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.

Chiswick’s Spring Slow-Roasted lamb feast

Matt Moran’s slow-roasted lamb shoulder is Chiswick’s signature dish and, while you could make it yourself, this pack makes things a whole lot easier. Across seven dishes for two people, you’ll find the lamb backed by fresh, kitchen garden-inspired sides such as roasted butternut soup, tabouli and confit garlic hummus, and Jerusalem artichokes with spicy honey.

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.

Nour’s Seasonal Vegetarian Banquet
Surry Hills diner Nour is dedicated to showcasing the breadth of Lebanese cuisine, and this vegetarian banquet is rich with spices and seasonal produce. If you’re looking for a plant-based Christmas menu that steers clear of festive tropes, this seven-dish banquet for two is ideal. You’ll find mushroom shawarma with yoghurt bread, roasted beetroot with sheep’s labneh, an inventive orzo with Arabian-style XO and plenty more.

Vic’s Meat Pork Belly Porchetta
Wholesaler Vic’s Meat – from Victor Churchill duo Victor and Anthony Puharich – supplies meat to dozens of the best restaurants around Australia, and now you can get in on the action. This three-kilogram pork belly porchetta is easily enough to feed eight with plenty of leftovers and, with the main event taken care of, all you need to do is whip up a few fresh salads and condiments and you’re on easy street.
