About the Town’s Tips for Christmas Dinner
If you’re self-conscious about your Christmas Dinner game this year, or have guests you’re wanting to impress, About the Town has the perfect things to spice up your table and put everyone else’s grey turkey and dry roasties to shame!
We can all agree the sprouts aren’t always the star of Christmas dinner - so why not try mixing boiled chestnuts, chorizo, or bacon lardons in with them to give them an extra pop of flavour, and make them look more exciting!
Give your guests a choice! Not everyone likes Turkey, so why not add another option to the menu? West Lancs Butchers Christmas Hampers have the perfect package, not only do they include Turkey, but also Gammon too!
Instead of boiling your carrots, try roasting them. Drizzle root veg with olive oil, cider vinegar, and giving them some seasoning before roasting makes them sweeter and more tender than simple steaming does.
The fancy Yule Logs, unique meringues, and delicious tarts from Bake Away will guarantee to excite the senses and add something special to any dinner table this Christmas; we won’t tell a soul!
