Yes, it’s that time of year already. The Christmas countdown is officially on. Between festive lights, gift lists, and visions of roasties dancing in our heads, planning the big day can feel like a full-on kitchen marathon. Luckily, Jamie Oliver has a trick up his sleeve that promises to take a little of the stress out of your Christmas cooking: his famous Get Ahead Gravy. And this Saturday, the magic happens.
Jamie’s Get Ahead Gravy is one of those genius shortcuts that feels like cheating, in the best possible way. As with Jamie Oliver's Air Fryer hacks, the gravy trick is designed to save you time. In this case, it's up to five hours on the big day, it’s perfect for anyone who dreams of a leisurely Christmas lunch rather than a panicked, apron-covered dash around the kitchen. Think of it as prepping your festive flavour in advance so you can spend more time on your Christmas tablescape and less time at the hob.
