Today it's all about ‘Christmas Lites' - dishes with all the taste and indulgence of Christmas, but on the lighter side. Together they rustle up mouth-watering dishes like succulent stuffed roast turkey, where one slice is all you need or a fragrant warm Cornish mussel broth. Christmas is the time to push the boat out, whether that's the food, the decorations, entertaining or giving gifts and we meet people who, in their own way, go the extra mile to make Christmas super special. Paul and Catherine have also selected their favourite 12 tastes of Christmas. To showcase bacon - for them an absolute must-have Christmas ingredient - they create Christmas French toast with smoked bacon plus a fantastic starter of Parma ham cups filled with goats' cheese. As the kitchen fills with the aromas and flavours of the season, the fun and festivities begin.
