Step 1- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celcius/180 degrees for a fan oven/gas mark 6. Place an enamel roasting pan in the oven cavity to pre-heat as well. Peel all of the potatoes and cut each potato in to 4 pieces. Place the potatoes in to a large saucepan and pour in water to barely cover them. Add some salt and wait for the water to boil. Once the water has reached a rolling boiling point, turn the heat right down and simmer the potatoes for 2 minutes. While this is taking place, put your goose fat, duck fat or olive oil in to the enamel roasting pan and place it in the oven for a few minutes until it is piping hot.

Step 2- Drain your potatoes using a colander. Shake the colander around a bit to break up the potatoes and fluff them up. Take the 2 tsp of flour and sprinkle in over the outside of the potatoes. This will help make them crispy on the outside!

Step 3- Once you have done this, carefully put each potato in to the hot fat or oil. Ensure each potato is covered by the fat as this will also help them become lovely and crispy. Spread them out evenly in the tin.

Step 4-Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes before taking them out and turning them over to ensure they are cooking evenly. Roast them for 15 minutes again before turning once more. Place them back in the oven once more until they are deliciously golden and crispy on the outside.

Step 5- Once you are happy with the colour of the potatoes, take them out and sprinkle with some of the Maldon salt before serving straight away.

Step 6- You will definitely have the best roast potatoes to go with your Christmas dinner. Crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the centre! Merry Christmas!

Step 1-Take a large mixing bowl and pour the egg yolk, 250g of butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract and the 140g of icing sugar in. Mix together using a wooden spoon until you are happy that it is well combined. Then add in the 375g of plain flour to make the dough. You should mix this until it is rather firm in consistency. Once you are happy with the mixture, shape it in to two flat discs and wrap it in clingfilm. Place it in your refrigerator for no more than half an hour. Preheat your oven to 190 degrees celcius/170 degrees celcius for a fan oven/gas mark 5.

Step 2-Take the dough out of your refrigerator and remove the clingfilm. Pour some flour on to your kitchen surface and roll the dough to the thickness of two £1 coins, then cut the dough using a Christmas shaped cookie cutter. Line two baking sheets or baking trays with baking paper, before placing each piece of dough on the sheet. Cut a small hole in the top of each cookie with a skewer or the end of a teaspoon. Place in the centre of your preheated oven and cook for between 10 and 12 minutes.

Step 3-Remove the cookies from the oven when they start to turn a delicious golden brown colour. Place on a plate or wire cooling rack to allow them to cool down properly. Now you can start making the icing by adding a few drops of cold water to the icing sugar and mixing. You want the icing to be quite thick but still a bit runny. Add the food colouring if you wish, but you don’t need to. Spread this on the cookies before decorating further with the edible golden and silver balls.

Step 1-Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius/160 degrees for a fan oven/gas mark 4. Place your peeled and chopped up pumpkin in to an extra-large roasting tin, add a splash of water and cover it with foil. It is important here to make a small hole in the foil to allow steam to be released. Cooker fo no more than 45 minutes until the pumpkin is a lot softer. While this is cooking, prepare the pumpkin seeds for the crust of the pie by placing them on a baking sheet and roasting in the lower part of your oven for about 10 minutes. You will know they are done when they start to make a popping noise. Once you are happy the pumpkin is cooked, drain it thoroughly and allow to cool.

Step 2-Now start to make the crust for this delicious pumpkin pie. Add the roasted pumpkin seeds and the 300g of ginger biscuits to a food processor and blend until very fine. Then add the butter and the chopped stem ginger and blend once again until it looks damp. Add this to a fluted tart tin or pie tin. Anything from around 23cm to 26cm is fine. Spread around the tin evenly before putting in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Step 3-Adjust the temperature of your oven to 160 degrees celcius/140 degrees for a fan oven/gas mark 3. Once the pumpkin is cool, clean the food processor before adding the pumpkin to it. Then add all the other ingredients for the filling of the pumpkin pie and blend to a smooth consistency. Take the pie crust out of the fridge and place back on a baking tray in the centre of your preheated oven. Be careful not to spill any of the mixture when pouring it in to the crust. Bake the pie for about 40 minutes until it starts to set, but it should still have a little give to it. Once you are happy it is baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin before putting it in the refrigerator for about an hour to cool somemore.

Step 4-Now you can start making the delicious pumpkin seed brittle! Take a frying pan and place the pumpkin seeds in it. Cook these for no more than a few minutes, again listening for when they start to pop as this is a sign they are done. While this is happening, line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Step 5-Tip the pumpkin seeds in to a bowl and put them to one side. In to the same frying pan, add the 100g of golden caster sugar and cook on a medium temperature. Now you want to caramelise the sugar, so heat it until it completely dissolves ensuring you don’t stir it at any point. What you can do is tilt the pan every few seconds just to keep then mixture active. Turn up the temperature and cooke further. Once the sugar looks a lot like a caramel mixture, add the pumpkin seeds and tilt the pan again to mix together. Then tip the caramel and pumpkin seed mixture on to the baking sheet and leave to cool and set properly for 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 6-Not long to go now before you are ready to serve. Start to prepare the stem ginger cream by mixing the 200ml of double cream and ginger syrup in to a mixing bowl and simply whisk until light and fluffy. Take the pie out of the refrigerator and remove it from the fluted tart tin.

Step 7- Add the stem ginger cream to the top of the pie, leaving a few centimetres of pumpkin exposed around the edge of the pie. Once the pumpkin brittle is set, break it in to small pieces and scatter over the top of the cream. Now all there is left to do is to cut yourself a piece of this best pumpkin pie recipe from BBC Good Food as part of your Halloween celebrations!

Step 1- Take a frying pan and add the butter to it, before adding the leeks and frying for no more than 5 minutes.

Step 2-Peel the skin off the chorizo and add that to the pan as well allowing it to release its delicious flavours.

Step 3-Take the roast chicken and add the meat to the pan and cook through again for a further 5 minutes.

Step 4-Add the double cream and bring the mixture to the boil. Cook for a little longer until the mixture is thicker in consistency.

Step 5- Take the frying pan off the boil and pour the pie filling in to a large pie tin such as this.

Step 6- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius/350 degrees Fahrenheit/gas mark 4.

Step 7- Dust a work surface with some flour and roll out the pre-made puff pastry, cutting it to fit over the top of the pie tin that you are using.

Step 8-Brush the top of the pastry with the milk and bake for around 25-30 minutes until the top starts to crisp and is a delicious golden brown colour.
