Jamie Oliver: Together

Jamie creates a super-relaxed menu and cooks up a dynamite Mexican taco night of slow-cooked pork belly with red cabbage slaw, followed by a chocolate semifreddo decked with brittle.

So long, soggy sandwiches... Jamie takes the classic picnic up a level with jam jar prawn cocktails, veggie quiches, a garlicky courgette and couscous salad, and a tasty tangerine drizzle cake.

The chef prepares an all-vegetarian menu of curries with a selection of side dishes for a gathering of NHS junior doctors and midwives enjoying a well-deserved night off. On the menu are fragrant coconut squash curry with chickpeas, ginger and spices, golden paneer curry served with a spinach and green chilli sauce, and a smoky aubergine dal, served with fluffy coconut rice infused with cardamom, lemon and saffron milk, and buttery soft fennel naans.

Jamie cooks steak served with twice-cooked crispy potatoes, sweet and sour sticky red onions and a watercress sauce, followed by caramelised pineapple tartlets to top it all off.

Jamie gets the festivities started with a sublime Christmas party menu of bramble cocktails, a stunning beef bourguignon, and a sparkling winter bombe ice cream dessert.

Jamie creates a sensational alternative to the traditional Christmas dinner with an epic mixed roast, an impressive veggie crown and a toffee panettone dessert, to make the big day even more memorable.
