Festive Recipes to Kickstart Your “Party” Season
It’s December – trees are up, fairy lights are on, Christmas Jumpers are being brought down from the loft but we all know that Christmas is a little different this year; maybe you can’t have your Office Party or meet your friends for festive cocktails. That’s why we want to give you the perfect recipes to create restaurant quality food at home with your bubble – we even have a watercress gin martini recipe!
Watercress Filled Choux Buns
An impressive plate of canapés is the perfect thing to serve with drinks, and this recipe will make 20 perfect little buns.
Salmon Sharing Platter
Forget avocado flowers and prawn cocktails, a smoked Salmon sharing platter is a sophisticated and delicious starter for your festive feast!
For the main event there is no greater show-stopper than a Wellington. Flaky pastry wrapped around a sumptuous filling – and don’t worry, we know that blushing beef isn’t the only option, vegetarians are well catered for at Watercress HQ!
Beef Wellington
A stunning centrepiece for the dinner table; packed full of flavour with peppery watercress acting as the perfect compliment to the beef.

Chestnut and Beetroot Wellington
This is vegetarian cooking at its finest! Flavours of thyme, garlic and sumac combine to make a gorgeous veggie dish.
TOP TIP: If you want a super green meal, try serving your wellington with Watercress Mash!
What would Christmas be without a velvety rich dessert to look forward to?
Dark Chocolate and Watercress Sorbet
Luxurious and rich, this is an amazing way to finish the evening.
Merry Christmas!
