My Christmas cookbook gift guide is out, written as usual from the perspective of which book will suit which family member not which books are the best of the year. Though there are many of my own favourites there.

A LOT of plant-based books this year which I always find a bit of a mystery given only around 11% of the population is veggie and a smaller percentage still vegan. Only @timhayward’s admirable Steak is dedicated - daringly - to meat.

Link in bio. Links in the roundup are to @bookshop_org_uk not Amazon which benefits local bookshops although you could always pop into your local and get them to order in at least one of the ones you want, couldn’t you? 😉

First Christmas pud of the year @thecornerhousecanterbury and a very stylish (and delicious) one it was too. Plus an absolutely exemplary gratin dauphinoise* (served with the gorgeously sticky fall-apart slow roasted lamb shoulder). Thoroughly nice place, short sensible menu, not trying too hard to reinvent the wheel. Hooray.
* definitely up there in the top 10 potato dishes @mrvinosaurus

Fabulously glamourous meal in the @thesavoygrill wine room last night with theatrical plating up of the main course (lamb rack and saddle) by the kitchen team. Accompanied by a superb bottle of @chateaulynchbages 1990 that couldn’t have been a better match. So good to catch up with the lovely @thierrytomasin too. Thanks @clementinecommunications for a very special pre-Christmas treat.
