Today's live session has now ended. Thanks for all your questions. Allegra will be back online on Wednesday December 12 at 3pm.
It's Christmas menu planning time for those who are serious about food so following on from my bit of opinion in yesterday's G2, I thought I'd put myself at your disposal to talk through some alternatives for your Christmas centrepiece. I'm calling on everyone to abandon turkeys this year on the grounds of a) price - cereal prices have gone stratospheric this year - and b) the nasty touch of flu that's in the air.
I know some of you will have trouble wrenching yourself away from the Big Bird, but this year more than ever it really does make sense; it's not like they really suit roasting anyway ... turkeys are much better in stews, and they do make excellent stock, but it's an uphill struggle to keep those breasts moist, so why don't you give yourself and the annual turkey slaughtering a break and try something else?
Like what, I hear you cry. Tune in at 3pm folks and let's see if I can get your imagination and taste buds moving. Other questions, nationwide, are also welcome ...
