The big event
Is almost here, and it brings with it mixed emotions: if you love the festivities that dominate the month, there’s anticipation and excitement. But, whether or not you revel in those celebrations, there’s a huge amount to get done and stress levels can run high. As well as putting ridiculous pressure on ourselves to create – and live – the festive dream, the reality is we still have to get a wholesome dinner on the table at the end of the working day to feed hungry mouths – even if only our own – in the run-up to the 25th. So you’ll find a raft of down-to-earth recipes alongside a 94-page cookbook of special festive ideas to guide you through December with wisdom and verve.
