Whether you’re planning to feed the world or just your special loved ones this holiday season, delve into the Gastro Card’s guide to cooking a perfect Christmas, featuring tempting recipes from top Birmingham chefs.

For starters, you might choose to have a go at the asparagus with poached quail’s eggs, which comes courtesy of Steve Love at Love’s Restaurant. Anderson’s Bar & Grill offers up the honey-glazed dexter boston rib of beef, while Michelin-starred Edmunds suggests a rich chocolate marquise with mango coulis.

But don’t worry if you’re a stickler for tradition at the Christmas table. Not only does the GastroGuide feature a classic recipe for roast turkey and stuffing, it includes a timed schedule to help you cook and serve up your pièce de résistance with military precision.
