I'm not a fan of women who waft around vast kitchens, knocking up enough food to feed an army.

Her kids are 15-22. It's a huge ranch, 433,000 acres - they are the 23rd largest landowners in the United States. The Govt pay them $2million a year to keep some animals on some of the land.

They're loaded. Those "poor kids" are going to be running the ranch in the future, they're "just dabbling" out there really, not being worked like Victorians up chimneys.

This isn't a woman with four young kids farming a few cows on the edge of Yorkshire.

Her recipes are so unhealthy. Just when you think she's finished, she adds more sugar or cream to the dish - nothing vaguely balanced about it. And then she feeds it to her kids.

I thought that I might pick up some new ideas for Christmas lunch accompaniments. Then I was horrified to see how much sugar was being added to everything! What happened to enjoying vegetables for their natural taste? Breakfast suggestions were very carb heavy too. I prefer something light when I know that we will be indulging later in the day. No wonder the indigestion remedy adverts are being ramped up at the moment! Not my kind of recipes...

Thanks for posting this. I've never understood the point of brining a turkey, so will have a look.

I've never cooked a dry turkey but mine are always expensive, butcher-shop birds that actually have some fat on them. When I buy them, I pay around £60.
