A big bowl full up with roasties, yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets. One fork and a large jug of gravy to dip it all in. Perfect.

I'm on Xmas dinner duty this year - I have both sets of in-laws to cook for, and only a little oven. I'll do a turkey with all the trimmings on Xmas day, and then cold meat with mustard mash and all the pickles you can think of on Boxing Day. I also have a gammon on order from the local farm shop - I've not tried the cola method before but I've had it cooked for me and it's lush, so I'll be giving it a go at some point.

I'm a bit worried that I won't get the bird cooked on the day, time and oven space may mean I have to do it the night before - a shame but needs must. I've been watching masterchef religiously this year, but I can't see either mine or mrs ionian's dad being impressed if I try to serve a Brussels sprout pureé with a parsnip foam!

And the really bad news: I can't drink because I have to drive my parents home, half way round the M25, at the end of the day! You can bet I'll be saving a good bottle for Boxing Day, just for me... Still, it'll be nice to host it and I do love cooking.

Oh poor you.

Don't stress. Xmas eve clean the kitchen, prepare all the veggies, pop them in their respective tins/ pans unless you have heat in there they are fine.

Depending on what state you are in later xmas eve get the turkey in the oven, depending how big it is depends on how long it takes, then the oven is freed up for what needs to be served freshly cooked i.e Yorkshires roast spuds.

Do you have a timer on your oven ??? That way it would turn off, otherwise set an alarm.

Good luck
