Going live effective immediately – and open right through to Christmas Eve, JB and I are on duty to answer your Christmas cooking questions. ✨Welcome to our Christmas Cooking Hotline!!✨
JB and I are on call!
I’m so excited to be doing this! I’ve had the idea of a Christmas cooking hotline bubbling away in my mind for years, but I always hesitated because I worried it would be too much to handle on my own.
But now that JB is part of the face of RecipeTin and it’s not just me, there’s two of us here to answer your questions. So for the first time ever, we’re opening up a hotline for Christmas cooking questions, bringing together home-cook practicality and actual proper chef experience (JB!), which means more ideas and better problem-solving for you!
So drop your question in the comments section below and we will answer as many as we can (we need to sleep, and we have some other work things to finish!). Ask anything you want, like:
Can I make this ahead, freeze it, or reheat it?
What can I substitute if I can’t find an ingredient?
How do I scale recipes up or down?
Help, something’s going wrong – how do I fix it?
Menu planning, timing, or oven logistics chaos 😅
Even though our last day of work is this Friday, JB has generously agreed to continue helping me with questions right through to Christmas Eve. Thank you JB, you’re the best.
And now…. the Christmas Cooking Hotline is now officially open. So drop your questions below and we’ll jump in to help wherever we can, because Christmas cooking is much more fun with backup! 🎄 – Nagi x
PS Few out-takes from today’s little Christmas shooting session. We know how to cook better than taking selfies. Promise. 😅
PPS Who nailed The Wink? 😉

My favourite Dozer Christmas outfit.
Though to be honest, Santa spends most of his time like this:
Which I’m sure is Santa after a few too many Christmas wines. This has absolutely nothing to do with his ride – or the stable hand who saddled up his ride. 😂
Merry Christmas, Is there anyway to do this recipe in a pressure cooker?

Hi, I’m cooking for our staff xmas party for about 25 people. It will be in the evening so I have all day to prepare.

Hello 😊 I’m going to make your pavlova recipe for Christmas lunch. Can I use the store bought egg whites that come in a carton (e.g. Sunny Queen 100% Egg Whites), or am I better off using actual eggs and separating the yolk from the egg whites? Thanks!!
Hi I’m looking to prep/cook my roast potatoes the day before what would you say is the best method and reheat roast on Christmas Day please?
How to precook roast potatoes??
I’m cooking a 3kg scotch fillet and am terrified I’ll overcook it Should I dry brine it first. Please help with cooking times. I’ve had great success following your directions for lots of recipes so Tin Eats is my go to website every time. Thank you Nagi
Can I add chocolate chips to your shortbread recipe and if so how much?
I cook this recipe on repeat all year 🥰
Randomly were hosting christmas breakfast this year, but every time I cook breakfast for a group things go soggy and cold. Any tips?
Hi Rebecca! You should warm the plates up in the oven so that they keep the food warm as you serve. Cold plates = cold food! Have your breakfast on the heat until ready to serve (if you can/need to – keep them warming in the oven until everything is ready). Try and serve immediately as well!
Good morning
I’d like to make Nuts & Bolts with Nutri Grain etc but it is best to fry or bake it?
What is good to put inside brandy snaps, apart from just whipped cream? … please.
You can fill with a variety of cannoli fillings. Ricotta cheese mixed with icing sugar and various flavours like coffee chocolate etc. Look up an easy recipe online and fill your brandy snaps. They will be so yummy
LOVE that you are doing this!!!! In my Christmas meat order I have ordered a pork scotch fillet with crackling and am not sure of the best way to cook this? I usually do a pork loin with crackling. Please help!!! And wishing team RTE and RTM a fabulous Christmas. Xx
I wish my pavlova had less crisp and more marshmallowy center. What am I doing wrong? Do you have a foolproof recipe to share?
I would like to make the Burnt Basque cheesecake for Christmas. What is the actual total liquid quantity of the eggs?
Hi i received conflicting advice on my query from family and friends. If I’m travelling back to Australia arriving on 23 Dec and I’m expected to cook your roast lamb leg recipe for 24 Dec, should I pre season the lamb in advance overseas and then bring it back frozen or unfrozen? Thank you!
Oh, you won’t be allowed to bring food through customs! Processed unopened packages food can be okay, but definitely nothing fresh will get through…
