Episode 2

This time, Jamie takes us through the final run-up to Christmas day, sharing exactly what to prepare on Christmas Eve and the fuss-free way to bring it all together. With a beautiful new technique to prepare the turkey that gets us ahead of the game, Jamie removes the legs and slow-cooks them in advance for a gorgeously succulent dish of pulled meat that can be reheated on Christmas Day in just half an hour. With the legs done separately, we're left with a brilliantly manageable turkey crown that can be dressed to impress the night before Christmas, ready to go into the oven in the morning. For the perfect get-ahead starter, Jamie makes an incredibly silky smooth chicken liver pate that can be wrapped up in the days ahead. He gives us the ultimate masterclass in the best Christmas roast potatoes ever, and rustles up a get-ahead batter that's in the fridge ready to grow into an epic giant Yorkshire pudding - banked and ready before Christmas starts, so that all that's left to do on Christmas Day is bringing it all together!
