Christmas with Le Cordon Bleu

This year's magazine is full of incredible Christmas recipes from Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs and alumni, and wine advice from Matthieu Longuere MS.

From Karl O'Dell, executive chef at Cord restaurant, we have two elegant seasonal recipes, Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs cover festive feasts of all sizes, provide a selection of magnificent sweet centrepieces and a range of fabulous gourmet gift ideas.

Alumna Jane Lovett shares her tips on how to get ahead with preparations for Christmas alongside a tantalising recipe from her latest book, and alumna Charlotte O'Kelly discusses her expanding bakery business, Astrid, and brings you a delicious twist on the classic trifle.

We haven't forgotten about the drinks either, Matthieu Longuere MS provides some excellent advice on what to drink with your Christmas meal, and provides a run down on the latest beverage trends. We also have a selection of classic festive cocktails, including a special recipe from head bartender at The Savoy's American Bar, Angelo Sparvoli.

There's even more to read inside this year's issue, and you can view a digital copy of the magazine by following the link below, or buy a physical copy at WHSmith, Waitrose and independent retail stores.

With very best wishes and happy Christmas from all of us at Le Cordon Bleu London.
