This ENTIRELY LATE food-related post shows the result of a four-day period in which a traditional Christmas dinner was prepared, using recipes written by the renowned Delia Smith (except for the Christmas starter), plus a day before used to make another festive treat.  Over this period, a significant number of items had to be made, [...]
