I was just looking at the Cranberry sauce & was glad to see I am not to far off track. Instead what I do is cover dry Cranberry's with Mango juice I have found to be good for thickening & you do not have to add sugar. Juice from bottle does just as good without the mess. Cover Cranberries with juice & simmer untill thickened if still very sweet add a touch of Soya Sauce,touch of Worcestershire Sauce & I like about 1/4 teaspoon of roasted garlic it takes the sweetness edge off the Cranberries.If you don't want it to be lumpy blend while warm.This is handy to dip almost anything with.Zowie Phillips
there very nice
I tried your nougat recipe, but what have i done wrong ? i cant get mine to set
I think it's kind of nice and quirky that Chefs don't talk directly to the camera. To my mind, it adds a bit of style to the programme. It's amazing the reactions some people have to something as innocuous as this.
No wonder Trev burns the toast - too busy watching and not enough listening Trev, mate you really need to get with it Neil represents the very top echelon of Australian COOKING in the past 20 years or more and acting talents trail a very necessary second. Hats off to all these fine chefs!
Loved watching "Chefs' Christmas" but please would some of you "Great" chefs please so us coeliacs how to cook some of our horrible, sticky, messy recipes. PPPPlllllleeeeaaassseee especially the bread using ovens or bread makers.
Chris I so much enjoyed the cooking show "Chefs' Christmas" - there was such a warm and personal touch from the chefs and it has given me confidence to want to try the recipes. It would be great if it came out on DVD. Thanks heaps.
I really enjoyed the 'Chefs' Christmas' series and I hope the show is repeated in 2010 with equal amount of chefs from different states not just Sydney. Camera angles etc ....who cares as long as the show makes you want to cook afterwards. I am now cooking the Cherry Crumble from Danny Russo.
Good luck all . Just remember to enjoy the day and don't forget to keep it simple stupid. Vary things or amounts to suit or availability of ingredients. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO OVERCOOK OR UNDER COOK PRODUCE. Thats the secret. The Backdoor Chef.
I come on to this site to enjoy more recipes and ideas for Christmas and my families. I think chefs give a good range of recipes for us to choose from. If you want a specific type of low fat foods, just replace ingredidents with low fat or go onto the Weight Watchers Site. Thanks Chefs for great recipe ideas, entertainment and a Merry Christmas to you all.
Fantastic!
good
In response to Michael Kull, the gym population and weight loss market are totally different, but fresh food ideas, salads, low fat, recipes are in abundance on this site. Surely Jamie Oliver to name one chef has a true understanding and constantly promotes fresh tasty cooking.
I like Curtis Stone Christmas recipes very much.
love them all. cooking is a joy, but Maggie Beer stands out, she obviously loves to cook, is always happy and enjoys all foods, good or bad for you
can't believe all these whinging nannies!!!!!BAH BLOODY HUMBUG......i ACTUALLY LOVE ALL THE CHEFS.....GREAT JOB
I think Curtis was "not bad" ! Not super pro' but easy to follow recipes and he has a down home feel! I like that with a big family to feed!
Love watching Curtis Stone cooking. Great recipes. Thanks
i think they need healthy food, with a gourmet flavor i have never seen any chefs in the world who have a true understanding of this , for the gym population and weight loss market??????????
i.just.like.curtis.stone.
I LIKE CURTIS STONE CHRSTMAS RECIPES VERY GOOD
without us they wouldnt be where they are(chefs) now .they should think more of the viewers!!!!!!!!!
very cheap production, very amateur camera work...poor quality show.
I couldn't agree more. Jaime Oliver does it ALL THE TIME. Drives me nuts. Otherwise I love this series. Local talent producing lovely food. Cheers
Who are your chefs speaking to when they are constantly looking "off camera". There is no apparent interviewer and the real audience is ignored. In my 35 years of media experience this technique of having the talent speak to nobody is the most frustrating that I have come across.
you bunch of wingers complaining about camera angles and what direction the chefs are looking. Go and get a life! If not, find another channel to whinge about. This comment section is not the forum, and with all your "experience" surely you would have better things to do than just complain about them.
....Great recipes and different ideas all round. Great to see some stuff that plays on the traditonal recipes of Xmas. Love the show guys!
