Borough Market - The Borough Market Guide to Christmas

 

The Borough Market Guide to Christmas   Done well, Christmas dinner can be many things: a boisterous multi-generational celebration, a showcase for amazing seasonal produce, a powerful nap-inducing sedative. It can also be tiring, time-consuming and stressful. In our free digital guide to Christmas, Ed Smith gets right to the heart of the matter: how to source and cook the perfect Christmas turkey, how to bring it together with a small number of exceptional sides, and how to do all that with the minimum of stress. In addition, Bee Wilson explores Christmas Eve fish, Jane Parkinson surveys Christmas wines, Saliha Mahmood Ahmed provides a couple of Boxing Day recipes, and Ed guides us round his ultimate Borough Market cheese board and cured meat platter.   Read now Join us in the Festive Kitchen, starting 7th December Enjoy free demonstrations, tastings, festive tips and masterclasses from Borough Market traders and chefs, showcasing the very best seasonal produce.
