Serving scallops in the shell means there’s no need to get out fancy servingware. The salty savour of the bacon and blue cheese works a treat with the sweet seafood, as Hix Restaurants’ chef Ronnie Murray proves in this cracking canapé.

Cheese and pineapple is practically a British institution. The cheese in this recipe might sound bonkers, but rest assured Hix Restauraurants’ Ronnie Hix doesn’t need to be institutionalised – this cheesecake is a winner.

The perfect start to a hectic day dashing through the snow (or not) to gather elusive gifts that are conveniently stocked exclusively at stores scattered all over town. Better make it a strong one… Merry Christmas.

Smoked salmon canapés are a Christmas classic for a reason – they look pretty posh and taste just as fancy. Hix Restaurants’ Ronnie Murray makes the tried-n-tested combo tastier still.

Gü’s take on the classic martini introduces a good hit of cocoa alongside the hard liquor. Indulgent in every sense of the word..
