FAQ

How far ahead can I prepare Christmas dinner?
Desserts, stuffing, prepped vegetables and the gravy base all hold a day. The Christmas Eve section moves most of the work off the day itself.
How long should the roast rest?
At least 20–30 minutes tented in foil for a large joint — which is exactly the window for finishing gravy and warming rolls in the day-of section.
