Here is a few minutes from a live stream demonstration at Ballymaloe Cookery School.
A traditional Christmas dinner in the UK is a festive feast centered around a roasted turkey, often stuffed with sage and onion or chestnuts, and accompanied by rich gravy and cranberry sauce. Side dishes typically include roast potatoes, parsnips, and seasonal vegetables such as Brussels sprouts and carrots, often glazed with honey or butter. Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets (sausages wrapped in bacon) add indulgent touches to the meal. The table is often adorned with Christmas crackers, which contain small toys, paper crowns, and jokes. For dessert, a flaming Christmas pudding, infused with brandy and studded with dried fruits, takes center stage, served with brandy butter, cream, or custard. Mince pies and a cheeseboard may also make an appearance, along with mulled wine or a warming glass of port. The meal is a cherished tradition, bringing families together to celebrate the holiday with warmth and abundance.
As we step into the festive season of 2025, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Season’s Greetings! May this joyous time be filled with warmth, love, and good cheer, whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Yuletide, or simply enjoying the holiday spirit. Here’s to a festive period of decking the halls, exchanging gifts, and cherishing moments with family and friends. May your days be merry and bright, your hearts full of joy, and your New Year ahead shine with promise and prosperity. Wishing you tidings of comfort and joy, and the happiest of holiday seasons!
