• 1 cup butter(230 g), softened
• 7 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 5 lb boneless ribeye roast(2.2 kg), trimmed
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups beef stock(475 mL)
• mashed potato, to serve
• green bean, to serve
• 
  
• Method
• Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
• Mix together the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined.
• Rub the herb butter all over the rib roast, then place on a roasting tray with a rack.
• Bake for 5 minutes per pound (10 minutes per kilo) of meat, so a 5-pound (2.2 kg) roast would bake for 25 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let the rib roast sit in the oven for 2 hours, making sure you do not open the oven door or else the residual heat will escape.
• Once the 2 hours are up, remove the roast from the pan and pour the pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the flour, whisking until there are no lumps, then add the beef stock, stirring and bringing the sauce to a boil.
• Remove from heat and strain the sauce into a gravy dish.
• Carve the prime rib into ¾-inch (20 mm) slices.
• Serve with the mashed potatoes, green beans, and sauce!

• ¼ cup vegan margarine(50 g)
• ½ cup soy milk(120 mL)
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus 1 litre (4 cups) extra for frying
• 2 cups plain flour(250 g)
• ½ cup caster sugar(100 g)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 
  
• Method
• Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together. Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork. Make a well in the centre.
• Pour the butter mixture into the well. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
• Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the centre of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
• Heat up the litre of oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
• Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil. Then roll into a bowl of the remaining sugar.

• 15 lb turkey(6.7 kg)
• ¼ cup kosher salt(60 g)
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
• cooking oil, of choice, for drizzling

TURKEY STOCK

• 1 turkey carcas
• 1 medium yellow onion, quartered
• 3 carrots, peeled and halved
• 3 stalks celery, cut into thirds
• kosher salt, to taste
• cooking oil, of choice, for drizzling
• cold water
• 2 bay leaves

GRAVY

• ⅓ cup rendered turkey fat(75 g), or butter
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour(40 g)
• 1 qt turkey stock(945 mL), or chicken stock
• 1 bunch fresh sage, optional
• kosher salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 
  
• Method
• The day before serving, prepare the turkey for brining. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Set the neck aside for the stock. Cut off the wing tips and set aside with the neck.
• Butcher the turkey into 8 pieces: 2 breasts, 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 2 wings. Set aside the carcass for the stock.
• Combine the salt, brown sugar, pepper, and granulated garlic in a small bowl.
• Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet. Place the turkey parts skin-side up on the rack and generously sprinkle with the seasoning blend. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Make the stock: Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
• Place the turkey carcass, wing tips, and neck on a baking sheet with the onion, carrots, and celery. Season lightly with salt and drizzle with oil.
• Roast for 30-45 minutes, or until the carcass and vegetables are deep brown.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables, turkey carcass, and other parts to a large stock pot.
• From the still-warm baking sheet from roasting the carcass, pour any rendered fat into a small bowl. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) of water to the pan and scrape off any browned bits from roasting process, then pour into a separate bowl. Reserve for the gravy.
• Strain the stock, discarding the solids. The stock will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator or for 3 months in the freezer.
• Cover the carcass with cold water. Add the bay leaves and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer (don’t boil!) for 3 hours.
• Make the gravy: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey fat and flour, stirring to combine. Cook the fat and flour together, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. This is a roux--you are cooking out the raw flour taste and deepening the flavor.
• Gradually add the stock to the roux, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, continuing to stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator until ready to warm for serving with the turkey. The gravy will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• 2 hours before you are ready to serve the turkey, preheat the oven to 425°F (220˚C).
• Remove the turkey parts from the fridge and drizzle with oil before placing in the hot oven.
• Roast for 30 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet to ensure even browning. Reduce the oven temperature to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 160°F (70˚C).
• Or when the thigh registers 170˚F (77˚C). Start checking after about 20 minutes, removing any parts from the oven as they reach proper temperature so that they don’t overcook.
• Once all parts are done, loosely cover with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes while you warm the gravy.
• Add the gravy and sage, if using, to a medium saucepan over low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve the turkey with the gravy and your favorite Thanksgiving dishes.

• 340 g evaporated milk(340 g)
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 6 cups boiling water(1.4 L), for water bath
• 
  
• Method
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts into an amber-colored caramel, 5–6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugar is fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the caramel into a 9 x 5-inch (22x12 cm) loaf pan. Let the caramel cool for 5 minutes while you make the custard.
• Add the egg yolks and condensed milk to a large bowl and whisk to combine, then add the evaporated milk and lemon extract and whisk to incorporate.
• Pour the custard into the pan with the caramel. Cover the pan with foil.
• Set the loaf pan in a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the baking dish, taking care not to splash any into the flan.
• Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the flan is fully set.
• Remove the flan from the oven, lift the loaf pan from the water bath, and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for overnight.
• When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the flan, then invert onto a platter, slice, and serve.

• 3 ¾ lb gammon joint(1.7 kg)
• 2 onions, quartered
• 3 qt pineapple juice(3 L)

PINEAPPLE MAPLE GLAZE

• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• ½ cup pineapple juice(125 mL)
• ½ cup maple syrup(125 mL)
• 25 cloves
• 
  
• Method
• Place the gammon joint in a large pot and add the onions and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 70 minutes. (Gammon joints need to cook for 40 minutes per kilo (2 ¼ lbs), so if you are using a smaller or large gammon joint, adjust the cooking time accordingly.)
• Once cooked, carefully remove the gammon joint from the pan and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Make the glaze: in a small pan over a medium heat, combine the Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced and glossy.
• Carefully remove the skin from the gammon joint, using a small paring knife to help ease the fat away from the skin. Be sure to leave a small layer of fat on top of the gammon.
• Score the fat in a diamond pattern and push a clove into each cross section.
• Liberally brush the gammon joint with the glaze, making sure to reserve at least half of the glaze.
• Roast the gammon joint for 40 minutes, glazing again halfway through.
• Carve and serve.
