Turkey Cooking Tip
I didn't see the programme but the guy who won the Professional Cook Master class, Gary, was on Radio 5 this morning and was asked for one tip for cooking the traditional Xmas dinner.
His tip was NEVER FOIL A TURKEY. Cook the bird upside down to start with (I knew that bit) and finally turn it the right way up to brown the breast.
For 50 years I have had turkey and foil was always used so may try this on Sunday

Never mind Turkey, my mother in law made gorgeous honey roast ham today. I don't even like ham but it tasted something out of this world! Turkey for tomorrow was also prep-ed by her, as per Jamie Oliver's way of prep-ing it. She said if it turns out to be crap tomorrow, she will leave him a very bad feedback on Facebook.

Tried the upside down thing, didn`t seem to make much difference, it turned out fine anyway. I did try roasting the sprouts this year and had very good results, much better than boiled

I have been cooking my chickens vertically with a punctured beer can in the cavity- Guarantees a moist breast .
This year did it with the turkey and it was the best ever - but you need a big oven!

One thing about Christmas dinner, it's really simple to make. Turkey is like chicken, but a bit dry and fat. So, as long as you can ensure that it comes out tender by roasting in in slow heat, you've got it sorted.
Ours was good. Negatives are that the Jamie Oliver gravy recipe that the Mother in Law followed was a bit too rich, and I missed almonds-cashews in plain Christmas pudding with rich orange zest and far too many currants for my choice in it. Not JO's fault at all. I reckon it was the M.I.L. who went OTT with the ingredients.

I never gave any recipe, it was the poster called Stealthbomber who put up a good link that corresponds the turkey to its cooking temperatures.
You've been too drunk over this Christmas period, Duncan. What have you been on?

Well, some kids with such require speech therapy or develop/correct their lisp. So it's like a slightly different something about him. Doesn't cast any shadow on him.
Ok.
He's very pleasant and a decent chap. Will certainly visit one of his restaurants in 2017, to check out what the food is like, there.
He does dig his beloved Essex.
As do I (despite not living there anymore, sadly).
