BBC Good Food
I celebrate the winter holiday that goes from the weekend before 25th December until January 2nd. However, many people in my family celebrate Christmas. They come to me for a slap up meal as I have my own house with plenty of room for a party.
I'm not a skilled chef so my challenge is to cook a meal that everyone enjoys while making it easy for myself.
I have to cater for veggies and meat eaters.
I have already shopped for the food, decided my menu and planned my preparation on Christmas Eve.
This is my menu:
- Starter:
Smoked Salmon Nibbles; Dips and Hummus with breadsticks and pretzels plus carrot, peppers and cucumber crudites
- Main Course:
Turkey breast roast; Turkey and gammon roast; Meat sausages; Vegetarian sausages (A poor alternative but it's what they wanted.)
Turkey gravy, Cranberry sauce, Mint sauce
Roast potatoes and Roast parsnips
Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots
Breadcrumb stuffing; Yorkshire puddings
- Dessert:
Trifle
Lemon Tart
Apple Crumble
Ice Cream, Cream
- Cheese and Biscuits:
Selection of cheese bars (Cheddar, Gloucester, Red Leicester) plus Port Salut, Edam and Cheshire
- Coffee(with added alcohol if people want), mints
Today is 'defrost day' as you see above.
Wish me luck!!
