Whipped ricotta with salted honey walnuts
Donna Hay’s Whipped Ricotta with Salted Honey Walnuts just might be the easiest, most delicious and impressive festive starter you can make. With the flick of a whisk, this whipped ricotta comes together so simply. Simmer honey on a premium Miele induction cooktop and flavour it with salt and rosemary. The combination of the light creamy whipped ricotta, with the salted honey, the earthiness of the rosemary and the crunch of the walnut, makes for the most perfect Christmas starter or entertaining appetiser.

Festive Tablescape Styling Tips
If you are looking for some styling inspiration, Donna Hay likes to create a festive tablescape that is an edible centrepiece full of different layers and textures, perfect for Australian summer celebrations. You can achieve this by using cake stands and footed compotes. Add a mix of berries, cherries and seasonal summer fruits, plus some store-bought and home-baked treats. Donna’s tip to create extra vessels with height is to use a combination of teacups and mugs, turn them upside down and then just top them with a snug fitting bowl or plate, making your festive table visually stunning and inviting.
