Christmas is a time to eat, drink and be merry! It’s up to all of us to bring the ‘merry’ to this equation, but it’s time to spare a thought for those who are in charge of the ‘eat’ portion. Because behind every table laden with delicious things is a slightly exhausted and frazzled foodie in the kitchen. Some start menu-planning in October with military precision, while there are those who take more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants approach. (NB: this author firmly sits in the first camp and breaks out in a cold sweat at the very thought of casually approaching Christmas lunch.)
It doesn’t matter if they’re a cook or a chef, a gourmet or a gourmand, strategic or spontaneous – we’ve got you covered.
Dig in!
