Delia Smith returns to our screens with a celebration of festive cooking, including practical planning tips designed to take the stress out of the build-up. As well as her fragrant mincemeat and bronzed turkey with trimmings, Delia will be preparing her best cranberry and orange relish, scallops in the shell, fillet of beef with mushroom and red wine sauce, roasted bacon with blackened crackling, a chocolate and sour cherry crumble, and, to top it off, a gorgeous panettone trifle.
