Food Job Blog: The inside track on Food Recruitment and Careers

It's a known fact that we all over-indulge over the Christmas period and I'm no exception. Whether it be food or drink we all stuff our faces until our bellies can take no more! I love the fact that we get to the end of the year and say "blow all the weight watching over the last 11 months, it's December and I deserve a break"! We get into the mindset of "well I will let myself go over Christmas and then as soon as January 1st hits its time to start the treadmill again". As soon as Christmas is done and dusted and we all look like a Christmas turkey, all the New Year resolutions come out again: I must eat healthy, I will go to the gym, twice, maybe three times a week, no fast food and definitely no chocolate, well until Easter maybe. Christmas eating is almost an unwritten law that says we have the right to eat and eat to our heart's content and I have got to say, I LOVE IT!

Now this might come as a bit of a shock to you, but I'm not a turkey consumer on Christmas day. I know that having turkey is supposed to be a given on Christmas day, but I find it to be really dry. I don't know if it's just me and my cookery abilities, but I prefer chicken as a substitute. Is it just me that thinks turkey can be disappointing?

Can anyone let me into the secret of cooking the perfect turkey?

Look forward to your insight.
