This delicious episode is all about festive feasting – from the main event to all those gatherings and feedings in between. I adore cookbooks and share a lot in this episode, along with some other food-related delights. I hope it gets you flicking through your own recipe books and planning for some special time around the table this year.

This episode includes:

- Snippets from some of my favourite Christmassy cookbooks

- Tips for reducing the stress of Christmas cooking, and being mindful of costs

- A story about the day it all changed in our household

- Some ideas for laying your Christmas table

- Christmas (food-related) traditions from around the world

- Two super simple recipes

- Get ahead tips before Christmas arrives

- PLUS a lovely giveaway (enter at @bethkempton on Instagram)
