Every year our food team prepares and tastes hundreds of festive food products to recommend to our readers in the fabulous December issue of woman&home. The woman&home kitchen experts are now looking for the products that will make up the ultimate festive feast - will yours make the cut?

We want to try everything, from the very best Christmas classics, to the exciting innovations that will bring something special to this year’s festive table.

How we test:

Prepared and cooked by trained chefs at our test kitchens near Reading, each product is tasted as fresh as possible hot from the oven or chilled from the fridge, just as you would expect to eat or drink it at home. Under our judging panel’s belts are years of experience writing and developing recipes for magazine brands so we understand first hand how important it is that food delivers on flavour, looks, and value for money.
The merits of each product are at the front of mind when tasting - does it taste as good as the product description sounds and would I want to serve this at my Christmas table?
Products will be judged blind so the judges will only know the product description and will use their taste buds to seek out the best.
