1. White's wine - half price Bordeaux

2. Christmas Day Chipolatas and Bacon Toad in the Hole

I'm cooking lunch on Christmas Day – and all the family are planning to descend.

3. White's Wine

Guilt-free and guaranteed to keep you on your feet over Christmas week – these wines are light, refreshing and ‘made for your lips, not hips’. So they say.

4. Honey Roast Parsnips and Carrots

Roast for 30-35 minutes until golden and tender, adding the rosemary leaves halfway through the cooking time. Drizzle over the honey; toss to coat the vegetables.

5. Stevie B - The price is right

For one day we will be merry ... you can start worrying again on Boxing Day. Here’s a fact, with the pound dropping like Christmas tree needles, 95 per cent of our Christmas dinner will consist of British products.

6. White's wine - Grow your own

The heat is on to deliver that perfect Christmas gift.

Take comfort in wine – either by drinking it or giving it away.

7. Mulled Wine Mince Pies

These are the Rolls Royce of mince pies, the lightest pastry – more like shortbread.

8. Super squash make perfect soufflés

9. Get in a pickle for Boxing Day zing

10. Stews to cut the bills

‘No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November’.

Thomas Hood might have added to a 2008 version of his poem...  no money.
