Cuisine Fiend's Christmas Collection

Thu, 5 December, 2019

Don't get drunk before the turkey goes into the oven. Mind the allergies. Make lists. Nobody's ever too full for the pudding. Food wasting is the cardinal sin of holidays. You might falter before panettone but you CAN bake a delicious julekake. 8 pound turkey cooks 3 hours. Do you need a starter? Serve cheeses for carb-dodgers. Gravy is more important than a roast. Absolutely everyone loves roast potatoes.

Some surprisingly good and some completely useless Christmas tips; bad puns and pretty snowflakes; my Christmas commandments and common sense cooking advice: all here in Christmas Collection.
