Christmas Dinner Starter
32 Answers
Oven space will be at a premium on Christmas Day so I want to serve a hot starter for Christmas dinner that I can cook in advance and reheat in the microwave. Does anyone have any suggestions, apart from soup? I would have liked to do a goat's cheese tart with puff pastry but I've read that pastry gets a bit soggy when reheated in the microwave.

Personally, if you’re determined to do a starter, I’d do a cold one, something like a prawn cocktail type thing, or home made smoked mackerel pate, or toast, pate and a lovely chutney.
You’ve enough to do without worrying about a hot starter (not many hot starter type things do well heated in a microwave in my experience).
