encoded: All around the world, 17 March is marked by copious celebrations, complete with free-flowing pints of stout, street parades and dinner parties. So why not gather round your family and friends for a gourmet spread in ode to St Patrick and the emerald isle? We’ve put together a celebratory menu plan to serve six people, with optional drinks suggestions. Start with a batch of warm Irish soda bread, followed by a hearty Irish stew and creamy colcannon side. Finish with a slice of warming Irish coffee cake, washed down by an Irish coffee and you'll have yourself one satisfied crowd. For more Irish-inspired recipes and drinks recommendations, see our guide on how to celebrate St Patrick's Day. The recipes Aperitif Get the party started with a few glasses of bubbly – but not as you know it. Our black velvet cocktail mixes equal proportions of stout and champagne to make a sparkly celebration drink. So raise a glass to St Paddy and prepare to impress your guests with a medley of Irish-inspired delicacies... Starter Soda farls Kickstart your dinner party menu with these traditional soda farls – an Irish soda bread flattened into a circle and divided into four 'farls'. Using just five ingredients, and ready in under half an hour, they make a staple dish for St Patrick's Day celebrations. When you're ready to serve to guests, split open and eat warm with butter. Another option would be to try our brown butter boxty blinis for an indulgent twist on classic Irish pancakes. Main Irish stew Celebrate St Patrick's Day with Richard Corrigan's Irish stew - it's big on flavour, even bigger if you make it ahead and quite literally, let it stew. Using a cheaper cut of braising meat such as lamb neck fillets or scrag ends means you'll reduce costs but maximise on flavour. Why not make it ahead and let it stew for a little longer until the lamb is extra tender, or see our slow cooker version of this recipe. For a plant-based main course, check out our showstopping cheesy leek & potato pie…

As much as I love flipping up a homemade crêpe (or ten), sometimes it's just as enjoyable to go out and sample the extensive array on offer in London's brunch houses, cute cafés and restaurants. From classic American buttermilk towers and cloud-like Japanese soufflé stacks to mini Dutch poffertjes, there's something to suit everyone. Having been lucky enough to sample my way through some of the capital's best brunch spots and pancake cafés, I've rounded up my all-time favourite picks, taking into account sweet and savoury variations and a range of dietary options. So whether you’re planning a Pancake Day pilgrimage or simply chasing the best brunch in town, there's plenty to tempt your fancy. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and we welcome any recommendations of pancake places you’ve visited and loved in the comments below. Top tip: if you are heading out on Pancake Day itself, we recommend avoiding peak brunch and dinner times in the more busy central locations where seating is often limited, or otherwise allowing time to queue. You could also opt for some of our suggestions further out and always book ahead if given the option.

encoded: For many, a roast turkey is the pride and joy of the festive season, so nailing the perfect recipe on Christmas Day can seem like the ultimate challenge. Everyone has their own special take on this centerpiece, so why not check out our 10 all-time favourite recipes to get your creative juices flowing. Whether you want a classic whole bird, a smaller crown, a twist on the traditional, or the chance to show off, we've got the turkey for every occasion. For lots of helpful cooking advice, read our foolproof turkey guide and tips on how to cook a turkey. You can also follow our video for step-by-step instructions on how to carve your bird at the table. Our best ever turkey recipes 1. Classic roast turkey Celebrate Christmas the traditional way with this classic roast turkey recipe. To ensure it stays beautifully moist, the bird is part-cooked in a parcel of foil with a glass of red wine and streaky bacon draped over the breast to protect it. Nutmeg provides subtle spicing, and we'd suggest adding apricot sausage skewers and stuffing around the turkey 30 mins before the end of cooking for extra meaty flavour. 2. Air fryer turkey crown If oven space is tight this Christmas, try our easy air fryer turkey to free up room for all your festive sides. Just be sure to check the size of your air fryer before buying your bird to avoid any last-minute surprises on the day. 3. Turkey crown with roast garlic & pancetta If you have a smaller crowd to feed or just don't want to content with bones when carving up a whole bird, then a turkey crown is the perfect alternative. This Italian-style recipe is wrapped in crisp pancetta slices, which locks in moisture, and is stuffed with a fragrant lemon and garlic ciabatta mixture. We've ramped up the flavour even further with a sweet, boozy kick from marsala in the gravy. No wonder it's one of our most popular roast turkey recipes! Check out more delicious turkey crown recipes. 4. Next level roast turkey If you’re confident in the kitchen, t…
