Christmas is THE ulitmate foodie fest, somehow food has become central to the festivities and although we understand the meaning of Christmas, in our increasingly secular world its the food and the gifts that are the focus rather than the religion.

So for many of us, getting the Christmas lunch or dinner right is very, very important and its when that pressure is applied that there just might be the chance that things dont quite go as planned.

I am fortunate that I cant remember anything going horribly wrong at Christmas.  I write out my lists, prepare as much in advance as possible and have the advantage of being brought up by a mother who was an excellent cook!  Dont get me wrong, I have had my share of disasters but just not on Christmas Day!
