Q&A Home Economist Kirsty Racki’s handy tips on how to organise the Christmas kitchen... How do stop the fridge getting over-crowded? Lots of foods don’t actually need to be stored in the fridge, so to free up lots of extra space, store in a cool dark cupboard instead. Tomatoes, potatoes, courgettes and apples will all taste better if stored out of the refrigerator. Remember not to store apples and broccoli together or onions and carrots together – one effects the flavour of the other. To prolong the life of refrigerated raw meats, a good tip is to open the packet slightly to let the air get in.

How can we make preparing Christmas dinner easier? Prepare vegetables the day before. Simply chop as normal and then partially cook them. If you have a steam oven put them in the perforated tray and pop in the oven. If not cook them in a steamer on the hob. The secret is to make sure you plunge the veg straight into cold water to stop the cooking process. Then they can be covered in cling film and put in the fridge ready for Christmas Day.

Sausage Rolls Ingredients
Method
For the pastry 125g strong white flour Pinch of salt 75g unsalted butter, cold, cubed 50g mature cheddar, grated 75ml cold water 1 egg, beaten
1 For the pastry, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, butter and cheese in a bowl, make a well and add the water, mix until you have a firm, but rough, dough. Cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes. 2 In the meantime, for the filling, cook the red onion in a dash of oil for about 10 minutes, until soft and translucent. Remove from the heat. Once it is cool, mix it with the chopped sage, sausagemeat and seasoning. 3 Turn out the pastry onto a lightly floured board, knead gently and form into a smooth rectangle. Roll the dough until three times the width. Fold the top third down the centre, then the bottom third up and over that. 4 Give the dough a quarter turn and repeat the roll and fold once again. Chill the pastry for another 20 minutes. 5 When ready to use, roll the pastry into a long rectangle and fill a piping bag with the sausage meat and pipe it in a line along the bottom third of the pastry, leaving a gap between the filling and the edge. 6 Brush the pastry with egg wash, fold it over and seal it as carefully as possible. Cut into individual portions, place on a universal tray and brush them with beaten egg again. Slash the tops to create slits. 7 Place in the Miele oven on shelf position three, and select the Moisture Plus function. Set an oven temperature of 200˚C, and an Automatic burst of steam. Follow the on-screen prompts to add the water and then set a minute minder for 20 minutes. Cook until golden brown and crispy, then serve warm.

Steamed Gammon with an English Mustard and Demerera Glaze Method
Ingredients
1 Firstly heat the cider to simmering point in a saucepan on the hob. 2 Place the whole gammon into a solid steam container, and pour in the hot cider. Add 10 whole cloves, then cover the container tightly with tin foil. 3 Place the covered gammon into the steam oven and cook at 85°C for 2-2 1/2 hours, depending on the size. 4 After this time, remove the gammon from the cider, and place on a board. Gently remove the rind from the gammon, leaving intact as much fat as possible. Score the fat in a diamond pattern, then using a pastry brush, paint the surface with the mustard. Next, scatter over the sugar, then stud the surface with the cloves. Place the joint on the anti-splash over the universal tray from the single oven. 5 Switch the single oven on to Fan Grill, 210°C. Place the gammon on either shelf 3 or 4, and time for 5 minutes, then check and continue to grill until nicely glazed and bubbling. 6 Remove the grill, transfer to a serving plate and serve either hot or cold.
• 800ml cider • 1 x 1.5-2kg smoked gammon joint • 10 x whole cloves, plus extra for studding • 4 tbsp English mustard • 75g demerera sugar
APPLIANCE TIP * Fan Grill is great for all-round browning and glazing, or even for grilling whole fish with no need to turn

Ox Cheek Bourguignon Ingredients
Method
• 1.5 kg ox cheeks,
1 Start the marinade two days before you want to serve this dish, if at all possible! Place all the marinade ingredients in to a large bowl and submerge the meat. Cover with clingfilm, and refrigerate overnight. 2 The day before you want to serve the bourguignon, strain the meat from the marinade and set aside. Pass the marinade through a sieve to remove the vegetables etc, and pour the strained red wine into a jug and set aside for later use. 3 Now heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large casserole dish and sweat the finely chopped onion for the bourguignon for five minutes, until softened and translucent. Next add the garlic and cook for a further minute, cover and set aside until needed. 4 Now heat a further tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and when it’s hot enough (it should be smoking slightly) fry off the meat in batches, turning throughout to brown all sides. Repeat the process with all the meat and add to the casserole dish with the sweated onions. 5 Deglaze the frying pan with half of the strained wine marinade – as soon as the liquid boils, you will need to skim the white
trimmed and cut into large chunks
For the marinade
• 1 bottle full bodied red wine • 1 small onion, halved • 1 carrot, halved • 1 stick of celery, halved • 4 x garlic cloves, left whole • 6-8 x few black peppercorns • 6-8 x juniper berries • Bouquet garni (a sprig of parsley, thyme and a bay leaf)
For the bourguignon
• 4 tbsp olive oil • 1 onion, finely chopped • 2 garlic cloves, crushed • 200ml home made (or good quality) beef stock • 200g chestnut mushrooms, sliced • 200g smoked lardons • 100g pearl onions • •
(or small pickled silverskin onions) Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper Chopped parsley, to serve
Serves 6
impurities from the surface before adding to the casserole with the onions and meat. Repeat with the remaining marinade, and add to the casserole pan. Pour in the beef stock, bring to the boil and skim again if white impurities continue to surface. 6 Preheat the Sous Chef at the highest temperature setting in the Hot Food Section (85°C). 7 Cover the casserole pan tightly with a lid, place in the Sous Chef and cook for 12 hours (the maximum running time before automatic switch-off). 8 Before serving, heat up the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the lardons. Once they are nicely browned, add the mushrooms and cook in the bacon fat until they start to colour. 9 Add the lardons and mushrooms to the bourguignon, together with the pearl onions, and check the seasoning. At this point you may wish to reduce the liquid down slightly on the hob for a thicker consistency. 10 Sprinkle over some chopped parsley and serve alongside some fresh tagliatelle, polenta or dauphinoise potatoes.
APPLIANCE TIP * Use the Miele Sous-Chef for slow-cooking casseroles, curries or whole joints of meat

Mont Blanc Layer Cake
Steamed Light Christmas Puddings
Ingredients
Ingredients
• 5 medium eggs, whites only • 200g caster sugar, plus extra depending on taste • 125g icing sugar • 300g tinned unsweetened chestnut purée • 350ml double cream • 150g ricotta • The seeds from 1 vanilla pod • 75g dark chocolate, melted
• 225g unsalted butter, softened • 225g soft light brown sugar • 4 medium eggs • 350g self raising flour • 1 lemon, zested • 1 cooking apple, peeled and finely diced • 5 tbsp mincemeat • 2 tbsp mixed peel • 1 tsp mixed spice • Pinch of salts
Method 1 Cover three baking sheets with silicone paper. With a lightly buttered finger, trace the outline of an 18cm circle (or thereabouts) on each tray. 2 Gently warm the egg whites and the mixing bowl over a pan of very lightly simmering water, (though take care the bowl doesn't come into contact with the water, otherwise the egg whites will cook) then using an electric whisk, beat the whites to a stiff froth. 3 Sprinkle a quarter of the caster sugar at a time over the whites and whisk through on high speed until the grains disappear and the mixture ends up very thick and glossy. Sift and fold in the icing sugar until the mixture is smooth, then dollop a third of the meringue mix on to each prepared paper circle and spread into a disc shape with a spatula. 4 On Fan Plus bake at 130°C for about 90 minutes, or until crisp, slightly beige coloured and with a firm crust. Remove and set aside to cool. 5 In a bowl, beat the chestnut purée, 250ml double cream, ricotta, vanilla and enough sugar gently to sweeten it, until very thick. Peel one cold meringue from the paper and place on a serving plate. Spread with a third of the chestnut cream and swirl melted chocolate all over. Repeat with a second meringue, chestnut cream and chocolate, and top with the last meringue. 6 Whip 100ml cream until thick. Spoon onto the meringue top to make a peak, then swirl the last of the chestnut cream on top. Drizzle with melted chocolate and serve.

Method 1 Grease 12 dariole moulds with butter and keep cold in the fridge until they’re needed. 2 Sift together the flour, mixed spice and salt. Set aside. 3 Cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until the mixture is light and fluffy. 4 Add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. 5 Mix in the apple, mincemeat and mixed peel and whisk the mixture for another 10 seconds. 6 Gently fold in the flour mixture until it’s all combined. 7 Fill each of the moulds until they’re two thirds full and then cover them tightly with a piece of foil. 8 Place the moulds into a perforated container and steam at 100° for 35 minutes. They’re ready to serve.

• Crème fraiche
Method 1 Preheat the Combination Steam oven on Cake Plus 150°C. Lightly grease and line a 23cm springform cake tin. 2 Using an electric whisk, beat the butter, sugar and orange zest together in a large mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the flour, almonds and baking powder with a pinch of salt. 3 Stir through half the marzipan pieces and half the cranberries, then transfer to the tin and poke in the remaining marzipan and cranberries, making sure they are covered by the cake mixture. Transfer to a wire rack on shelf position 1, and set the minute minder for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 140°C for a further 50 minutes. Make sure that a skewer inserted in to the centre of the cake comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs on it, before removing from the oven to cool on a wire rack. 4 While the cake is cooking, make the syrup by placing all the ingredients in a small pan and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Poke holes all over the cake with a skewer as soon as it comes out of the oven, and pour over the syrup. Allow to soak in for 10 minutes before removing from the tin to cool completely. 5 When ready to serve, roughly chop the pistachios and scatter over the top of the cake. Dredge with icing sugar, and serve with crème fraiche.

The Ultimate Afternoon Tea Scone
Swedish Lucia Buns (Lussekatter)
Ingredients
Ingredients
• 600g plain flour • 75g caster sugar • 1⁄4 tsp salt • 5 tsp baking powder • 240g butter, cubed and chilled for at least 10 minutes • 2 eggs • 120ml milk • 150ml whipping cream
• 1tsp saffron threads • 250ml whole milk • 50g unsalted butter • 500g strong white flour • 20g fresh yeast • 1⁄2 tsp salt • 50g caster sugar • 100g soured cream • 1 egg • Handful of raisins
Makes about 24 x scones
Serves 4-6
Method 1 Place the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a food processor and pulse to combine. 2 Add the chilled butter cubes and pulse briefly to combine and give a breadcrumb-like consistency. Chill for 10 minutes 3 Combine the eggs, milk and cream in a separate jug or bowl and allow to chill for 10 minutes. 4 Preheat the oven on Moisture Plus 180°C, 1 burst of steam. 5 Fold the wet ingredients in to the dry to combine – but make sure you don’t overwork as this will make the scone tough. The dough should not stretch, but break apart in clumps. Chill for a further 10 minutes. 6 Tip the dough on to a well floured worksurface – don’t knead! Roughly flatten out the dough to a thickness of about an inch, either with a rolling pin or just your palm. Dip the cutter in flour and stamp out rounds, then gather up any scraps and gently re-ball and re-flatten to stamp out more. 7 Place the scones onto a baking sheet or two, place in the oven and release the burst of steam immediately. Set the minute minder for eight minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 170°C for a further 8-10 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are pale golden on top.
Method 1 Crush the saffron threads in a pestle and mortar with a teaspoon of the sugar. Then, in a saucepan, warm the milk, butter and crushed saffron until the butter is melted and allow to cool slightly (ideally body temperature). 3 In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and sugar and make a well in the centre. Add the soured cream and milk infusion and stir with a wooden spoon to bring together into a dough. 4 Knead by hand on a floured surface for eight to ten minutes or using a mixer until the dough is smooth. 5 Place in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and select the Prove Dough oven function at 40° for 40 minutes. 6 At this point, the dough should be well risen. Knock it back and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll each into a large sausage and then create an ‘S’ shape as tight as possible. 7 Place buns on a baking tray. Cover loosely with cling film and let rise for 30 mins at 40° on the Prove Dough setting. 8 Preheat oven using Moisture Plus, 220°, 1 burst of steam. 9 Brush the buns with a lightly beaten egg and then place two raisins on each roll in the centre of each circle. 10 Place the oven tray with the buns inside the oven, inject the burst of steam and bake for 15 minutes, allow them to cool on a wire rack slightly and serve.

Red Onion Marmalade
Pistachio and Ginger Biscotti
Ingredients
Ingredients
• 1 tablespoon olive oil • 50g butter • 600g red onions, sliced • 1⁄2 tsp salt • 1⁄2 tsp black pepper • 1 bay leaf • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves • 50g light muscovado sugar • 100ml dry red wine • 75ml sherry vinegar

Method 1 Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions, salt, pepper, bay, thyme and sugar and cook over a low heat for about 30-40 minutes. 2 Add the wine and vinegar, increase the heat and reduce the liquid by about two thirds for 25-30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves – you now have your jam which can be stored in a jar in the fridge if you have any leftovers.

and roughly chopped
Method 1 Cream together the butter and sugar, then gradually add the eggs. Stir in brandy and orange zest, followed by the flour, ground ginger and salt. Lastly, fold in the pistachios and the stem ginger. 2 Lightly dust a lined baking tray with flour and spoon the mixture onto the tray. Leave to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes so it firms up a little. Preheat oven to 170C. 3 Take the dough out of the fridge and, using your hands and a bit more flour, form a log shape about 25cm long. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool. At this point the log will be partially baked and quite soft. Adjust the oven temperature to 130C. 4 Once the log has cooled down, use a serrated knife to cut it across into slices 1cm thick. Lay them flat on the baking tray and return to the oven for about 40 minutes, or until crisp. Remove and leave to cool.

The Art of Choosing
WINE
Choosing the right wine has long been a mystery to many. Here are a few simple rules to help you get much more out of your wine FEATURE ANDREW COGHLAN OF COGHLANS SCHOOL OF WINE FOOD AND DINING
N
estled in the corner of a bustling business park between Sheffield and Chesterfield, is an innovative food/wine centre called Coghlans. Behind the modern façade of stainless steel and glass lies a traditional interior. Here people learn how to create the perfect recipe and balance the flavours of distinctive, seasonal foods with wines that harmonise on the palate. While some guests are busy in the cookery school making terrines or slow cooking a shin of beef, others are with Riedel wine glasses looking for that perfect Sauvignon Blanc or Malbec or learning the art of Sabrage or Champagne Sabering. At the helm, professional writer and broadcaster Andrew Coghlan hosts personal classes that reach out beyond the snobbery often associated with wine tasting – just good advice and clear instruction coupled with the important aspect – developing the individual’s ability to taste, assess and decide what they like to drink, and when. There are no wrong answers, just tastes you haven’t discovered yet. Different people tasting a fruit bursting Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough will get something different on the nose, palate and on the finish. Nobody is wrong, they are unique. For one person the smooth tannins of bottle maturity express themselves as velvet while to another, tobacco. It’s the beauty of difference that makes the world a place full of individuals.

THE ART OF choosing wine
Serving Temperature
Correct glassware
Far too often wines are served at the wrong temperature. The colder it is, the less you will get from the aroma and palate. Of course some people take great pleasure in an ice cold glass of white wine to refresh in hot weather – and nobody is saying that is wrong – but for tasting, a white wine should be served at around 10oC in order to get the most out of the bottle. The guide (right) should help you to decide. If you are lucky enough to own a Miele Wine Conditioning Unit you will have the choice of three separate temperature zones to ensure your wines are served at their correct temperatures. The zones are easily and individually controlled from the electronic soft controls.
Grape variety specific glassware has a real benefit to those who enjoy getting the most out of a bottle. Riedel are the market leaders in glassware technology. Serving in the correct glass will deliver it to the part of the palate that can detect nuances of that particular variety. Serve the same wine in three different Riedel glasses and you’ll have three different wines on your palate – the difference is incredible. Wine glasses can be cooled at a pleasant temperature with a Miele Glass Holder, ensuring sparkling or whites retain their freshness for longer.
Allow to breathe Opening wine to the air releases aromas with a reaction called oxidation. Younger wines need to be open for longer, to soften the tannins. Mature wines may only need minutes before the process turns them to vinegar. ‘How long should I open the bottle before drinking?’ is frequently asked in class. There is no simple answer. Young wines with high tannin levels (Cabernet Sauvignon or Petit Verdot) benefit from at least 3-4 hours. Delicate varieties with less tannins (Gamay) open out more quickly. Decant to allow even more contact with the air and to tell its colour. If the rim to the centre is the same, it’s too young and needs longer. Distinct colour differences between the rim and the core means it’s in its drinking cycle. Orange or mahogany appear when it is starting to tire. Giving wine 24 hours in the decanter brings the wine forward by around one year in maturity. The Miele Conditioning Unit benefits from an exclusive Sommelier set allowing you to decant in the unit and prepare for serving. The rack can incline slightly so the sediment can settle to the bottom away from the body. All wines benefit from decanting, even champagne. Veuve Clicquot famously serve their Sec or sweeter style decanted at events in Reims.
Pairing with food It’s all about using the wine flavours as an ingredient in the dish, giving harmony and balance. Imagine a set of scales: food on one side, wine the other. A recipe high in natural fruits needs some acidity to balance the scales – just a tweak to the acidic side will harmonise the fruits. Fillets of freshly seared sea bass served with roasted sweet potato and fennel seeds can be contrasted
Optimal Wine Serving Temperature White Wines 8-10°C Red Wines 10-16°C Rosé Wine 7-12°C Sparkling Wines 6-10°C Fortified Wines 14-20°C
‘Experiment. The fun is in trying to find the balance’ with a classic Sauvignon blanc from the Loire valley (Menetou Salon or Pouilly Fume). Roasted portobello mushrooms with mediterranean vegetables (high in tannins) works with unoaked Chardonnay and won’t over compensate. Experiment – the fun is in trying to find the balance. You can always open more than one bottle at a time. Don’t feel like you must finish – the ConvinoBox is ideal for storing open bottles in perfect conditions to go back to tomorrow. Allowing wine to breathe and serving it at the right temperature in the right glasses will enhance every glass you enjoy for the rest of your life.

Say goodbye to bland plates – and maintain your food’s intensive, natural colours, textures and flavours. Fresh broccoli lost only 11% flavanoids when steamed compared to 97% when microwaved in a recent study.
4
Cook everything at once – from vegetables and seafood, to fruits and pasta, without the flavours mingling – saving you time and making recipe combinations limitless.
