Stress-Free

Christmas Lunch For 8 For Under $100 (page 4)

Christmas time and I’m in the zone: three children aged 7 or younger and they all “believe”. Woe betide any worldly 10 year-old who tries to persuade them otherwise. As the big day approaches, the imminent arrival of Santa provides me with an unusually strong bargaining position from which to lord it over my offspring – I do, after all, have a hot line to the North Pole and I’m not afraid to use it.

The British “condition” is to moan about all the work and hassle involved in Christmas but we love it really.

And when you’re lucky enough to be sharing the festive season with young children it’s a wonderful reminder that the “magic” of Christmas still survives.

We hope COOK will be part of your festivities.As you’ll see inside, we’ve certainly got some remarkable

Feeding A Crowd Catering for a crowd is easy with one of our slow-cooked casseroles, simply thawed and then heated gently on the hob in a big pot.

It leaves your oven free to cook some canapĂŠs to serve with drinks, while pudding can be ready-and-waiting in the fridge.

Hot Food for 20 on the hob

with 5 of our Beef Bourguignon 4 portions

1 The day before: put your COOK Beef Bourguignon in the fridge to thaw.

2 One hour before

you plan to serve (or before your guests arrive) decant the Beef Bourguignon into a big pot on the hob.

3 Warm over a low

heat for 45 minutes (or until the sauce begins to bubble and the meat is piping hot in the centre) stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
