Low budget Christmas menu from top author

Top author Gill Holcombe has taken the hard work out of Christmas food and put together a five-day festive menu for just £75. On the back of her successful book, 'How To Feed Your Whole Family...' Holcombe has arranged a shopping list and meals to feed a family of five. The full title of her book, How To Feed Your Whole Family a Healthy, Balanced Diet with Very Little Money and Hardly Any Time, Even if You Have a Tiny Kitchen, Only Three Saucepans (One with an Ill-fitting Lid) and no Fancy Gadgets unless You Count the Garlic Crusher..., was inspired by the author's experience as a young mum. Holcombe says Christmas meals don't have to be any more stressful than a Sunday roast. "If you think about it, Christmas dinner is really just a more glamorous roast dinner and it's really quite a simple thing to do," she said.
