I love sweet potato mash with a bit of black pepper, honey roast parsnips are the dogs and easy too!

I worry about doing a good gravy so I cheat and buy a pack of finest!

Mainly don't be in that kitchen too long for your guests to guzzle the booze whilst you play hostess.......



what time did you say?

How about carrots with a little honey and sesame seeds. Put the carrots in tin foil, drizzle with a little honey and sprinkle with the seeds, fold up the foil into a parcel and pop in the oven for about 30 - 40 mins.
Also, shreaded cabbage and thinly sliced leeks, fried in butter is lovely!!!

Chilli roast potatoes are gorgeous. All you need to do is the usual for your roast spuds - par-boil, drain, shake 'em up in the pan with the lid on, then tip into a roasting tin of hot oil. Spoon the oil over the spuds, then grind some crushed chillies over them before you put them in the oven. You can try this with various types of grinders, if you don't fancy crushed chillies; there's enough of them available! Try places like Farmfoods and the food section of your local pound store. I managed to buy a whole load of grinders for various flavours, for a quid each
