For the sixteenth issue of delicious. on Sunday, which appears in Stellar magazine, we go on the hunt for the perfect Christmas ham. Ham has regained its place as the centrepiece of the festive table, so we asked a clutch of experts for advice on selecting, preparing and glazing the most succulent (and beautiful) one. Weight, price, origin, glazes and leftover inspiration—it’s all revealed in our indispensable guide.

For our weekly meal plan, we turn to British legend Jamie Oliver for his singular take Christmas feasting. Oliver’s exquisite recipes include roast duck, balsamic potatoes, cranberry sauce and a festive bombe for dessert. Meanwhile, in his regular column, Matt Preston ranks the best restaurant dishes of the year in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Some of the dishes may be familiar, while others are definitely worth discovering, if not travelling interstate for.

delicious. on Sunday also includes the latest news and reviews for each state on the eastern seaboard. In this week’s NSW edition, Anthony Huckstep assesses the new-look Aria, Matt Moran’s revamped Circular Quay icon. For the VIC paper, Dan Stock checks out Babajan, a sensational new Middle Eastern restaurant in Melbourne’s Carlton North. Meanwhile, Anooska Tucker-Evans samples Honeyeater Kitchen in Robina for the QLD edition.

delicious. on Sunday appears in Stellar every weekend. Stellar is available in The Sunday Telegraph in New South Wales, the Sunday Herald Sun in Victoria, and The Sunday Mail in Queensland.
