Relax this Christmas

Hello everyone! So it's that time of year again, the time for delicious food and treats. One particularly nice thing about Christmas is that most of us have the opportunity to enjoy food that we wouldn't normally choose to eat at any other time of the year.

With Christmas less than six weeks away, why not make the holiday season extra special and hire your own personal chef with Galor to create the ideal Christmas experience. Christmas Eve with Galor is ever the perfect way to allow you to relax and enjoy the company of your friends and family in a totally stress free environment.

Your personal chef will be experienced and able to deliver the best results for your chosen dishes, you won't have to worry about a thing!. For those of you who are far away from home, worry not. We fully cater to your needs, even if that means following one of mum's special recipes, for you, we'll do it.

The Perfect Christmas spuds:

Fluffy on the inside, golden brown on the outside. The secret is two cooking methods. Cook the potatoes in water first and then oil. The type of potato is important, you need a floury potato, but you have to cook them for as long as you possibly can without them completely disintegrating. They need to really start breaking up, so the outside's almost pureed. And then, really delicately, lift them out of the water... be careful, if you just tip the pan out they'll start pureeing because they're so soft.

Then get your oil, and make sure you've got enough - a lot of people don't put enough oil in the pan. Baste them first so they're covered in the oil, then place them in a really hot oven and keep turning them until crusty and golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. There you go the Perfect Christmas spuds.

Top Tip – How to cook the perfect pasta

The sauce is always waiting for the pasta. To open the sauce you can use a little of the pasta water.

-5 liters of water and 2 spoons of rock salt for 500g pasta.
-put the salt after the first boil and wait again for another boil.
-put the pasta in at one time and mix to prevent the pasta from sticking. The cooking time for the pasta is when it starts to be white and you can easily bite it, the pasta should remain solid, al dente” this means “to the tooth” or to the bite”.

Follow these few tips and you will certainly have the perfectly cooked pasta.galor
