  1. Yesterday's feast of #roastPotatoes led to this emerging from the bottom of the #potato sack. It looks like a dumbell from some angles, but like a #bathDuck from most angles.

    I couldn't bring myself to roast it. So what should I do with my potato?

  6. 5 Unique hacks to jazz up your Christmas Dinner

    Kitchen expert Liv Reed from Prestige Granite has revealed her favourite festive hacks — fun, unexpected touches that boost flavour, texture and flair without piling on stress.

    1. Ice‑Water Trick for Crisp Roast Potatoes

    Par‑boil, then plunge into ice‑water for 1–2 minutes before roasting.

    • Rapid cooling and reheating creates an extra‑crisp shell.
    • Fluffy centre guaranteed — your roasties will steal the show.

    2. Hidden Herb‑Butter Injection for Turkey

    Mix softened butter with sage, thyme, parsley and garlic paste.

    • Inject directly into the turkey breast using a piping bag or squeeze bottle.
    • Keeps meat moist and infuses flavour deep inside.

    3. Make Gravy in the Roasting Tray Early

    Don’t wait until the end — deglaze the hot tray straight after the turkey comes out.

    • Add red wine or stock, scrape up the browned bits.
    • Instant flavour boost and time‑saver for silky gravy.

    4. Sparkling Water for Fluffier Mash

    Swap plain milk for a splash of chilled sparkling water.

    • The bubbles lighten the mash, giving a fluffier texture.
    • A simple twist that makes a big difference.

    5. Chill Glasses with a Citrus Spritz

    Pop wine glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.

    • Spritz with lemon or orange peel before serving.
    • Keeps drinks cool and adds a subtle festive aroma.

    Liv’s festive philosophy:

    “Christmas dinner doesn’t need to be complicated; it just needs a few clever touches. These hacks are fun, a bit unexpected, and they make you feel like you’ve got chef secrets up your sleeve.”

  7. I was surprised yesterday that a #Canadian #youtube #cookery channel I follow had a new video out titled “I tried cooking roast potatoes for the first time”!

    #RoastPotatoes for the first time???

    “It wasn’t part of my childhood - when I was growing up it never appeared on the #dinner table.”

    Is this the same for most #Canadians? #food #potatoes

  9. Exchanging roast potato tips on BBC Breakfast, parboiling the day before. I go one better: I parboil a big bag of spuds and freeze them. Ready to roast on demand. Can be defrosted in microwave just prior to cooking if you’re in a hurry. #RoastPotatoes

  14. CW: Excessive food

    It has become a tradition in our house to make something resembling a pizza with leftovers on boxing day.

    Starting with a store-bought flatbread, add sausage meat stuffing, turkey, slice roast potatoes, sprouts, bacon, honey roasted carrot and parsnips then top with cheese (and potato crispy bits if available) and bake until everything comes up to a reasonable temperature.
