RECIPES:
Carrots and parsnips: You’ll need - carrots, parsnips, butter, honey
- Cut into your preferred size, I like to half both length ways and the cut into fairly thick batons
- Put in salted boiling water, bring to boil and boil for 6 minutes
- Drain, leave to steam dry for a few minutes
- Lay in a single layer on a baking tray to dry and cool completely
- Put in the freezer for a couple of hours, then take them back out and put them in freezer bags (they will last up to 3 months)
- On the day, no need to defrost, preheat oven to 200, but some butter and a good few plugs of honey onto a large baking tray and pop in the oven for 5 minutes
- Tip the frozen veg in the tray and baste in the honey and butter, season and roast for 30 minutes

Pigs and blankets: You’ll need - Chipolata Sausages and streaky bacon
- Wrap each chipolata in a rasher of bacon
- In a dish, Lay them side by side in a single layer, and for a second layer, place greaseproof paper in between each layer.

Roast potatoes: We use Maris Piper potatoes, plain flour and vegetable oil
- Peel and cut potatoes to desired size

- Add flour, shake, season and shake again. Pour over oil or fat and toss to coat
- Place on a tray/trays lined with parchment paper and allow to cool completely before placing in the freezer
- Once frozen, then transfer to freezer bags.
- On the day, heat oven at 180, pop a roasting tray in the oven with enough oil to cover the bottom or your chosen fat
- After 5-10 minutes carefully add your frozen potatoes, covering each one in the boiling oil/fat
- Roast at 180 for 25 mins, then turn the potatoes, and roast at 200 for 40 minutes
