Your favourite Christmas film deserves a proper dinner to go with it.

Deciding takes longer than cooking.

What to make, what to watch, what goes with what. The planning wears you out before you've bought a single ingredient.

Recipes from different places don't fit together.

Different serving sizes, different oven temperatures, different shopping lists. Making one menu out of five strangers is a job in itself.

Nothing tells you the order.

So everything is ready at once, or nothing is, and the person cooking misses the start of the film.

Choose

Pick a night by the film you fancy or the menu you're craving. Any order, any date. You don't have to do all twelve.

Prep

One combined shopping list for the whole menu, a cooking order that coordinates all five dishes, and notes on what you can make earlier in the day.

Press Play

Set the table with a few simple touches, put the printed menu out, hand round the cinema tickets and dim the lights.

The menu

The cooking order

The shopping list

Every ingredient from all five recipes, added up into one list. There's a version for 2 and a version for 4, so you're not doing maths in the supermarket.

The table

A few simple ideas to make the table look like an occasion, using things most homes already have, plus the matching printed menu from your bonus pack.

Want to make less?

Every night shows you which dishes to keep if you'd rather cook two or three things instead of five.

Print the ones you want, pop a menu by each plate and hand out tickets at the door. It's a small thing that everyone notices. (These are printable files; nothing is posted.)

That's 15 extra recipes, all different from the 60 in the main book. Make a bowl for halfway through the film, or skip dinner altogether and build a snack-night spread.

The same feeling, with far less to do, for evenings when you've got less time or less energy to cook.

Use as much or as little as you like. All of it is optional, and the rating cards make it easy to see which nights your lot want to repeat next year.

That's 75 unique recipes, 12 complete nights and 5 PDFs, all for one price.

For about what a family takeaway costs, you get twelve evenings planned from start to finish, and you keep them for every Christmas after this one.

One-off payment. No subscription.

Instant access to all 5 PDFs after purchase. Works on phone, tablet and computer. 30-day money-back guarantee.

That's what the planning is for. Every night has one shopping list, a cooking order and notes on what to make ahead, so much of the work can happen earlier in the day. Every menu also shows you how to make fewer dishes, and Bonus 3 gives you four simplified nights with supermarket shortcuts for when time is really tight.

The recipes are everyday family food: pizza, pies, pasta bakes, roast chicken, crumble. The cooking order tells you what to do and when, so you're never juggling five dishes without a plan. And you can always start with a smaller version of the menu.

The menus are built around familiar food you'd expect to find in a regular supermarket. Each night has one combined shopping list, so you'll know exactly what you need before you go.

No. The table ideas are simple touches using things you're likely to have at home already. The printables are optional too: print a menu, or print the lot.

Yes. Every recipe and every shopping list comes in quantities for 2 and for 4, so it works as well for a date night as it does for a family evening.

Not at all. Pick whichever nights you like, in any order, on any date. Do one this year and three next year, if that's what suits you. Bonus 4 includes a planner for 4, 6 or 12 nights if you'd like to map them out.

Because the recipes are only part of the job. Here, each menu is designed to go together, every dish is scaled for the same number of people, the shopping is added up for you and the cooking order is worked out. That's the part that usually stops a special night from happening.

No. You can use the whole book on your phone, tablet or computer, and the clickable contents page takes you straight to any night. The Bonus 1 printables are designed to be printed, if you'd like them on the table.

No. The films are suggestions to pair with each dinner. You'll need your own way to watch them, and availability varies. Please check age ratings and choose what suits your group. This book is not affiliated with any film or studio.

No. Every night includes a non-alcoholic drink so everyone at the table can join in.

The menus aren't designed around specific dietary requirements, so please check every recipe and ingredient label against your own needs and any allergies.

No. This is a digital product delivered as PDFs. Nothing will be posted.

You'll get access to all five PDFs straight after your purchase is confirmed.

Yes. Nothing in the book is tied to a particular year, so you can come back to it every Christmas.
