Happy hosting
Impress without the stress this Christmas with
these top tips for planning the main festive meal
YOUR GET AHEAD CHECKLIST
✔ Guest list
Send invites and find out
who can make it, or set up a
talk to everyone easily in
one place. Check any dietary
requirements and make a
note of anyone who is vegan
or vegetarian or has any
allergies, so you can be
prepared with a few alternative
dishes (see p13 for some great
veggie and vegan options).
✔ Plan your menu
Whatever festive meal you’re
hosting, start by deciding
what main-course centrepiece
you would like to serve and
then build your menu from
there with side dishes that
complement it. For inspiration,
check out our complete menu
plans for every party size
(p15, 26, 41 and 61).
Turn
to p49
for party
planning
tips
✔ Space-savers
Give some thought to how
you’re going to cook all of your
food, bearing in mind what
you can fit in the oven. If space
is going to be tight, use the
hob or microwave for some
dishes. Or use another piece
of equipment such as a slow
cooker, which is great for
red cabbage or mash, to
free up space elsewhere.
✔ Pots and pans
Do a stock check of your pots
and pans – are they the right
size for the dishes you’re
cooking? Investing in a large
roasting tin with a trivet is a
great idea for your turkey, and
don’t forget to buy an extra-
large roll of foil for your bird.
✔ On schedule
Create your timetable for
Christmas Day by deciding what
time you want to serve dinner,
then work back from there.
Calculate the cooking time
of your main joint (for turkey
times see p24), then work
out when it needs to go in the
oven. Remember to include
resting time in your plan.
Planning
✔ Stock up
Do a thorough audit of your
storecupboard and buy in
any sauces or condiments
you need. As well as food for
the main meals, it’s a good idea
to have some simple nibbles
on standby in the snack tin
or the freezer for when
unexpected guests drop by.
For inspiration, see from p48.
✔ Keep it fresh
If you buy in your fresh food
a few days before you plan
to cook, then make sure you
refrigerate everything well
to avoid having bedraggled
ingredients when you use
them on Christmas Day. Put
fresh herbs in a glass of water
in the fridge to prevent them
from wilting – and try adding an
apple to your bag of potatoes
to keep them from turning
before you need them. It’s
also a great idea to pop a piece
of kitchen paper in your salad
bags, to absorb any moisture
and stop lettuce going soggy.

HOW TO COOK TURKEY

Your guide to serving a standout bird

Choose your size Time it right

You’ll find serving size advice Cook your bird at gas 4, 180°C,
on product packaging, but fan 150°C and see the front
these are a rough guide: of the pack for cooking times.
As a general rule, the bird is
Turkey weight Serves cooked for 20 mins per kg, plus
either 1 hr 20 mins or 1 hr 45 mins,
2.50kg – 4.49kg 6 – 10 depending on the weight. (If you
40
4.50kg – 5.99kg 11 – 14 do add any stuffing to the bird,
6.00kg – 7.49kg 15 – 18 make sure you weigh it afterwards.)

Show it some love

Don’t skip the prep
Keep your turkey well chilled in
the fridge, then bring it out
one hour (no more than two)
before cooking to get it to room
temperature. Remove the neck
and giblets, if they’re included.
You can use them to make gravy
(see our tip on p27). Don’t wash
the bird as this can spread
harmful bacteria.
Full flavour
To allow the bird to cook
evenly and safely, it’s best to
cook your stuffing separately,
rather than inside the bird.
You can, however, add bay
leaves or halves of lemons
or clementines to the cavity
for extra flavour. Rub the skin
with butter or oil and season
well for a golden skin.
Baste your bird for juicy meat.
Once the turkey starts to release
its juices, spoon them over every
40 minutes, working quickly so
as not to lose too much heat.
Check it’s done
Insert a kitchen thermometer into
the thickest part of the leg, being
careful not to touch the bone. If
it reads 75°C, then it’s done. If it
doesn’t reach this temperature,
return to the oven for 15 mins and
re-test. Or you can insert a skewer
into the thickest part of the leg and
check the juices run clear.
Well rested
Let the turkey rest for at least
30 mins, covered loosely in foil.
This allows the juices to reabsorb
into the meat for the most tender,
and delicious results.

serve to your guests or slice the
meat parallel to the bone. Leave
the drumsticks whole or carve
down the length into slices.

joint, then use the point of the
knife to carefully cut through.

holding your knife at a slight
angle and carve diagonally
downwards, away from you.

CATERING FOR A CROWD

Try these great ideas for planning your party food
Create an easy menu
Consider how to balance the
dishes you’re serving when you
plan your menu. It’s a good idea
to have a mix of protein and
carbs, lighter and richer food,
plus vegetarian and vegan
options. If you serve a selection
of cold canapés, which you can
put straight out, along with hot
options that take a bit of time to
prepare, then you won’t spend
all your time in the kitchen.
Do the maths
Work your space
Move furniture out of the way
to give guests space to mingle,
and push a table up to the wall to
act as a main food station. Dot a
range of other nibbles in dishes
at different points around the
room to avoid a bottleneck at
the buffet table – and save you
having to wait on people.
Let your food shine
Something like a glazed side of
salmon (p17), croquembouche
(p8) or cheese celebration cake
Borrow the essentials
If you haven’t got enough
glassware, crockery or cutlery,
ask your friends to bring some.
It’ll save you forking out for things
you’ll only use once, and it’s
greener than using disposable,
non-recyclable plastic.
Provide a bar
Designate another area for drinks
– red wine and soft drinks can go
on a table with glasses, then fill
buckets with bottles of white
wine and beer. Don’t forget

Celebrate good times

Work out how much food you’ll
need – a good rule is to allow
five or six bites per person, per
hour (people tend to slow down
after the first hour). Guests will
Get your party off to a fabulous start with tempting small bites and eat more if you’re hosting over
lunch, dinner or suppertime.

corkscrews and bottle openers,
so guests can help themselves.
Rather than mixing cocktails to
order, jug cocktails are a brilliant,
cost-efficient way of serving a
crowd – prepare a few in advance
and put them in the fridge.

dips in small bowls, or little

● Looking for something a little
different instead of bread or
pastry to hold your snacks?
Rounds of cucumber are
great for stacking with

Scatter over chopped fresh
herbs, spring onion, sesame,
or even pomegranate seeds.
Wedges of lemon and lime
also bring a nice pop of
colour and can be squeezed
over for extra flavour.
● If you’re arranging food on
a buffet table, create height
and interest by displaying
some things on flat platters,
and others on cake stands.
● Dust mini desserts with icing
sugar, or even a sprinkling
of edible glitter, to give them
