BBC ALBA - Fuine na Nollaige

Mairi MacRitchie is in a country house in Skye, where she enlists the help of three skilled cooks and bakers to prepare a festive feast.

Tha Màiri NicRisnidh a'faighinn taic bho thriùir chòcairean is bhèiceirean ealanta gus cuirm aoibhneach bhlasta a dheasachadh ann an taigh mòr àlainn san Eilean Sgitheanach. Sann air là na Nollaige, seach air là sa bith eile, a tha sinn a'gabhail ar leòr dhe na rudan matha.

Mar sin - chan e mhàin gun deasaich na còcairean dinnear le còig cùrsaichean, ach nì iad cèicean, pàidhichean agus aran: stollen làn taois almoin airson bracaist, mince pie no dha a bhiodh math mu aon-uair-deug, agus cèic Nollaige ròiceil le deoch-làidir, a ghabhas iad as dèidh na dinnearach. Cuiridh na còcairean an làmhan ri tiodhlacan agus sgeadachadh a ghabhas ithe, criomagan beaga blasta agus.

Dearbhaidh iadsan gun téid là na Nollaige seachad gun àmhghair sa bith - fiù's anns a'chidsin - ma nì thu deasachadh gu leòrro-làimh. 

Mairi MacRitchie enlists the help of three skilled cooks and bakers to prepare a delicious festive feast in a beautiful country house on Skye. Christmas day more than any other is a time of real indulgence.

With this in mind, the cooks will not only be preparing a five-course meal, they'll also be baking festive cakes, pies and bread - a marzipan-filled stollen for breakfast, mince pies for elevenses and of course, a rich and boozy Christmas cake to round off the meal. The cooks will be sharing their ideas for edible gifts and decorations as well as recipes for cocktails and canapés.

They'll show that with plenty planning and preparation, a stress-free Christmas can be achieved - even in the kitchen.
