Nigel Slater's Simple Christmas

The cook celebrates well-loved Christmas dishes

The cook and food writer celebrates well-loved festive dishes, cooking a sea bass starter, a roast duck feast and a party trifle. In addition to preparing dishes inspired by memories of his family, he gives a makeover to his father's annual contribution to Christmas dinner - a casserole. He also creates a winter slaw inspired by the Slather holiday cheeseboard, and accepts an invitation to venison supper in a Scottish castle, where he invents a new cocktail to toast the special occasion
