Customer Reviews

THE ONLY CHRISTMAS COOKING DVD YOU WILL EVER NEED.
This is a fantastic dvd - everything simplified and explained in detail - starting with the preparation on Christmas Eve and then the big day itself but the wonderful added bonus is that you can you these receipes all year round - the herb butters, cooking veg, making stuffing - so this is a DVD not only for Christmas - buy it.

Brilliant stuff!
I have played this over and over again and it's great to get you prepared for Christmas and to remind you of the things that you need to buy. Tips on preparing things in advance are very useful.
Great food and great entertainment - highly recommended!

Superb. Jamie at his very best. Gets you in the mood for Xmas too!
Okay. This DVD is fantastic in many ways.
Firstly, Jamie has prepared a set of instructional cards that come with the DVD. These take you through the recipes described on screen.
Jamie takes you through how to cook the perfect Xmas lunch over 2 days: Christmas Eve (preparation) and Christmas Day (cooking).
I myself have had many compliments from people over my gravy, chicken and roast potatoes since I followed Jamie's recipes.
He shows you how to baste perfectly, how to make the best gravy on a vegetable trivet, how to prepare the veg (complete with flavoured butters) etc...etc.. Basically, everything is here.
And just for fun, an 'extra' is Jamie's '-top tips-' for Christmas. And he serves the meal up to his family at then end. Very Christmassy.
Okay, I'm a bit of a Christmas nut, and I have many, many Christmas DVDs. But this one I start watching in September, as it reminds me about great tips for cooking, not just a Christmas lunch, but sunday dinner too!
Great value for money that goes beyond Christmas and into everyday throughout-the-year cooking. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
