Christmas dinner is a lot of cooking for one day. Fairy Lights & Full Plates spreads it out: 36 easy recipes, a make-ahead countdown and three complete menus, from a baked brie to a chocolate yule log.
Each recipe says how long the hands-on work takes and what you can make days ahead. Each menu comes with a Christmas Day timeline, counted back in hours from the moment the main goes on the table, plus a shopping list and a vegetarian swap.
