okay it’s that time of year it’s
Christmas and that means it’s not only
the best time of year but very possibly
the most stressful time of year so I
have put together a whole load of tips
cheats hacks shortcuts that can help you
make this Christmas the best one ever
cranberry sauce making your own is a joy
I always use frozen cranberries in my
book I’ve got the most fantastic
cranberry sauce recipe with maple syrup
and cinnamon and it’s gorgeous but many
of you yes many of you get jarred
cranberry sauce and it’s good it’s
really good but what I want to show you
is how you can cheat and really pimp up
this cranberry sauce to be even better
than ever before but unbelievably simple
so think about some fruits that are in
season apples pears quinces slice them
up get rid of the core and just lightly
fry them in a little butter and a few
bay leaves a little cinnamon in there
and a tiny bit of sugar and you can
start to caramelize those fruits those
chunks and those flavors will really
really lift the flavor of any standard
cranberry sauce in a matter of minutes
you can take shop-bought cranberry sauce
that’s very convenient and make it super
super exciting that my friends is a
brilliant little tip pigs in blankets I
love by people so much but they can be
way more exciting the original pigs in
blankets is a really good chipolata
wrapped in smoky bacon what I want to do
is embellish it by putting some sage on
a love sage and then the next one black
pudding just break it out of the skin
and then you can Bri mold it almost like
the same shape as the sausage so so good
and last but not least fantastic brie or
camembert cheese you know that that’s
going to cook up really really good take
a little time and I also like to take
just a little bit of walnut look at that
combo so they’re in an oil train they
can go in a fridge for two days you can
put me in the freezer
you can cook them from frozen until
golden and crisp about 20 minutes at 190
degrees Celsius 3 set
Fahrenheit and there you go that is a
beautiful pigs in blankets and their
cousins and friends and if you want more
ideas have a look at the book there’s
loads another great little tip is to
make a get a head gravy there’s a lot of
things going on on Christmas Day so what
I do is simply roast off a load of
veggies and chicken wings add some pork
some flour some stock simmering out I’ve
got a beautiful recipe I can give you
but then most importantly weeks in
advance you can bag up incredible gravy
and then with this I freeze it flat and
when you put it in a freezer flat like
this it’ll become like a little booklet
and you can put that efficiently into
the freezer waiting for the big day now
when it is the big day no matter what
you’re roasting whether it’s a turkey
adjoined a beef or pork or whatever you
take that meat off to rest and then you
skim the fat off of your roasting tray
and then you can add a little water and
then crack open you get a head gravy
there’s nothing better than to make
gravy with another gravy double gravy
double pleasure what you waiting for
make this Christmas gravy the best one
yet go for it let me give you a tip a
hack that absolutely rocks the world of
the best roast potato we have very
agreeable looking roast potatoes they’ve
been parboiled they then being tossed in
a little butter and olive oil
they’ve been roasted and now they’re
golden get something flat like a masher
they accentuate this roast potato by
just lightly squashing it making more
surface area for the crispness and we’re
letting the kind of inside just puffs
out once you’ve done this you will never
ever ever look back
put the sage on the top like this they
go back in the oven for 10 minutes and
these herbs will become delicious then
there’s one last tip vinegar get down
the chemist buy one of those empty
little spritzes basically put vinegar in
there and as the potatoes come out you
give them a little spritz like that and
it immediately evaporates and puts a
kind of Tang on your rice potatoes well
like you can’t believe
beautiful what you’re waiting for get
roast him and get squash in good luck I
hope you have the best Christmas ever
without too much stress take care
