December is perhaps the best time to be in the kitchen, or at the table! It’s the season for partying and celebration with events such as Christmas and New Year taking centre stage. With plenty of excuses to celebrate, you’ll want to make the most of what’s in season to chef up some delights to wow your friends and family.
The tastiest vegetables at this time of your tend to be root vegetables that are packed full of earthy flavors. They’re perfect for slow cooking in soups, stews and roasts and can also be enhanced with herbs, seasoning and other marinades. Some of our favourites include carrots, celery, artichokes, leeks, parsnips, sweet potato and swede.
From the orange in your Christmas stocking to the apple in your pie, there are so many fruits that taste great at this time of the year. Some of the most popular fruits to use in Christmas desserts and puddings include bramley apples, clementines, cranberries, dates, pears, plums and chestnuts.
Succulent meat and flavoursome fish will take centre stage on your plate during December. While turkey is perhaps the most common meat for the season, other yummy alternatives include duck, goose, grouse, lamb, pork and venison. For the seafood lovers of you, why not tuck into salmon, mussels or whiting – they’re extremely tasty at this time of year.

Led by Design: A Sleek, Luxurious, Contemporary Kitchen
Design was of paramount importance for Derick and Mandy when it came to choosing a kitchen company to replace the kitchen in their Barrowford home.
They approached three other kitchen companies but Kitchen Design Centre and Designer Suzanne Ryan were the obvious choice: Kitchen Design Centre's design focus, instead of a heavy sales approach impressed them and they were delighted with Suzanne's first design, feeling she understood the brief to create a high-end kitchen.
Suzanne changed the layout of the kitchen space completely. Their existing kitchen lacked flair, consisting of a peninsular-based layout which resulted in a lot of wasted space. She totally reconfigured it, creating a much more open space and introduced a large island in the middle of the kitchen which not only creates a focal point in the room but also provides the perfect dining area.
