This delicious episode is all about festive feasting – from the main event to all those gatherings and feedings in between. I adore cookbooks and share a lot in this episode, along with some other food-related delights. I hope it gets you flicking through your own recipe books and planning for some special time around the table this year.

This episode includes:

-       Snippets from some of my favourite Christmassy cookbooks

-       Tips for reducing the stress of Christmas cooking, and being mindful of costs

-       A story about the day it all changed in our household

-       Some ideas for laying your Christmas table

-       Christmas (food-related) traditions from around the world 

-       Two super simple recipes

-       Get ahead tips before Christmas arrives

-       PLUS a lovely giveaway (enter at @bethkempton on Instagram)
