“I don't think I'll every go out for a roast again! This is much better and not stressful. The roast potatoes are the best I've ever had and my kids now eat the brussels and carrots all the time as I make them with all sorts of meals. The Christmas time plan was a game changer and I love the extra Christmas recipes. I'd recommend this to everyone." - Angela
“Thank you so much! I'd never made Christmas dinner before but following your guide made it so easy. I think my mother in law was mad she enjoyed it so much and that I was so calm!” - Claire

“I've resented making Christmas dinner for years and was tempted to just buy everything ready done. But I'm so glad I bought this instead. It was the best Christmas dinner I've ever had and I made it! I reckon I saved a fortune - not just because I made everything in the run up from scratch, but also because we used the leftovers to make lovely meals after. I know what I could freeze and what to add to make things taste fresh and exciting.” - Simon
