Saved my first Christmas away from my parents!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Newly married in the summer, I was tasked with cooking Christmas dinner by myself for the first time this year, and this book was invaluable.

The book starts with Christmas cakes and puddings that you ought to be making in November if you're doing things properly, though I bought this in late December by which point it was a bit too late. Maybe next year...

There are then all sorts of recipes for party food and nice meals to serve around Christmas time, from roast ham to mince pies to homemade sausage rolls to mulled wine.

The bit I really wanted the book for, however, was the chapter called, "The Last Thirty Six Hours," which talks you minute by minute through cooking the Christmas Dinner, from early on Christmas Even, including breaks for watching a carol service, opening presents, having the neighbours round and having a glass of champagne! I followed this almost to the letter, making everything from scratch (cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, bread sauce etc) and it didn't let me down. So, so useful.
I probably won't follow it quite so religiously next time, when I'll hopefully be feeling a bit more confident and willing to experiment, but I suspect it will still be a useful guide.

Finally, there were some good ideas for what to do with various leftovers.

Overall, there's nothing very radical in here - the book is from about 1990 - and if you've been cooking Christmas dinner and catering for Christmas parties for the last twenty years, this may not be for you (though you'd probably still find one or two recipes that caught your eye). But if this is your first Christmas or you're not feeling wildly confident, I don't thing there's anyone better than Delia to guide you through it.

Roast Seville Orange Glazed Duck with Port Wine Sauce? - believe me, I wont be hanging around for X-mas to try this out! as with loads of other recipes in this book, it's food you can have for a special occasion / meal. Those who want some more traditional fayre, don't worry because it's all there too. I like the lists and the organisation paragraphs to help sort out the mess of planning. The only small negative that both myself & her indoors commented on was the lack of photos to inspire - but with titles such as at the start of the review it's a case of one & half a dozen of the other.... Also, on reading some of the lower rated reviews those who don't like alcohol might get a little stuck-ish, (but not this soldier!)
In summary, Delia is where it all started for us Brits - 130 recipes - I'll be looking at this book throughout the year - get it!

I was truly amazed on the state received this book. I honestly looks brand new. My Mother in Law - a Yorkshire lass has recommended so many recipes to me from this book I decided to get my own copy. I will be trying so many recipes this holiday season. I’ve already done the red cabbage and it was so good

Un classique !

Reviewed in France on 17 January 2023

Verified Purchase

On ne la présente plus, en Angleterre en tous cas! Ses recettes, émissions, livres etc sont essentiels à toute bonne cuisine traditionnelle! Et surtout à Noël !!
Des recettes assez élaborées mais pas irréalisable justement ! Très classique et British, parfois les ingrédients peuvent surprendre et demeurrer introuvable (le "suet" râpé est décidément l'élément compliqué mais j'ai fait ma mincemeat à l'huile de coco désodorisée car elle la passe 3h au four et le beurre n'offre pas une résistance à la chaleur aussi bonne!)
Le gâteau de noël, le pudding tout y est et la certitude de la satisfaction ! Si vous cherchez ce livre probablement sommes-nous en fin d'année, alors allez voir sur YT Delia Smith Christmas en 3 parties, ça vaut le détour !)

Un classique à avoir, ne serait-ce que pour le bonheur de le tenir ! (Pour tout fan d'Angleterre !)
