You add to this a couple of pigs trotters (gross, but cheap!) some chicken wings, celery, garlic, chopped toms and then lots of water. To do this you take the bones from a chicken (nice excuse to have a roast chicken). This was a 2 step process:įirstly you make the chicken sauce stock base. So to start off proceedings, I needed to create the stock that would be the base of the gravy. To start we need to go back to October (yes, really) when I started with the gravy – Vegetarians or Vegans, I suggest you look away now! So for Christmas we had Turkey Roll with Christmas crumble topping and sage and onion stuffing. It was about 2 full days work, but I have to say it was well worth it.

Last year I spent Christmas in Dubai (it’s a hard life) so this year I decided to go all out and attempt his recipe step by step. I have had his book for a few years and have dabbled with a few small recipes, but after watching his Christmas episode a few years back, I really wanted to try making his unusual, but amazing looking take on Christmas Turkey.

I have always been a big fan of Tom Kerridge, I think he is an awesome chef and seems like a really nice guy to boot. But I am back with yet more of my food and coffee adventures! And what better way to kick things off again than talking about Christmas and my Tom Kerridge Christmas dinner? Well it’s been a while! Apologies for the lack of posts, it’s been a bit of a crazy few months.
