(There are so many jobs which have to be done by then).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are having 20 for Christmas lunch and are planning smoked salmon and pate for starters, baked ham with lots of salads plus seafood for main; then plum pudding and pavlova for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>I have also decided to cook a turkey breast using a recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi. It will not be your traditional turkey with gravy and roast potato, rather a fresh herb and citrus marinated breast suitable to eat all year round and particularly in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Yotam is one chef I trust with turkey.<\/p>\n<p>He ought to know as his native land of Israel is the world\u2019s largest per head consumer of the bird.<\/p>\n<p>Given the importance of turkey for thanksgiving in America and Christmas around the world, this is hard to believe yet true.<\/p>\n<p>Red meat is very expensive and difficult to source in Israel, so the population has taken to eating turkey on a regular basis. It is even served at the local kebab shops!<\/p>\n<p>Yotam Ottolenghi is a writer, chef and restaurateur whose creations are so distinctive that his name is now synonymous with a cooking style. Born in Israel, he moved to London in 1997 and completed a six-month cooking course at Le Cordon Bleu.<\/p>\n<p>He has done promotions and demonstrations in Melbourne several times. His style is definitely Middle Eastern in origin, but I believe his success has come from incorporating the cuisine of Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran and Israel and giving it a western appeal.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend looking at his beautiful website where he describes his philosophy to food as follows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply put, we are very serious about making people happy through our food, which is often described as sunny. It\u2019s full of harmonious contradictions: it\u2019s vibrant and bold yet familiar and comforting; it\u2019s beautiful to look at yet close to its original form; it\u2019s full of surprising drama yet always comes together as one; it\u2019s noisy yet peaceful, lip-smacking yet warm, simple yet daring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, I have a certain cynicism for the world of \u201cfashionista foodies\u201d but this description of Yottam Ottolenghi\u2019s food is spot on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the time you read this article, Christmas 2017 will (hopefully) be a wonderful memory of time and food shared with family and friends.
