4. Chicken and Mozzarella Croquetas
Want bites to serve as an aperitif? We draw inspiration from Spanish cuisine by offering these croquettes made with potatoes, chicken and cheese. Make them ahead of time (frying smells are not great when guests arrive!) and freeze them, then simply reheat on a baking sheet in the oven and serve with sundried tomato mayonnaise.

7. Plum Pudding
This cake filled with dried fruit (apricots, dates, raisins) is at the heart of Christmas celebrations in England.
