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. 😅

Life of Dozer
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. 😂

Your mini baked cheesecakes I want to make them early I’m sure these can be frozen then I do cream n toppings on day I also know base won’t be crunchy
I’m cooking your slow roasted belly pork for Christmas Day. The pork will be around 1.5kg – how long do I cook it for as the recipe is for 1kg. Thanks! And Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you all. X E
Nagi I’m struggling with our Christmas as my husband has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes & Doc says NO SUGAR
Can you give me with any suggestions or help with this
I always get nervous about carving a half leg ham with the bone in. What is the easiest way to carve and do I remove the cloves before serving 🙏
Hi Nagi and JB can I make gravy the day before and reheat it on the day
I’m cooking your slow cooked lamb for Xmas and will serve it around 3pm. It takes 10 hours so not sure how best to do it. Help please and Merry Christmas
Dear Nagi & Dozer
Thank you for the amazing gift that is you! The gift that keeps giving. Christmas Blessings to you & the RTE Team

Hi Nagi! I love your 12 hr lamb shoulder but wondered if it would work if I cooked the day before to have at Christmas lunch?
Help with ideas for a small family of 3 for a picnic meal at the beach on Christmas Day. Finger food that can be kept in the esky and doesn’t require utensils to eat. Love your work Nagi and JB
Do you have a recipe for Dozer and friend’s treats ?
Love you all you make me laugh
Merry Christmas to you Dozer,JB , and all the Recipetineats elves xx
Hello Nagi and thankyou for your awesome recipes, im wondering how do I whip cream the day before and have it stay nice and stiff?
I will be by myself for Christmas day, what should I make for lunch or dinner with no left overs as I am going to the mainland/Canberra on boxing day.
Just love everything I read from you all. ♥️♥️🎄♥️♥️🎄
What is the best seafood sauce recipe, please.
I am making your Turkey stuffing. Can I cook the sausage and all the rest of the ingredients except for the toasted bread and then freeze tgat, and then defrost that and add the bread on Xmas day.
Just suggesting a nice original drink for an aperitif at Xmas : Cassis from Dan Murphys and Champagne = a French Kir Royal or with just White wine a traditional Kir. I think JB would agree with me there. Can use Raspberry or Peach alcohol too.
What can I use as a substitute for cornflower if I am trying to thicken something?
You and your team are amazing
Thankyou
I am serving standing rib, best recipe ever a used for many years, on Christmas Day for 4 people as we are English but live in cyprus what sides would you recommend please.
How do I stop eating the Christmas Candy Popcorn? I’m on my third batch already
