Festive feasts, zero fuss: Christmas recipes for when you can’t be bothered

Less faff, more festive: three Christmas dinners for when you’d rather be decking the halls than washing up - (Sorted Food)

Christmas cooking doesn’t have to be a grand affair with mountains of washing up and a shopping list as long as Santa’s naughty-or-nice list. Sometimes, you just want to embrace the festive spirit without all the faff. That’s where these three simple, comforting recipes come in. Think all the festive flavours you crave, none of the hassle you don’t.

We’ve kept things pared down: minimal ingredients, maximum flavour and clever use of cupboard staples to keep your fresh shopping list (and food waste) to a minimum. Whether it’s a one-tray wonder, a speedy steak supper or stuffing so good it deserves the spotlight, these recipes are perfect for anyone who wants to feel festive but, frankly, can’t be bothered.
