Christmas is the time for family, friends, festivities and food! Do you enjoy cooking and impressing your guests on Christmas day or do you find that a little stressful?
Should we stick to tradition or try something new?
Our favourite home cooks from Dishing It Up are back to find out, as they take on the challenge to replicate the Christmas dishes by celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver, Rachel Khoo, Adam Liaw and Marco Pierre White.
Here's what's on the menu.
Jamie Oliver’s garlic bread
Jamie Oliver is the epitome of Christmas and didn’t disappoint in his latest series, Together at Christmas. Watch our home cooks take on - a healthier version of the traditional garlic bread, replacing butter with cream cheese.

Setting their stopwatch, our home cooks take it into their own hands, as they see ifis really a 5-minute job.
Rachel Khoo’s roast young chicken
In Rachel Khoo’s latest series Chocolat she is determined to coat everything in chocolate, even at Christmas going so far as adding chocolate to gravy which catches our home cooks by surprise and with mixed reactions. What do you say to this ?

Adam Liaw’s turducken terrine
With Maggie Beer as his guest, Adam Liaw’s twist on the turducken leaves our home cooks divided. While Hari can’t get his head around the concept of three birds in one dish, Jonathan is unfamiliar with the term terrine, constantly surprised by it being a dish served cold.

Marco Pierre White’s mushroom 'Christmas tree'
Possibly one of the wackiest recipes ever tested on Dishing It Up, Marco Pierre White’s was full of surprises. Watch the home cooks take their creativity to test, as they use anything from a skewer to a meat thermometer to turn their mushrooms into a Christmas tree.

Gok Wan’s whole barramundi
In Gok Wan’s Easy Asian Christmas, this fashion icon turned foodie serves up a whole seabass (barramundi in Australia) with a sizzling dragon sauce which involves pouring smoking hot oil over finely chopped garlic, spring onion, and chilli. Needless to say, the experiment set off a few fire alarms but impressed all home cooks with its flavour.
Jessica McGovern's coal cookies
Channelling ‘bewitched’ vibes, Jessica McGovern’s show Flour Power left our home cooks either confused or intrigued in the case of Jen, channelling their inner 50s housewives.

Delta Goodrem’s pavlova
Initially confused by whether using a store-bought pavlova was serious, the home cooks all ended up appreciating Delta’s humorous attempt to whip cream and decorate a pavlova using ‘edible’ flowers that were not edible, all whilst wearing a white frock.
