TOM'S TURKEY DINNER

Food-wise, Christmas Day means different things to different people. Some people like it to be the smartest meal of the year, so they plan it with precision, get out their good wedding china, dress up, and sit down to a full four or five courses, with wines to match. For others, it’s just a time to catch up and relax over a big roast with everyone in their comfies, and then hibernate for the day. I’m a bit of both camps – the turkey I roast has to be special, but it doesn’t need to be difficult. I’m also more inclined to have a special late breakfast and skip the Christmas starter, but I usually make a dish that fits both if that changes. So, here’s how we do Christmas lunch round ours – everything you want is there, but it’s all been given my little touch of chef’s magic – whether you want to dress up or down to eat it is totally up to you. Happy Christmas! Tom

STARTER

Smoked salmon coddled eggs

Make this in ramekins or a large sharing dish. The ingredients are adjustable, too, depending on how many people you’re serving – the minimum amounts in this recipe make six starters while the larger amounts are for eight. If you’re not a ‘Christmas starters’ sort of family, it’s also great for breakfast or brunch over the holidays.

  • 25-40g butter, melted
