We’ll have our main feast with my daughters sometime between Christmas and NY: Goose stuffed with apple, prunes and thyme. Roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, braised red cabbage, Brussels sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts. Pudding will be a Mont Blanc. Cheeses and port to follow in the evening.

Breakfast:
Christmas Bircher muesli - with spices, clementines and nuts.

Lunch:

• Bubbly and some very light canapés (or DS will scoff the lot and not have room for mains)

• Porchetta

Pigs in blankets (yes, it’s pork, but how can you not have them on Christmas Day?) Roast potatoes and parsnips Brussels sprouts with chestnuts Some other greenery for DS who is a sprout hater

• Baked Alaska! Never made it before, but have set aside next weekend to make the orange and vanilla & cardamom ice creams as well as the slightly boozy chocolate sponge. Fingers crossed it works out.

Full-on turkey and trimmings happening elsewhere at a belated family Christmas do. Can’t really do turkey twice in four days.
