Planning the Perfect Free-From Christmas Party

If you have ever planned a party then you KNOW how hard it can be to get everyone to agree and with awareness of dietary requirements on the rise we have curated a menu of our best free-from recipes! Every recipe is gluten-free and vegetarian, and can be made dairy-free and vegan with cheese swaps. Simply delicious and so varied that we hope no one will be left out! You can thank us later…
 
Almost all of these recipes can be prepared earlier in the day/ week and kept in the refrigerator/ freezer until you are ready to reheat or serve.

Finger food

Spicy Chilli Hummus is the perfect starter: light, tasty, and free from all the 14 major allergens. Plus it is easy to make in advance and serves cold so it won’t get in the way during the stampede of guests to the buffet.

Serve with our Buckwheat Bread to make the perfect warming start to your meal and to impress with the unique recipe.

Garlic and Chili Kale Crisps are also easy to make but impressive to serve. Crunchy and with a kick of chilli, your guests will keep coming back for more.

Finally these Courgette & Mozzarella Melts make adorable snacks and by swapping the mozzarella for a vegan alternative you can ensure everyone enjoys these little bundles of joy! Prep the day before and just pop in the over before serving.


Top Tip! Always label each recipe with the ingredients used and provide clean serving spoons for every dish to make sure your guests are confident in the food you serve.
