Hosting Christmas lunch always seems like a good idea until you’re stuck in the kitchen, crisping roast potatoes and thickening gravy. If you’re on hosting duties this year, Providoor has an easier solution, with festive feasts delivered direct from the city’s best restaurants to your door – all you have to do is finish them at home.

To help you spend more time with friends and family and less time cooking, here are five Providoor options for Christmas lunch this year.

Curtis Stone’s Christmas Sides Pack
A seat at one of Curtis Stone’s lavish Los Angeles restaurants is probably a little tough to swing for Christmas Day, but this pack lets you grab a taste at home. Consider these sides as a perfect foil for some home-cooked Christmas centrepieces such as a baked ham or roast turkey, so you and Stone can split the credit. Here you’ll find five dishes, such as baby kipfler potatoes with garlicky mojo sauce, salmon with gin mayo, and burrata with pea pesto, with more than enough to serve eight people.

Supernormal’s Festive Banquet
Supernormal is famed for its eclectic spectrum of Asian flavours, all of which combine here for a perfect eight-dish Christmas Day feast for two. There are cult-classic lobster rolls from chef Andrew McConnell, spring onion pancakes, a show-stopping burnt mandarin and five-spice glazed duck, and cherry and chocolate mousse topped with black sesame praline to finish you off.

The Atlantic’s Classic Christmas Feast

If you light up like a Christmas tree at the thought of fresh seafood, this eight-dish feast from The Atlantic Oyster Bar and Restaurant will do nicely. In typical Atlantic style, you’ll find a dozen oysters, king prawns and a chilli-infused Moreton Bay bug spaghettini alongside a few Christmas classics such as turkey roulade, and pudding with tonka-bean custard and toffee. A very generous feast for two.

Three Blue Ducks’ Summer Eating Sides Pack

This pack from Masterchef judge Andy Allen’s Three Blue Ducks is all about the sides. There’s classic roast potatoes with confit garlic butter, burnt cabbage with smoked tomato butter, and burrata with a zesty macadamia crumb. Just add your favourite protein for the main course and you’re set.

Entrecote’s Mr Jones Half Leg Christmas Ham
Nothing says Christmas lunch quite like a mighty ham. This half dressed, leg bone-in, 4-5-kilogram ham from Entrecote is the ideal centrepiece for those big family dos, feeding up to eight people with minimal fuss (or providing endless sandwiches the week after if you’re shorter on numbers). It comes ready to glaze with Mr Jones’ ham glaze and even comes complete with a large roasting tray.
