Twelve Days 'till Christmas Day1


Christmas is coming, time to empty the freezer
Christmas can be a nightmare for the cook in the family. There is the pressure to produce a feast, unexpected guests and then a mountain of leftovers.  After  Christmas an average 230,000 tons of food worth around £275 million is thrown away in Britain.
In the weeks leading up to the big day start to run first the freezer and then the fridge down to a bare minimum. When it comes to Christmas food the one thing you are bound to be short of is storage space.
As you make room fill it up with freezer blocks and bag up ice cubes. This will give you extra cool storage on the day and keep the freezer running efficiently.
The cooler weather at this time of year is ideal for soups and stews which are great for using up frozen leftovers. Hopefully you won’t find anything lingering at the bottom from Christmas last year.
