57 touchdown-worthy Super Bowl food ideas

So tasty, you won’t even care if your team loses.

Super Bowl LVII is on its way, where the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, while I might not know much about the NFL, I DO know good food. Which is why I’ve pulled together these Super Bowl food ideas and snack recipes to help make you the MVP of your game day celebration. Get ready to go big or go home!

57 winning Super Bowl food ideas

Whether you’re going to be host with the most or you’re wondering what plate to bring to someone else’s Super Bowl party, these recipes will be the main event.

Quick Chorizo Beef Tacos

We’re rocking the retro vibes and bringing back crunchy shell tacos, filled with fresh toppings and a deliciously charred beef and chorizo mix that’s smoky and spicy. Nostalgia never tasted so good.

Japanese Nagoya Fried Chicken Wings

Double-cooked fried chicken wings are twice as nice, in my opinion! These Japanese-style Nagoya wings are all crunch, with a delightfully light glaze that keeps things crispy and joyous.

4-Ingredient Sticky Ribs

It doesn’t get much easier than this: sweet, sticky pork ribs with a hum of background spice… and just four ingredients involved!

Asian-style Sweet Potato Tots

These are like tater tots – only better! The perfect Super Bowl food for one-handed eating while watching the game.

Thai Southern Fried Chicken

It’s the Super Bowl dish of champions: fried chicken. Serve with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and hear the crowd go wild.

Spicy Hot Dog Bao

Soft, fluffy bao buns, crispy coleslaw and statement condiments to round things off nicely. You’ll be barking mad to not include these on your Super Bowl spread!

Sticky Chilli Ginger Pulled Pork Nachos

Slow-cooked pulled pork, marinated in a sticky chilli ginger sauce, then baked with cheesy nachos. Is your mouth watering yet? This is one epic party dish – it makes two trays so there’s plenty to go ‘round!

Vietnamese Sweet Potato Prawn Fritters

These bite-sized fritters are AMAZING. Crisp and savoury with sweet chunks of delicate prawn, they’re ideal dipped into a tangy sauce. What a winner!

Asian Sticky Ginger Pork Ribs

All good things to those who wait… These sticky pork ribs are phenomenal already, but if you can plan ahead for overnight marinating, I promise it’ll be even more worth it.

Thai Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Packed with spicy tom sum ‘slaw, crisp lettuce and fresh tomato, your Super Bowl party guests will want to get their hands round one of these bad boys, quicksmart!

Chinese Spring Onion Pancakes

Make the traditional restaurant classic at home with my version of Chinese spring onion pancakes. Add a spicy dipping sauce and you’ve got a real people-pleaser on your hands.

Crispy Baked Hot Wings

Yes, you CAN get seriously epic chicken wings in the oven! This spicy version is lip-smackingly good and will go down in history as one of the best Super Bowl food ideas ever.

Thai ‘Krapow’ Pizza

Pizza is ideal for game day, if you ask me. But why bother waiting on ridiculous delivery times? Here’s how to make your own, with spicy pork, chillies and fragrant Thai basil on top of a crispy, chewy homemade pizza base.

Spicy Fried Chicken Bao Buns

Eyes on the game, not the buns. We know – when they look this delicious, it’s hard.

4-ingredient Korean Pork Ribs

Spicy, fall-off-the-bone meat that everyone will want to dig into.

Coconut Sweet Chilli Chicken Tenders

Sweet chilli sauce is perfect for dipping and drizzling… but using it as a marinade for these crispy, crunchy, finger-lickin’ chicken tenders takes them to a whole new level! The Super Bowl party food that will be devoured even before kickoff, guaranteed.

Honey Lemon Chicken Wings

Impossibly crispy chicken wings and the most delicious sweet and sticky glaze… there’s no soggy skin in sight with these fried little friends of mine!

Thai-style Prawn Toasts

I love these mini morsels as a party snack… and I love the fact I can make them ahead even more!

Easy Christmas recipes for a tree-mendous celebration

From holiday ham recipes and side dishes to roast pork and desserts, here’s our pick of easy recipes for Christmas and beyond.

If you’re looking for easy recipes this Christmas to wow your loved ones this holiday season, you’ve come to the right place. Expect all the classic dishes (ham! sprouts! turkey!), but in true Marion style, I’ve given them an Asian twist. Here’s a round-up of all my best Christmas recipes that are perfect for entertaining friends and family.

Easy appetisers for Christmas

Got loved ones round yours this year or need to bring a plate to a relative’s place? These are some of my favourite flavour-packed, totally moreish but simple Christmas appetisers, which also double up as great party options.

Barbecued King Prawns with Lemongrass Butter

Charry prawns on the barbecue… there’s not much better in my book come Christmas time. Not only are these sweet and succulent ones dressed to impress, but they taste equally as epic. Served with a knockout nuoc cham, you can’t get more people-pleasing than my Barbecued King Prawns with Lemongrass Butter. Napkins at the ready.

Garlic Pork Toasts

These Thai pork toasts are little bites of heaven. The best part? They’re a wonderful make ahead dish – spread the pork paste on to your toast rounds, then freeze them until the hordes descend. It makes for a bit less stress on Christmas Day!

Crispy Thai Laab Meatballs

If you thought meatballs were always bland and tasteless, think again. These gorgeous bites are Thailand’s version of a spicy meatball – crunchy and gnarly on the outside, and jam-packed with freshness and flavour on the inside. Light, fresh and the perfect way to get the party started.

Thai Spring Rolls

It wouldn’t be a proper spread without the humble spring roll. Here’s a traditional spring roll recipe, with a pork and vegetable filling. Delicious served with a selection of sauces on the side (sweet chilli or sriracha? You do you!), or a homemade nahm jim sauce.

– Thai-style Prawn Toast

– Cheesy Sesame Pull-Apart Bread

– Prawn Cocktail Bao Buns

Christmas mains

From crispy roast pork with crackling and traditional Christmas turkey to glazed hams and stunning salmon, here are the Christmas main courses Yule be craving this year.

Asian-style Porchetta

If all you want for Christmas is the ultimate crispy pork crackling, then you’re in luck! This crispy porchetta has a centre of juicy pork and a vibrant, flavour-packed Thai-style pesto. It truly is a showstopper of a roast. You could serve this with a fresh Asian ‘slaw or my next-level Smoked Chicken & Shiitake Stuffing.

Sticky Chilli Ginger Ham

No festive spread is complete without a Christmas ham, I reckon. Not only will it feed the fam on the day itself, but if you’re wondering how to use leftover ham, then it’s ideal in dishes like fried rice, omelettes, sandwiches and more after the big day wraps up. In a sea of Christmas recipes for ham, this one boasts a Sticky Chilli Ginger glaze everyone will love.

5-spice & Orange Turkey Roll

It wouldn’t be right if there wasn’t a roast turkey recipe in this list! My version is fuss-free, with no legs or wings to fight over with the family: just juicy, succulent meat and an epic spring onion filling. It might not be the most traditional turkey, but it certainly is one of the tastiest. A meat thermometer will help you achieve that perfect internal temperature so you don’t serve up dry turkey – definitely enough to put you on Santa’s naughty list!

Honey Soy Butterflied Chicken

Not a turkey kinda person? Then try this chicken. With a charry skin and an epic marinade infusing into the meat, this is one dish to savour… and the fact it’s butterflied makes it so simple to cook on the barbecue. Yep, my Honey Soy Butterflied Chicken is a true treasure of a recipe.

Honey-glazed Tea-smoked Salmon

Nothing impresses quite like a side of smoked salmon as a Christmas main dish. You don’t need any specialist smoking equipment for my salmon recipe, and it’s great served up whole on a platter so everyone can help themselves. Definitely a good option if you’re looking for Christmas seafood recipes.

You might also like:

– Crispy Roast Pork with Asian ‘Slaw

– Sticky Glazed Char Siu Ham

– Hoisin and Bacon Butter Turkey

Don't forget the gravy!

My Five Spice Cherry Gravy tastes divine with roast pork, chicken and turkey, so be sure to rustle up a vat of the stuff, as everyone will want extra. What’s more, it keeps in the fridge for up to two days, so it’s a great make ahead recipe for Christmas. Alternatively, make it on the day so you’ve got plenty to go with all those Christmas leftovers!

Christmas sides

These simple Christmas side dishes recipes are the perfect accompaniment to your roasted centrepiece. Vegetables, salads, stuffing and potatoes… there’s something for everyone this holiday season.

Smoked Chicken & Shiitake Stuffing

Say farewell to soggy, bland Christmas stuffing – this one is crispy, delicious and full of flavour! Bursting to the brim with smoked chicken, water chestnuts, Chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms (a great pantry essential to have in your cupboard), it’s ideal served with roast pork, turkey or chicken. And you can even make it the day before to cut down on your cooking workload on the big day.

Epic Korean Potato Salad

Bring some freshness to the festivities with this stunner of a salad. Pops of apple, creamy potatoes and crunchy cabbage bring the party to the tastebuds… and everyone’s invited! The Korean chilli flakes in the dressing are next-level, too. Dive in to my Epic Korean Potato Salad, my friends.

Cheesy Gochujang Hasselback Potatoes

If this roast potatoes recipe doesn’t appeal, I’m not sure what will. Cheesy, spicy, garlicky and all-around epic, these are not your average Christmas side but who cares when they taste this good.

Potato, Pea & Mint Salad with Lime & Coconut Dressing

If you’re in a part of the world where you have a sunny festive season, you can’t go wrong with a fresh and easy Christmas salad. I love the pops of mint, crunchy radish and sweet peas that make up this one. Need a noodle fix? This Sticky Honey Prawn Noodle Salad is also a winner in my household.

Sweet Chilli Bacon Brussel Sprouts

These charred, umami-packed roasted sprouts are the absolute antithesis of soggy boiled greens! Bring Brussels back into the spotlight with this ultimate Christmas vegetable recipe.

– Coconut Chilli-Glazed Sweet Potatoes

– Roasted Coconut Sriracha Cauliflower

– Treasure Rice Stuffing

Christmas desserts

End things on a sweet note with these epic desserts for Christmas – rich, smooth and oh-so good. Go on… treat yo’elf!

Aussie Mango & Coconut Pavlova

If ever there was a quintessential Australian dessert, it would be the pavlova. Crispy meringue with a fluffy marshmallow centre, topped with sumptuous cream and tropical mango for pops of fresh fruit. This one is light as a cloud… and just as dreamy.

Black Forest Ice cream Sandwiches

Oozy, chewy, sticky and totally moreish… these Black Forest Ice cream Sandwiches are the dessert of dreams. They look super impressive, but are so easy to make thanks to using store-bought ingredients. Because, let’s be honest, I’d rather spend the time eating them than making them! Ideal for your celebrations (or those ‘just because’ occasions).

Candied Ginger and Cherry Christmas Wreath

Is it a dessert… or is it just something to have on the table and attack as you drink some festive cocktails? Either way, it’s a total stunner. My Candied Ginger and Cherry Christmas Wreath looks every inch the part: a homemade bread glazed with a cherry and ginger jam to bring on all the festive feels. And while it may look intricate, it’s surprisingly easier than you think to create. Sweet, fruity and with the perfect hum of Christmas spices, it’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost…

Chai-spiced White Chocolate Cheesecake

This white chocolate cheesecake is a total showstopper. Piled high with fresh, tart berries and with a delicate chai-spiced flavour, it’s a must-have Christmas dessert. Second helpings? It would be Rudolph not to.

You might also like:

– Miso Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Sauce

– Bounty Bar Brownies

I hope this round-up of simple recipes for Christmas has inspired you this year. Season’s eatings to you all!

The 10 best cocktails that’ll cause a stir at your celebrations

Say “sip, sip, hooray” to these refreshing recipes and party-time pairings.

Nothing says celebration more than loved ones at your place and an array of vibrant drinks to keep the good times going. Whether you’re enjoying Christmas festivities with the fam or more of a ‘just because’ sitch going on with friends, we’ve got the goods. So raise your glass, grab the shaker and say cheers to my all-time best cocktails recipes (with a little help from my friends at Fever-Tree Australia).

10 best cocktails worth celebrating

Who needs to go out when you can rustle up these easy cocktails at home? I’ve got spicy, zingy, fruity and even non-alcohol cocktail ideas to bring the bar to your place.

1. White Sangria Punch

This White Sangria Punch is a light and zingy Christmas cocktail to share with loved ones. And just look at those ice cubes!

If you don’t serve punch, is it even a party? This White Sangria Punch is the perfect festive refresher to get the good times going. With a pinot grigio and cointreau base, it’s light, fruity and full of citrus notes… and it’s all thanks to that soda pairing. Because it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that zing: this zesty wonder unites Tahiti lime from Mexico for the perfect sharp-to-sweet ratio with Japanese yuzu for its incredible floral flavour. It’s light, it’s got bite and it’s GOT to be on your table this festive season.

And would you just take a look at those cool-as-anything ice cubes, my friends. Frosty fabulousness bursting with fruits and herbs to make this perfect punch sing even more.

2. Vodka, Cherry & Pink Grapefruit Cooler

Muddled cherries, tart pink grapefruit notes… this is both fruity and fabulous.

If you’re in the mood for a long and refreshing sup-worthy quencher (because Christmas is thirsty work, fact), this Vodka, Cherry and Pink Grapefruit Cooler is tart, tangy and pretty darn terrific in my book. Muddled cherries make friends with a pink grapefruit soda, with premium vodka adding a touch of “don’t mind if I do” (leave that last bit out if you do in fact mind though!). Now it’s time to don that Santa hat, raise your glass, and say merci, mon cherry.

3. Peachy Long Island Iced Tea

Got guests? Then they’ll be peachy keen for a pitcher of this sup-worthy cocktail.

Now this is my kind of iced tea: peach purée, makrut lime syrup and a symphony of spirits that harmonise with Fever-Tree’s Smoky Ginger Ale – where earthy ginger meets prominent but clean smoky notes. Topped with chargrilled peach cheeks, my Peachy Long Island Long Tea is a refreshing choice this Christmas, come rain or shine. Plus it’s perfect for sharing!

4. Blood Orange Whisky Collins

Simple but satisfying, this whisky collins gets a blood orange twist and the result is FINE.

So you want to wow your guests with your cocktail skills this Christmas BUT you don’t want to be stuck in the corner by the drinks trolley all day? Then this Blood Orange Whisky Collins is WHERE. IT’S. AT. Because the method behind this one is so incredibly easy: pop ingredients in a shaker and bust out your best Tom Cruise moves, pour over ice, then top with Blood Orange Soda. Job done, down the hatch, cheers my dears.

5. Elderflower & Raspberry Sorbet Slushie

Ditch the booze without losing out on flavour with this fabulous alcohol-free cocktail.

For any non-alcohol-drinking guests, try this Elderflower & Raspberry Sorbet Slushie – also a guaranteed winner with the littlies. It’s got sweet and floral notes as well as tangy tartness from the raspberries. Oh, and not to mention it’s got serious cool factor.

6. Pina Colada Vodka Soda Pop

If you like Pina colada… then you’ll love this fun popsicle take on the classic cocktail.

I’ll take my cocktail in frozen form, please! If you like pina coladas, then this is the love you’ve looked for. These refreshing, citrussy and coconutty Pina Colada Vodka Soda Pops bring some fun to the festivities and are a great make-ahead option for a party. Three cheers for adults-only popsicles!

7. Mango, Mint & Cucumber G&T

One sip of this and you’ll be transported to tropical paradise.

This fancy twist on a classic gin and tonic developed by Fever-Tree Ambassador Trish Brew (check out her top cocktail-making tips) combines fresh mint and cucumber with the sweetness of mango. Oh, and there also some rather beautiful botanicals in the mix thanks to Fever-Tree’s Aromatic Tonic Water. Mix, stir and sip your way to a tropical island this Christmas.

8. Blood Orange Margarita

Zesty, spicy, salty… this margarita is all the zings.

My Blood Orange Margarita is a delicious twist on the classic cocktail. It’s a heady mix of tequila, cointreau, lime, agave syrup and a delightful dousing of Italian Blood Orange Soda. And the salty rim? That, my friends, is a lip-smacking, tingle-tangly salt and Sichuan peppercorn combo that totally hits the spot.

9. Dark & Stormy

This Dark & Stormy cocktail is drinkable whatever the weather!

Could this be Christmas in a glass? My version of a Dark & Stormy cocktail is the ultimate tipple to curl up by the fire with this holiday season (or, in my case, under the air-conditioning unit!). A delightfully drinkable blend of spiced rum, lime, festive spices and ginger beer… bottoms up. Fancy a no-alcohol version? No worries! Avoid the rum for a virgin version that tastes equally as epic.

10. Classic G&T

Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic…

I’ve got friends who’ve always said they aren’t gin fans, but I’d actually go as far as saying it’s the tonic water that’s previously put them off. This Classic Gin & Tonic recipe of mine uses Fever-Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic Water, and it really does make a world of difference. Give it a whirl and see what you think.

So there you have it: my ultimate top 10 best cocktail recipes for you to make at home. I can’t wait to hear what you put in poll position!
