What’s in season in December? A collection of recipes perfect for using up Christmas leftovers and feeding crowds for a holiday celebration.

We’re kicking off a new regular post here on The Cook Report. We really try to cook seasonally so that we get the best ingredients and do our bit for the environment so I thought it would be useful to give you a bit of a guide each month of how you can use the recipes on my site to cook in season.
