I've just finished watching Jamie Oliver's Christmas Special "Jamie Cooks Christmas". This special was very different from most Christmas Cooking Specials. Instead of Oliver cooking copious amounts of baked goods and buttery dishes, he cooked traditional Christmas meals and then showed how to use the leftovers in meals after the holiday season. Some of his creations included a leftover Christmas Sundae with cranberry sauce and Christmas pudding, and an Asian Turkey Salad.
Although some of the ingredients may not be as readily available in North America there are easy substitutions. For example Oliver uses Clementines in almost all of his recipes. These are avalilable in North America but are sometimes hard to find and can be expensive. Instead Tangerines, Oranges, or even Mandarin Oranges can be used. For his recipes that use clementine zest I would suggest not using the zest of Mandarin oranges as they can be bitter because the actual zest is so much thinner than typical oranges.
Thats all for now. Remember to check out my video blog.
