New Idea
When it comes to Christmas, everyone has their own food traditions.
Whether it’s an irresistible trifle, a chewy pavlova topped with seasonal fruit, a glazed ham, or even gingerbreads, every family has their own speciality.
Each dish makes Christmas memorable, which is why New Idea wants to hear from you.
If you have a dish you make every year without fail, we want you to tell us about it so you can win $2,000 for your own Christmas feast!
Have a Christmas recipe you love making every year, and everyone begs you to bring it when you visit? You could be one of 10 people to win this prize.
Did I mention that your recipe will be published in a December issue of New Idea?
That way, if someone asks for your recipe, you don’t have to send handwritten notes covered in food, or screenshots of typed recipes, or even lengthy texts.
You just point them to their closest newsagency or supermarket to get an issue of New Idea!
