    We like to mix traditional and modern at our Christmas table. Familiar dishes stir memories of past festivities, while a few new twists keeps things interesting.

    These dishes do all those things. Creole spices and a crispy coating make my prawn cocktail a delight of texture and flavour, while turkey curry is stepped up in my patties (both recipes are on page 50). Just a glimpse of those yellow pastry semicircles – a staple snack in Jamaica – is enough to excite me. Plus, my coconut & mango trifles (p51) combine my favourite tropical flavours with one of my top Christmas desserts. Everyone will love these.
