We’re big believers that if you’re entertaining a crowd — be it a casual get together with friends, or the entire family unit — that cooking the meal should be as simplified and easy as possible; leaving you more time to enjoy with your guests.
But that doesn’t mean your holiday fare has to be boring or safe, in fact we think quite the opposite. To get you inspired to put together a fabulous feast that’s far from predictable, we’ve put together a list of every recipe you’ll need to make this weekend’s holiday feast one for the record books.
Sriracha Maple Glazed Ham with Sweet and Purple Potatoes
A classic glazed ham gets a decidedly modern update with our fabulous Sriracha Maple Glaze, begging the question — why haven’t we been putting this stuff on everything?! Paired with colourful and nutritious sweet potatoes, it’s the ideal main course that’s on the table in just over an hour.

Use the same glaze from the ham recipe, and put it to work in this simple roasted carrot recipe. The gentle spicy and sweet flavour combo couldn’t be a better pairing to the earthy sweetness of the carrots. This one is a winner!

Mix things up a bit with a non-traditional dish, like our tomato and basil farro salad. Bright, bold and packed full of textures, this easy side dish is made with delicious ingredients like olives, cherry tomatoes, basil, feta cheese and toasted peanuts.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Speck
These are not the Brussels sprouts you remember as a child, we promise you. Baked in the oven until they’re crispy and golden, then paired with irresistible pieces of Italian speck, this game-changing dish could convert even the biggest sprouts-hater.

Stinging Nettle and Goat Cheese Rag Pie
Inspired by the bounty of spring, this unexpected savoury dessert is the perfect way to cap off the holiday festivities. A rift of Nigella Lawson’s “Old Rag Pie,” this beauty is made with fresh stinging nettles, and soft unripened goat cheese. Because who says that dessert has to be sweet?
