The Bunyip Hotel has been an institution in Cavendish since the 1840s, delivering great fare, beer and wine in a true country pub setting.

This bacon edged terrine is easy to make and delicious
served with leftover festive potato salad, crackers and a chutney or relish of
choice.
Romancing diners with classic charm, LoLuk Bistro in Surry Hills, is inspired by family recipes and the south of France. Their offering is a double cheese souffle, mushroom cream and salad, made with any cheese, salad and vegetables remaining from Christmas.

Mop up the coconut cream sauce with rice and grilled pita bread, as a quick and easy dinner utilising leftover roast turkey, in the days straight after Christmas.
Looking for a way to use up some of that remaining Christmas ham after all the relatives have gone home? These ham, zucchini and ricotta fritters have a soft, creamy middle and are great served with a salad, tomato chutney or beetroot jam.
