Christmas is approaching, and our minds inevitably turn to one of the most cherished parts of the celebration food. But not every person has the time, cooking abilities, or desire to cook a big holiday dinner. If you are thinking about a five-star Christmas dinner without the stress of cooking it and washing it up, then have One Fine Dine on your mind.
One Fine Dine: The Concept Behind It
Launched in 2020 by Daniel Hulme, One Fine Dine brings the art of fine dining to your home without the pretence of hustle and bustle. Hulme, who has over 13 years of experience crafting gourmet meals for private aviation clients through his sister company On Air Dining, has upped the game, serving effortless, chef-prepared meals.
Hulme says: “Our food is eaten worldwide on the finest private jets, but now you can do this in your own home, with minimum prep and only a microwave oven.”
One Fine Dine is the only company delivering Michelin star-quality meals made to order, hand-delivered fresh and frozen. Even novice cooks serve them elegantly, with recyclable packaging and simple preparation instructions via YouTube.
The Festive Feast Experience
One of the big themes is indulgence, and the epiphany is with the feel food of the five-course festive menu at One Fine Dine. Here is a taste of what you can expect:
Starters
We started out with Scottish Balik salmon and smoked caviar, a dish so good that you could not help but be surprised at how easy it was to make. It is melt-in-your-mouth texture and delicate flavours set the tone for the rest of the meal.
Main Course
A Norfolk Bronze turkey paupiette centred the meal, with pancetta wrapping contributing to a succulent centre. Every bite was swoon-worthy, accompanied by flawlessly roasted potatoes, cider-soaked red cabbage, and winter roots.
Dessert
After the main course, we had some time to relax, and then there was an attempt at a whimsical Christmas Mess with festively poached pears, chestnut purée, gingerbread meringue, and luscious crème Chantilly. The petit fours capped off the experience, and we wanted Christmas to last forever.
A Menu for Every Palate
One Fine Dine’s festive menu provides something for everyone’s food preferences, from traditional holiday menu items to vegetarian or vegan options. The menu spans succulent beef fillet to exquisitely plated plant-based dishes, so everyone is covered. It is a culinary journey that exceeds even the highest expectations.
Convenience Meets Luxury
One Fine Dine makes the festive season simple: two dishes for £197.50, including a bottle of wine and delivery to London and the Home Counties. Orders can be placed online from 27 November to 6 January, and the chosen delivery time slot will be available. The only challenge? Pitchford is choosing which dishes to order!
Final Thoughts
One Fine Dine is for those who appreciate the finer things in life but do not want all the stress accompanying holiday cooking. The menu of this service is expertly crafted and won’t take too much effort to prepare the meal.
Christmas, One Fine Dine will do all the work so you can dedicate your time to creating family memories over a stunning feast.
