DIY dinner

So I love to cook for people. The big dinner with all the roasted veggies and meat is the only part of shitmas I enjoy.

So if I'm making the dinner, I go all out. I make everything myself, from the stuffing to the dessert.

I've made some fresh mint sauce today to go with our lamb on Friday!

"Why didn't you just buy a jar?" asked Jeff...

Do you do it all yourself or buy everything pre-made or prepared for you?

Depends if I'm cooking..... last time I did I made every bloody thing. And with vegans, veggies, omnivores, pescatarians and babies to feed that was quite the undertaking.

So I'm more than happy to just watch you this year (and chop if I can be trusted).

I haven't cooked a Xmas dinner for over a decade. I normally bring one back from work with me and by then it's soggy and cold.

I WILL at some point cook one again. I will also go totally over the top, make everything from scratch and hopefully enjoy doing it. I wanna do one of those where there's pots of everything all over a table and people dig in and help themselves.

We have as much as possible ready prepared or frozen. We don't want to be in the kitchen while everyone else is eating Quality Street. Hats off to those that do and enjoy it though.

Helpful hint..... make sure you have someone else to wash up. Because all those pots take a while!

I love to cook, it relaxes me.

My sister does most of the prep and cooking for Christmas day, everything homemade. Pigs in blankets (she minced the meat and made the sausage), stuffing, the chutneys, starter, bread, dessert, all the accompaniments and the vegan option as well all homemade. All I have to do is the roast potatoes (which is a novelty)

I would happily do it all from scratch myself but my kitchen is too bloody small for the feast that we put on

Cheated a bit this year, turkeys all prepped ready to cook. All veg will be done from scratch, same with desserts, apart from profiteroles. Who the hell makes their own choux pastry!

Unfortunately we don't. We had to order our turkey from a butcher 15 miles away, well we didn't have to we could have got one from Marks and Spencer but we try to support small business. Then we were put into tier 4 while the butcher remained in tier 2 . There are independent greengrocers though.

We make our own sausage rolls, mince pies, Christmas cake and bone and roll our own goose stuffed with duck and chestnut stuffing, devil's on horseback, scotch eggs with black pudding, chicken liver terrine, red cabbage and beetroot marmalade.

Because we just love to cook and there's bugger all else to do.

Before we moved to Devon we had only chain stores everywhere, so most things got ordered from smaller businesses on tinterweb or from Tesco.

Absolutely love being here, as most of the (regular) fresh produce is actually sourced within 15 miles by the butcher, grocer etc...

Still use the supermarket for some stuff but far far less.

It depends. If I've found something I really love (oh hai M and S bread sauce), I don't have the energy or desire to make my own. Pigs in blankets again, buy it in. For everything else, I do enjoy cooking - I think it's one of my love languages.

Today I've got all the bits for a decent roux and I'm going to make cauliflower cheese from scratch, the gravy, stuffing etc. I'm even going to make a winter berry pavlova with my homemade meringue and sloe gin drizzle which I can't wait for and mince pies for our neighbour who has been a star this year.

I have a popular cauliflower dish too

I do a big meal every Christmas for the kids. Once they're out to uni I'm done with all this and spending Christmas in Lanzarote or somewhere hot!

If it's left to me I'll cheat as much of it as possible. I like the idea of doing it all from scratch, but I like the thought of it being nice more ! Everyone knows I'm a crap cook though, so I never get put in charge of dinner. My house is for takeaway and drinks nights
