If your favourite way to get the festivities started is a fruity buck’s fizz or bellini, then you’re going to love the Seville orange spritz. This citrusy cocktail combines two much-loved bottles: La Gioiosa Prosecco Gold and Fentimans Mandarin and Seville Orange Jigger. La Gioiosa is a familyowned winery in Treviso, and this golden bottle is Italy’s marketleading prosecco. Meanwhile, Northumberland-based Fentimans has been perfecting its botanically brewed soft drinks since 1905. Put them together and you’ve got a fresh, fun and fabulous drink just right for the season.

California walnuts are great to have around for so many reasons. First of all, they’re one of the most nutritious nuts – research suggests that the nutrients and minerals found in walnuts could help to support heart, brain and gut health (just 30g can fulfil an entire day’s requirement of omega-3 fatty acids). Then there’s their versatility. These delicious nuts have a mild sweetness and add a sun-ripened crunch to a wide range of recipes, from main meals and salads to desserts – or you can always grab a handful to snack on. If you’re cooking for friends at Christmas, try them sprinkled on to a hearty ragu, mixed into a fruity crumble, baked into crusty rolls, or arranged atop a showstopper cake.
