This recipe takes some time and quite a few baking trays, but it's well worth it. It makes plenty so you can give away as gifts with good coffee beans.

Crostini alla Fiorentina

Recipe by: nostatic

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Italian starter that is, essentially, liver pate served on toasted rustic bread. This is a nice recipe for parties and wine tastings. For vegetarians in attendance, you can also prepare a version with finely chopped (and drained) herbed tomatoes as it is equally delicious. You can serve the dish hot or cold on toasted baguette or ciabatta.

Panforte

Recipe by: Andrea

I LOVE to make this impressive, but easy cake at Christmas! The cake is so sticky that you must use edible paper to line the pan. Don’t worry if the mixture seems to cool too quickly. Just warm it up in the microwave again and keep working.

These Italian macaroon-like biscuits call for pinenuts, lending a unique flavour. These are flourless and therefore gluten free. They make delicious food gifts at Christmas.

Squash & Porcini Lasagne

Recipe by: emsmiff

Be the first to review it!

The perfect vegetarian alternative to a christmas dinner (or any time as it's so good). Would make a fab starter too. The squash and the dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance - keep them covered in the fridge. On the day the dressing just needs to be served at room temp and the squash can be heated in the microwave. Really easy dish to do while dealing with a huge roast!
