Tips and inspiration on managing a big family Christmas, plus the history of cloves.

Featuring tips and ideas on managing a big family Christmas, recipes from Mary Contini and Neil Forbes, the history and roots of cloves, and food from favourite festive films!

Clare English and the team discover a wealth of ideas and inspiration for managing a big family Christmas with the help of chef and cafe owner Kirsten Gilmour and food event organiser Aoife Behan.

Chef Neil Forbes shows Gillian Russell how to make smoked mackerel pate, a simple but delicious starter or canape which is easy to do for a big gathering over the festive period.

Aoife Behan describes Watch & Wolf, a new multi-sensory cinema experience in Edinburgh where audiences tuck into food and drink which relates to the festive film they're watching.

Cook and food writer Mary Contini shows Dan Holland how to make roasted vegetables, perfect for a large-scale buffet at Christmas time.

In the first part of our Scents Of Christmas series, cook and world food expert Ghillie Basan talks about the history and roots of cloves and how we have come to associate them with the festive season.
