Bill's Christmas Dinner Plan

Christmas dinner, planned, bought and timed, without the panic.

Bill's Christmas Dinner Plan is a 63-page, large-print guide to getting Christmas dinner right without paying over the odds. It's laid out for A4, so you can print the pages you need and keep them by the cooker.

What's inside:

- Four ready-made plans: just you, the two of you, a family of 4 to 6, or a table of 8 to 10

- How much turkey, gammon and trimmings to buy per person, and roughly what it should cost

- How to read a turkey label before you pay

- A defrost calendar, worked out by weight, telling you which day to start

- Hour-by-hour Christmas Day timetables, plus a blank one to fill in

- Cooking times, carving, proper gravy and safe leftovers

- A "when it goes wrong" page for the usual panics

What you get: a PDF you can download straight after you pay. A copy of the download link is emailed to you too.
