Hello, Hi, I love this. 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: It's four episodes and it's kind of like a four 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: course meal, am I right? 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: It is with all the trings, all the bits and 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: pieces and the decorations to boot. 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: Mmm, is Christmas your favorite time of the year to 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: feed people? Donna? 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: And look, I am self confessed quite good at feeding 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: people at anytime the year, but I just think Christmas 14 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: and that whole season of Christmas entertaining is one of 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: my fates. So but it can be quite stressful for 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: lots of people. So I thought I'd dive in and, 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: you know, show you a couple of tips and tricks 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: and make it a little less stressful. 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah, food is a big part about Christmas, of course. 20 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: Well for starters. What about episode one? You're talking starters? 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, starters. Well, I think starts are tricky, you know, 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: because you can get really caught up in them. They 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: can get really detailed and before you know it, it's 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: two o'clock in the afternoon and there's no mains insight. 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: I've kind of done really really simple things, warm olives 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: and you know, things that you can get on the 27 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: table without much fuss, because there is a lot to 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: do on Christmas. 29 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: So it's the start. In episode two, we're talking ham 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: and we're talking turkey. Do you have to have them both? 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: Woke? Yeah? No, and I think you can split it. 32 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: I did both because I know that some you know, 33 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: some people are definitely camp have to have glazed ham, 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: other people are turkey. So I thought I should show 35 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: boats because the turkey is dry brine, which make sure 36 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: that it stays really juicy, because it is such a 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: beast of a thing to cook, if I can say, 38 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: and let me cook it once a year, so ticky. 39 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: And then my double glazed ham is the trick that 40 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: you kind of flip it so you don't have to 41 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: open the oven door like fifty times trying to get 42 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: it glazed and all the glazes stuck on the hand. 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. And also it's probably thirty nine degrees. 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: Christmas door of the oven. Yeah, yeah, dope. 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: You I must admit I'm more of a turkey person. 46 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: But I'm not really a hand person. But Christmas Day 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: is that one day of the year, or I just 48 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: love a bit of hat half off the bone. I 49 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: just get it's different. So Christmas does bring that out. 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: And desserts is episode three. Pavlovs there, of course. Plus 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: you are reimagining the trifle I am. 52 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: Indeed, I've kind of thrown out to bits that I 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: didn't like. Yeah, from the riend of the jelly bitch, 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: you know, because everyone you know, the old packet jelly. 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 2: That's just a hard though, and I pay. 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: More. 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: My version.
