TOM’S TURKEY DINNER
Food-wise, Christmas Day means different things to different people. Some people like it to be the smartest meal of the year, so they plan it with precision, get out their good wedding china, dress up, and sit down to a full four or five courses, with wines to match. For others, it’s just a time to catch up and relax over a big roast with everyone in their comfies, and then hibernate for the day. I’m a bit of both camps – the turkey I roast has to be special, but it doesn’t need to be difficult. I’m also more inclined to have a special late breakfast and skip the Christmas starter, but I usually make a dish that fits both if that changes. So, here’s how we do Christmas lunch round ours – everything you want is there, but it’s all been given my little touch of chef’s magic – whether you want to dress up or down to eat it is totally up to you.
Happy Christmas!
