Côte Restaurants has unveiled a range of Christmas boxes featuring meals designed by former chef Gordon Ramsay – all delivered straight to your door.
Steve Allen, who previously ran Michelin-starred restaurants under the 57-year-old celebrity chef, used fresh, seasonal ingredients to highlight the best of French cuisine while adding a twist of Christmas classics.
Premium delivery service Côte at Home has conjured up three luxurious Christmas feasts, complete with simple instructions that take the stress out of cooking this holiday season.
The modern French brand delivers hassle-free meals – freshly prepared by experienced Côte chefs – ready to be plated in less than three hours.
All three Christmas boxes have even been specially designed so that meals can be reheated at the same temperature in the oven, giving you more time to relax with your loved ones.
