Sir, – In the weeks ahead before Christmas, we’ll have pages and pages of recipes on Christmas cooking in magazines, including your one.
We’ll have endless television and radio programmes, with all the usual chefs giving us yet more Christmas cooking advice, sometimes in very exotic surroundings, beautifully decorated at some expense, no doubt.
I sometimes look into some of these but I don’t take on board any of the new Christmas recipes and advice.
Are many of you out there like me and do all the Christmas cooking and baking exactly as your mother did years ago, with no variation on her delicious stuffing, gravy, sherry trifle, etc?

‘I am at a loss as to how €5,200 goes missing’: PTSB customers say refunds disappeared without a trace
Explainer: What military aid was the US giving Ukraine?
Girls and sport: ‘You don’t really aspire to be something that you don’t see. There’s a lot more to be done’
And starters on Christmas Day were unheard of.
We don’t need any further advice on how to produce a Christmas dinner. – Yours, etc,
SHEELAGH COYLE,
