The Good Food team and their favourite celebrity chefs have been planning and cooking Christmas for their readers for years. This Christmas cookbook, which represents amazingly good value at 7.99 for the paperback, is the culmination of all that experience and the definitive guide to seasonal cooking and entertaining over this most important time of the year. 
 
 Full of tips and secrets to ensure that every Christmas dish is a rip-roaring success, the cook will be relaxed in the knowledge that all the recipes are practical and easy to follow. 
 
 Time is in short supply during the festive season so the recipe book shows the reader which dishes can be made ahead, what can be frozen and how to cheat successfully when the chips are down. 
 
 Readers will find over 80 festive recipes, all photographed, and features also include the complete Christmas day feast – turkey with all the trimmings, and more – with an essential timeplan, and guest contributions from all the top chefs.
