Welcome back! With December in full swing, I'm getting into the festive spirit the best way I know how: talking food! This week, we're diving into the history of the classic British Christmas turkey and getting advice from two incredible, successful guests.

🥪 The Social Media King: Fraser of Sensational Sandwiches

I head down to London to celebrate the launch of my good friend Fraser's (Sensational Sandwiches) first-ever shop! Fraser has built a massive following (over 1 million on Instagram!) by making incredible, mouth-watering food content. He sits down with me to talk about:

  • 🔑 The secret to making it big on social media and turning a creative passion into a real-life business.
  • 🗣️ Why saying "YES" to opportunities is the only way to succeed.
  • 🍗 Last year's unusual Christmas-time sandwich 

🦃 The Turkey Expert: Kate Martin from Treeway Farm

Next, I catch up with Kate Martin from Treeway Farm, first-generation farmers who supply thousands of turkeys for Christmas dinners across the UK. Kate shares the incredible, year-long process of raising these birds and the challenges the industry faces. Learn about:

  • 🗓️ Why their Christmas prep starts all the way back in February.
  • 🍳 The best way to cook your turkey (Kate shares the ultimate secret for a juicy bird, and yes, we talk about my disastrous defrosting methods!).
  • 🦃 The 500-year history of turkey being the centerpiece of the British Christmas table.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, wherever you are and whatever you're eating! Let me know if you'll be having turkey on your dinner this year!
