Jay Rayner and the panel are celebrating the festive season at the Pleasance theatre in London answering questions from an audience of home cooks. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers, Andi Oliver, Jocky Petrie and Lerato and resident food historian, Dr Annie Gray.

The panellists discuss the best alternatives to Christmas pudding, the best Christmas dinners they've ever eaten in their life, and the festive food items they'd shut away in room 101.

Meanwhile, Jay stops to chat to food product developer Rachel Auty, about the process of getting Christmas products on the supermarket shelves.
