Book description
Penguin Specials are designed to fill a gap. Written to be read over
a long commute or a short journey, they are original and exclusively
in digital form.
Christmas dinner is perhaps the one meal of the year where even
the most relaxed cook feels the pressure of perfection - and,
although few menus can be more familiar, it's probably the one we
all feel the least confident about.
Cooking Christmas dinner can be stressful, but there's no need
to rifle through recipe books, or frantically Google turkey cooking
times on Christmas morning as Felicity Cloake has tried and tested
recipes from all the greats - from Nigella Lawson and Simon Hopkinson
to Delia Smith and Mrs Beeton - and pulled together the best points
from each to come up with the ultimate Christmas Day recipe
collection.
Based on Felicity's popular Guardian column, Perfect
Christmas Day combines invaluable prepping and cooking tips to
calm the most frazzled of festive souls and, of course, fifteen
delicious recipes. From mulled wine, blinis, stilton
souffl s and the perfect prawn cocktail to turkey and
gravy, stuffing, sprouts, roast potatoes,
pigs-in-blankets, nut roast, and cranberry and bread
sauce, to trifle, mince pies and brandy
butter, Perfect Christmas Day is all you need to prepare
the perfect Christmas dinner.
Felicity Cloake is a journalist and food writer from London. She

Knives magazine and has a weekly column in the Guardian.
