Whilst you may not necessarily be wishing to splurge this Christmas (those Molton Brown crackers are the stuff of fantasies), you may not be too fussed when it comes to being savvy. It’s Christmas, after all! Maybe you’re just looking to be clever; to provide an enjoyable and perhaps even an extravagant meal for your close relatives, without any overly extravagant prices.
