Nigella believes that Christmas is both a season to be treasured and a state of mind that has to be achieved by relishing long established routines and welcoming new ones too.

“Christmas food is the best sort of food because it’s about proper, unpretentious home cooking. Feasting isn’t about formality: it’s about providing friends and family with good things to eat.” Nigella Lawson
