Welcome all Foodlovers
With the festive period nearly upon us, it is time to start talking turkey. We all have our family traditions, but sometimes it's nice to stir it up a little and off er guests something of a surprise, that’s why in this year's festive issue we have some alternative Christmas dinner centrepieces (p.9), from rolled lamb to turkey en croute.
As a helping hand to make Christmas as stress- free as possible, we have enlisted the expertise of
brilliant butchers, Jon T orners', to give us the ultimate guide to cooking meat to ensure that whatever you are cooking, your meat is en pointe.
T e most important aspect of Christmas is to have a good knees-up with family and friends, and we have some brilliantly easy sweet and savoury canapé ideas (p.21) to keep you out of the kitchen and topping up glasses. Marry them with some of our Christmas cocktails and you really will be the ultimate festive host.
Duck, parsnip and Jerusalem artichokes are all on the seasonal menu (p.32) with cooking tips and recipe ideas from the professionals. We also have some wonderful winter tarts, making use of seasonal ingredients, as well as stunning show-stoppers perfect for your festive table.
Take inspiration from the Nordic nations for a cosy Christmas as we look at how the Scandinavians do it (p.67), and it wouldn't be Christmas without the little ones so we've got some brilliant festive-inspired recipes (p.70) to keep them busy in the kitchen over the holidays.
Another jam-packed issue of cookery inspiration, beautiful recipes and handy tips from the professionals to create a fabulously festive Christmas. So, it just leaves me to say, Merry Christmas FOODLOVERs. I hope you have a fantastic festive period with your loved ones. I already look forward to off ering you more tasty off erings in the new year.
