Christmas menu: cheese an spinach wreath, mushroom and chestnut cannelloni, and puff pastry Christmas trees

We always look for ways to put some veggies on the table, and Christmas time is no different. A Christmas meal with plenty of vegetables is not a synonym for a boring meal at all. Furthermore, with all the appetizers you probably will have on the table—your guests may like to bring some stuff to help a little bit—we’ve got some light options.

A starter even your father-in-law will like

Our wreath recipe looks delicious, and it tastes even better. Does it have cheese? Of course. But with a type of cheese everybody can enjoy, even if you are vegan. With easy-to-find ingredients and some pine nuts, you can prepare the filling the day before and forget about rushing the day of the meal.
