Christmas is much more than one meal: it's a season of celebration. Delia Smith presents an array of mouth-watering treats from truffles and syllabubs to the more traditional mince pies. Party-time is also catered for, and vegetarians can enjoy a menu that has moved on since the nut roast. More than anything, though, Delia's ideas, experience, planning and thoughtfulness ensure that cooks at home responsible for the Christmas meal have all the information they need to make a memorable feast.
