My networking brunch today was all about Christmas meal planning. Thinking about getting organised for feeding friends and family over the festive season without feeling overwhelmed, trying to do too much, spending a fortune or turning yourself into an overworked restaurant chef!

This celeriac and apple soup is a perfect dish to serve over Christmas. It’s quick and straightforward to make, doesn’t have an ingredients list as long as your arm and yet can be served elegantly enough to suit the occasion. The stuffing crumble will surprise and wow your guests!
