Get things off to a real showstopping start with this indulgent recipe for a cheese soufflé. Pair with a sautéed chard and onion compote for a dish that’s full of flavour.

Vegetarians will enjoy tucking into this fabulous nut roast. Packed with fruit and nuts, it makes for a colourful celebratory dish. Serve with crispy roast potatoes and seasonal veggies for a warming winter meal.

Alternatively, cocktails can be a delicious way to bring a wellbeing twist to your New Year’s Eve meal.
