• The wonderful chaos that goes into Christmas lunch preparation usually begins the day before, on Christmas Eve, with much moaning about how, once again, you’re left to do everything by yourself and how, after last year, you vowed you wouldn’t prepare the meal by yourself again!

    But alas, you’ve poured yourself a glass of something and put on some festive music, and just like that, you own the kitchen and secretly love it!

    For everyone else who would prefer to be served a Christmas lunch without even catching a glance at the kitchen, we’ve got you covered.
