Don't panic - but it's just a month today until Christmas. If that has stress levels rising a little, Kiwi chef Mark Gregory has a new book out that's full of festive inspiration. Mark has spent decades in kitchens around the world - he's cooked for celebrities, royalty - he was the first Kiwi to be awarded a Master of Culinary Arts by the Royal Academy - he's appeared on TV shows Ready Steady Cook and the BBC's Good Food Show. He's also a massive fan of Christmas....which is why he's created his Christmas at the Castle Cookbook and YouTube series. While the traditional festive fare is included in the book, there's some Kiwi twists on the Christmas faves - and an emphasis on making things simple. It's not just recipes - Mark's also included ideas for gifts and for family fun on the big day itself.
