SPECIAL SECTION: SUMMER ENTERTAINING
Christmas Day
THE AUSSIE WAY
We spoke to some of Australia’ s best-loved chefs about how today’ s Christmas celebrations shake up old traditions – and bring new flavour and flair to festive tables.
BY JANE DE GRAAFF
Over the decades, the way many Australians celebrate Christmas has evolved. The central table laden with epic roasts, steaming puddings and backlit by a roaring fire is a romantic cold-weather vision, but it just doesn’ t reflect the glorious reality – and variety – of an Australian Christmas. Instead, many Aussies are embracing our abundant and varied produce, cultural diversity and unique landscape. So we spoke to some of the best chefs in the business to get their tips on how to celebrate in style. >
