In this Great British Chefs video workshop, top chef Richard Bainbridge (winner of Great British Menu and owner of Benedicts in Norwich) will guide you through every step of cooking Christmas dinner. Starting on 23rd December and taking you right through to serving up on Christmas Day, Richard’s fool-proof recipes and cheffy tricks guarantee the best Christmas meal you’ve ever tasted, without any stress or last-minute panic.

Whether you’re cooking Christmas dinner for the first time or want to know how to up your game with the help of one of the country’s top chefs, this workshop contains everything you could ever need to master the most joyous meal of the year.

Christmas dinner can strike fear into the hearts of even the most accomplished home cooks. Will everything be ready on time? How do I keep the turkey from drying out? What’s the secret to the crunchiest roast potatoes, and how do I give the side dishes a point of difference? What about pudding? Will I actually get a chance to enjoy the day without being stuck in the kitchen?

In this Great British Chefs workshop, Richard will cover:

Brining: how a brine flavours and seasons the turkey whilst keeping it incredibly moist
Stuffing: jam-packed with festive flavours, Richard’s stuffing is a must at the festive dinner table
Sides: Richard shares the secret to the crunchiest roast potatoes along with top-notch side dish recipes for coffee-roasted carrots, maple syrup parsnips and his best-ever butter-roast sprouts
Sauces: learn how to make a quick, easy and delicious cranberry sauce as well as a knockout sourdough bread sauce
Gravy: Richard shows you how to use the juices of the bird to create the ultimate gravy, thickened with a very special flour for extra flavour
Dessert: Richard whips up a chocolate and raspberry Yule log that’s guaranteed to go down a storm with the whole family – no more uneaten Christmas pudding!

Richard covers the entirety of Christmas dinner from start to finish, giving you the chance to cook along with him in real-time and enjoy the most organised, stress-free Christmas dinner you’ve ever prepared.

With a shopping list to ensure you have all the ingredients you need and a time sheet to keep everything on track and organised, this workshop is the key to preparing a Christmas dinner which will not only go down a storm with friends and family, but will also keep you calm so that you can enjoy the big day along with everyone else. In Richard’s words, it’ll ‘blow your nanny’s socks off’!
