Putting this seasonal special together has really gotme into the Christmas spirit this year and I hope it does the same for you.

heavingwith festive foodie ideas, recipes, tips and
gifts.Not surewhat to cook for themain event? Turn to page 11 nowand flick through to page 17 for top Christmas dinner tips from the likes of PaulAinsworth and Rick Stein. If you’re planning tomake your own Christmas pudding this year, Sunday 24th
November is the day to do it – turn to page 20 to find
outwhy.Meanwhile, for the obligatory Christmas cheeseboardwe sought the help and advice of The Cheese Presswho specialise in fineWest Country cheeses – see page 33 formore on that.

some great edible gift ideas frompage 40 including the old classic, Turkish delight.
