruit here instead.'
