I love the Christmas ritual of endless cold cuts. For me, that’s an essential part of the season. But I know there are those who can grow restive when they see that poor old bird brought out for th...

Rather than make long logs (or, indeed wreathes or letters, as they do in the Netherlands) I cut them into short lengths before baking, which rather gives them a look of sweet sausage rolls.
