Jamie Cooks... Christmas(2008)

Synopsis

Jamie’s Essex home is wreathed in decorations and he's cooking food for the whole season, with help from his friend and former mentor, Gennaro Contaldo. As well as Christmas classics, Jamie has some ingenious ways, beyond turkey sandwiches, to make the most of some of your key ingredients, like a zesty Asian-style warm turkey salad for Boxing Day and a tasty turkey and leek pie. Jamie cooks a ham to last the whole Christmas season, creates mulled wine sorbet for an instant party livener and shows how to use festive spices - such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves - to best effect, like his super-quick Christmas popcorn and an amazing fig pudding. And Jamie has a modern twist on a classic, with a Christmas pudding sundae, complete with ice cream and amoretti biscuits. Meanwhile, Gennaro has a few festive tricks up his sleeves.
