Feasts for Two

<p>A festive feast that lets you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with family. Begin with golden saffron arancini filled with slow-cooked veal ragu. For the main event, slow-reared Creedy Carver duck is stuffed with dried apricots, chestnuts, ceps, sausage meat, and duck liver, then flavoured with Marsala, citrus, and sage.

"It gives you that lovely Christmassy feeling." On the side, there's crushed rosemary roast potatoes, and wilted cavolo nero with a moscatel and shallot dressing.</p>
