Traditional Christmas Dinner Reviews
Newest Review: ... covered in paper from the presents. Family and friends surround the table. There is love and laughter to wash down all of that food. Then at 3 o'clock when you are nearly finished up, the Queens Speech! and of course a tin of chocolate roses! This year we did not have a 'traditional' Christmas dinner. We were invited to my Mothers house (as we are each year) but this year down to the fact that the weather was so bad, and my mother living over an hours drive away and with our baby due on the 3rd of January we made the decision to stay at home. We did not want to cook a big bird just for the two of us. Well there is firstly the expense o... more

The traditional Christmas dinner usually conjures up images of a nice big roast turkey or goose (if you are really traditional), roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, stuffing, delicious smelling gravy, pigs in blankets and of course where would Christmas dinner be without a brussel sprout or two?... the list is endless... all followed by the traditional lit chistmas pud! That comes with cream, brandy sauce or just plain old custard. The table is full of food, there are crackers to be pulled and wine to be drank. The time where over indulgence is something to be celebrated. The tree is there decorated, the candles are lit, the floor covered in paper from the ... Read the complete review

Traditional Christmas dinner has to be one of the nations favorite meals for many reasons,A- it's chance to stuff your face with lavish foods and not care about how much you eat, and B- It's an extra special meal as you sit down with your nearest and dearest to enjoy this special day. Since moving into my own house 3 years ago we have always been invited to my parents or my partners for Christmas dinner, therefore have not had chance to fully cook a whole Christmas dinner from scratch and entertain guests at the same time in the comfort of my own home, although this year will be different, my family are coming over as in the year we have moved into a bigger place ...

I absolutely love christmas time and i always have my family around for chrismtas dinner each year. Altogether i cook for five adults and seven children. It's a bit of a squeeze at the dining room table but we all manage and it's the only time of the year we do all come together for dinner. I tend to do a three course meal and i cook what people all like in my family. On the table aswell is drinks that include, bottle of red and white wine, non alcoholic drinks such as water and fizzy white and red grape drink in a bottle like a wine shape (sorry can't remember what it's called as my sister generally brings it with her for the children and i'm of ...

This the one meal I love cooking the most. I usually cook the Turkey the day before, because my lot like it cold on the day. So I cook it with an onion and an apple inside, and smokey bacon rashers covering the bird to stop it burning. Cook it slowly over a few hours mmmmm yummy. On Christmas morning then I can get to grips with the veg which usually includes. Roast Parsnips, Sprouts, carrots and Peas. Good old Roast Potatoes which have been part boiled and salted, then roast gently. I make stuffing balls, with stuffing and sausage meat. Whilst thats all cooking and the gravy is smimmering made from the turkey juices and onions. I sit down with a glass of wine and ... Read the complete review
