Add some bush food flavours - and a serious wow factor - to your festive table with these stunning individual trifles, which feature a cherry and riberry fruit layer, a wattleseed custard, tapioca and cherry cream.

In Ainsley's Christmas Good Mood Food, Ainsley Harriott is invoking some festive good mood and cooking up some great food - including a stunning triple layer spiced pear and ginger trifle. "Perfect for a Boxing Day treat or as an alternative to Christmas Pudding. Spiced rum is typically flavoured with vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon – spices that are a perfect match for pears and ginger. To make things easier I’m using tinned pears, but you can poach some fresh pears in advance if you prefer," Harriott says.
Ainsley's Christmas Good Mood Food airs 8.30pm 22 December 2023 on SBS Food. You can also catch the chef with the big smile in Ainsley's Fesive Falvours 7.30pm 1 December on SBS Food. Both specials will be streaming for a limited time at SBS On Demand after they air.

Christmas cake is pretty as a picture in this recipe. Also known as Cathedral or stained glass window cake, due to its exquisite appearance once sliced, this cake is dense with glacé fruit and nuts. And while it will keep at room temperature for up to a month, it only needs to be made one day ahead of serving. No weeks of fruit-soaking are needed for this one.
