If you look up "World's Worst Cook" in the dictionary, my photo is right next to it!
The running joke in our family is that I manage to burn everything - water, toast, beans - and today I burned the pine nuts I was toasting!
The prospect of having to try and cook Christmas lunch was daunting, to say the least, since I have never even roasted a chicken before.
I was still sweating at the thought of it, 4 days before the Big Day.
I happened to catch a bit of chef Jamie Oliver's TV programme, and immediately responded to his can-do, make it easy, enthusiastic cooking style. I went to his website and lo! there were recipes to be had for Jamie's Christmas - including how to roast a turkey and all the trimmings, for idiots.
A Tesco bronze turkey, a bottle of good olive oil, clementines, fresh rosemary cut from the garden, and parsnips, carrots and potatoes - following Jamie's instructions to the letter, and everyone said it turned out brilliantly!!!! Phew!
