This Is How I Cook Christmas Dinner

- Today, follow along as I cook the team a Christmas dinner feast - the way I would normally cook a feast without cameras and recipes. The steps overlap, my time is limited, the recipes are delicious and the team will be well fed. Enjoy ✌️
Timings for Your Christmas Dinner
The timings below are for a 3pm dinner. Adjust as needed based on the time you're planning to eat, e.g. if you're eating at 6pm, you would start at 1pm. It's worth noting that these timings should give you plenty of time to still enjoy yourself, and the more you do the day before, the less you have to do on the day.
Hour 1: 10am
Put the beef in the oven.
Make the stuffing, then leave it in the fridge to cool.
Make the Yorkshire pudding batter.
Hour 2: 11am
Peel and cut the potatoes.
Start boiling the potatoes.
Prepare chickens for the oven.
Prepare, cook, and cool the baby carrots.
Hour 3: 12pm
Place the chickens in the oven.
Prepare, cook, and cool the sprouts.
Start making the gravy.
Hour 4: 1pm
You should be at a good point now. Tidy up and prepare for the final push to have everything ready on time.
About halfway through the hour, start roasting the potatoes.
Start cooking the Yorkshire puddings.
Hour 5 (final hour): 2pm - Go Time
15 minutes into the last hour, put the beef and chicken back in for the final browning.
Once the meat is back in, start finishing the carrots and sprouts.
20 minutes before your meal, start to carve the meat.
Plate the vegetables - if they need a quick flash in the oven to get them piping hot, go for it.
All going to plan, everything should be on the table with 5 minutes to spare.

love how humble andy is, he's a professional but also he shows that at home he doesn't bother with all the extra steps as they do in the restaurants. Absolutely love it.
thanks legend!
Yes!! I just stumbled on his channel and right in time as I’m frazzled tossing around ideas for Christmas dinner
Top 5 cooking channels:
Kenji, Andy, John, Adam and Sonny. With shotouts to Helen and Ethan.
Boy would that be a food masterclass.
@@nicholasm2239Alex French guy cooking, Andong, Italia Squisita
Exactly! That's what I, like about his Cooking & Channel❤
I like the editing style of this. Feels homely and not ridiculously over the top.
@@JessEllinVlogs you might want to re-read the OP he did say not ridiculously over the top. The addition of ridiculously does it mean there’s some over the top involved. You seem to be looking for an argument we’re not exist just saying.
Thanks mate!
Backround music is well annoying. I thought my phone and the doorbell were going off while watching. Make it a bit louder, so it's all noticeable. Or take it off completely.
@@andy_cooks Plus how often do we get to see Brian Cranston put on an Australian accent and play the part of the worlds most obvious undercover cop!
Just taking a jab, I love your channel, the way you present the techniques and ingredients to the viewer, and frankly you are going to be a major influence on my own channel.
Except that moustache... That's... Well... Hmmmm. Lost a bet? Cosplay project? Upper lip rash keeping you from shaving? Just TOO many fans flinging themselves into your lap? Must be some sort of rational explanation...
Let's thank to Mitch!
First xmas in my own restaurant the power to the town went down after a storm, we had redirected calls from very early asking if Christmas dinner was cancelled... we cooked on gas so it wasn't, much to the delight of ALL the patrons... the best part for me as the chef was there was little to no pressure on me.. people were happy to get fed in candle light. The power came on just before coffee was being served and most of the customers shouted " turn the lights off"
honestly you're the first chef i've found since chef john that actually seems down to earth and knows what they're talking about.
Love chef john!
This is a great comment and goes towards why he's successful
as someone's who's father is a chef you have no idea how blessed and lucky i feel he cooks my christmas dinner for me
Good on ya mate for not wasting our time with verbose explanations. Your editor deserves a raise.
love it that you always remind and emphasize on cooking not needing to be perfect. work with what you got, learn, adapt, improvise, and appreciate the process
I am continually amazed at not only how easy you make it all look, but also at your totally down to earth nature. No pretense, just darned good food presented in a way that makes us all want to get in the kitchen and cook. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family Andy, and I look forward to watching many more of your videos inthe new year.
Thanks mate, Merry Christmas to you! I hope you eat some great food over the holidays.
This man is a beast. And there is just something comforting about hearing an ANZ accent take you through this step by step.
You get intoxicated of suck much Christmas food delights. Better get online classes before you start cooking properly.
Love the term 'ANZ accent'.Think l'm going to start calling it that too. I know Andy's a Kiwi but, lMO our 'middle ground' accents seem to be getting closer to each other. Sometimes it doesn't matter how long l listen l just can't tell which side of the ditch someone is from. 😊
Hands down the best and most genuine chef in the world. Excellent video, Andy! Merry Christmas!
Thank you, and Merry christmas to you!
@@andy_cookshey Andy!
Merry Christmas to you and your girlfriend!❤️
This video is great because it shows how time management is a very useful and important skill to have in the kitchen when cooking large feasts as shown here or anything for that matter
In short, you are a special case in the world of cooking and education. A thousand greetings to you from Lebanon ♥️🇱🇧
Shout out from Bangladesh. We don't have Christmas here, but your video inspired me to cook all those dishes for my family. Thanks Andy. You are a true inspiration.
Awesome video Andy. From start to finish you’ve got everything covered and it all looks delicious 🤙
Yorkshire puddings on Christmas Dinner is a bit controversial though? (Personally I love them every day)
@@jonjohnson2844 who cares
Might have to come back to this in like 10 years when I’m ready to cook a Christmas lunch
Hey, Andy, we cooked your beef, yorkies, and potatoes for Xmas lunch turned out sensational. One of the best meals I've cooked. Cheers
You are the man Andy, since losing my Dad who was a well-known local chef I very much appreciate your videos and information.
Much thanks to Andy and the team for a terrific year of content 👋
Loved your irreverence during this session. Don't stress about it. Have fun 😊
P.S. ya gravy looked bonza mate 👍
Thanks legend! Hope you eat some good food over the holidays!
So glad that finally someone has explained the technique of stuffing...eternally greatful 😊
Andy is one of the most wholesome and down to earth food related content creators on RUclips. It's good, simple, honest cooking that you can easily follow along with at home. In my opinion, he is the future of what the general public has coined "celebrity chefs." It's nothing like Gordon Ramsay, which is very explosive, to the point, and hard to follow along with, almost as if Gordon is leading a service in a professional kitchen, not teaching someone who simply enjoys cooking at home. Andy is concise and takes his time to explain each step in a way that someone who isn't a professional chef will understand. I've cooked a few recipes of Andy's and had success every time even managed to get my children eating them as well, which is amazing as they are both picky eaters.
It might not look fast on camera but that's really quick. I'm impressed just how efficient Andy is.
Leaving a bit of green on the carrots is a really nice touch. So is roughing up the potatoes.
Perfect timing! I just today began thinking of what to serve. Since it’s for only three persons I do two or three different meals over a few days, starting with the feast of seven fishes on Christmas Eve. Looking at that yummy sage stuffing for Christmas Day..
edit: OMG Everything looks mouthwatering delish, I may have to make both!
One thing I wanted to make was Chippeo, but crab season is still closed, so maybe for new years
@@anthonygm85 I get frozen snow crab legs from the big blue box store.
The best Xmas cooking video I’ve seen of 2023. What a machine.
Those yorkies are mad. Absolutely beautiful.
It will sound stupid, but - discovering this channel might be the best online thing happening to me this almost passed year 😅
The no-nonsense approach towards cooking, simple, down-to-earth language and still top shelf results attainable for 'the ordinary guy' - this made me really want to cook more, experiment too, even without own 'Babe', 'Basic Mitch' or others to cook for.
Thank you, Chef for another simple, yet brilliant video and for everything (including the cookbook that arrived few days ago and is AMAZING, from cover to back!) and Merry Christmas for you and the Crew!
Absolutely relate to this, i always liked to cook, andy made me get up and get done.
It’s currently 4:20 in the morning in the uk , I am watching this now as I have a baby that won’t sleep. I’m so hungry it looks so good great video !!
"Maybe you want a reason to NOT spend time with your family, that also relevant."
This is really important! Not everybody has the energy to deal with a lot of people the whole day (or even multiple days). Use it. Take you time while preping food.
Thank you, Andy, for being so chill in this (but also in like every one of your videos)
I really like this style of video and editing. It feels alot more “homely” and attainable in a way. Merry Christmas to Andy, Babe, and the team! Cheers!
That stunning Christmas dinner was stunningly done. In such a stunning manner. I’m so stunned. I love this guy!! He’s the most keepin’ it real chef RUclips has seen in many years.
There are other adjectives…
Came across this Christmas dinner video on Christmas Eve and so glad I did. I followed most of the recipes and it went down a treat with my family. Tasty dishes and easy to follow steps (I even made my first yorshire pudding which was a hit). Thank you Andy
It is important allways to thank’s for the food served. Nothing come east or free.
You could always try and recruit some helpers. Merry Christmas to you!
I struggle to make one roast and mash, this guy made a lunch for 12 people
I've had practice doing it, but it is possible
@@andy_cooks having so much professional experience definitely helps! Thanks heaps for your hard workand making amazing content!
Yeah you are very humble Andy!
Love from Mauritius!
Thank you Andy for great tips about prep, flash heating and oven co-ordination. Enjoy all your videos, especially how you edit them and don't make us watch prep in real time. You showed us a whole Christmas meal in 26 mins! Wishing you and your family and team the merriest Christmas.
It's what makes restaurant chefs better with meals like this. The consideration and understanding of oven/stove space
This is absolutely fantastic, real and explained. My girlfriend suprised me with your book for my birthday after she noticed I was watching so much of your content. It's helped me really level up my cooking! Highly recommend Andys book to anyone! Keep it up 👌🏻
Really appreciate you doing this 'in real time' Andy. A realistic countdown even us plebs can meet and lots of handy tops and tricks throughout. Happy Xmas Chef & Crew. Hope you have a blast.
omds this looks soooo good!😍
Awesome video Andy! Everything looks delicious! In Germany, we always roast a whole Goose on christmas day. In our family, the goose is stuffed with dried plums, Apples, chestnuts and the innards of the goose. The meat is served with a delicious gravy, Potato Dumplings and red cabbage. The fat from the goose is saved, and we use it as a spread on our delious german bread or to make fried potatoes (Bratkartoffeln). The presents are always opend on christmas eve. On Christmas eve, we always have Bread with good charcuterie, and cheeses. We also eat salads. One very traditional german food on christmas eve is the heringssalat, a salad with hering and cooked red beets. I love our christmas food, and its always fascinating to hear what other cultures like to eat this time of year!
Next year I am coming to your place for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family..
Australia 🥂🎅 🎄
@@avengernemesis7990 Merry Christmas to you too and happy new year! Maybe the year after that I can visit you in Australia, that would be awesome.
Just love watching Andy, a proper chef!
I never thought I will thoroughly enjoy English chef. I just subbed. Thank you.
Just for your information, Andy is not English, he is a Kiwi (New Zealander).
@@OZJDStill part of the Anglospere!
@@siege919 so?
He's not English.
That would be the equivalent of me calling a Mexican Spanish, or a Brazilian Portuguese.
Love watching you cook Andy very down to earth no mucking around enjoyable 😊
I really loved this video and editing style! It felt really “cozy” but informative at the same time. As my family’s cook, i definitely get the time crunch of cooking for everyone during the holidays- and so I really loved seeing Andy, a professional chef, go through it all and go through his process of doing it effectively.
Great job, Andy and Team! I’d love to see more videos like this in the future. And Merry Christmas! 🎄
Merry Christmas Andy…
Wow. I’ve cooked many a Christmas dinner, I can never get everything ready at the same time. Thank you so much Andy this should help me with my timings. I hope you, your family and all the subscribers have a very merry Christmas, holidays or whatever you celebrate.see you all in the new year 🎉🎉
Very interesting to see how a pro Aussie does "Chrissy". I've always wanted to try making yorkshire pudding! I make Brussel sprouts every week, they are so delicious!
As an Australian we never have chicken or beef at Christmas. We have Turkey and ham and prawns, and I think most people I know do this too. We also don't have it hot but cold with salads.
I think this may be more New Zealand Christmas? Or maybe Queensland?
What do other Aussies have for Christmas?
@@keenahudson1853I’ve never had turkey for Christmas, prawns are a must and either beef or chicken.
@keenahudson1853 America does Christmas dinner different across the country. I'm used to lasagna on the east coast. I live just above Texas, and it's usually smoked meats. My MIL loves me and is making lasagna. Yes, I'm Garfield the cat as a human! 😆😆😆
My Australian family never do Turkey for Xmas. Sometimes roast beef, but usually roast lamb and chicken. I think it just depends on the Family tbh. Oh and a cold ham that lasts weeks in the fridge, wrapped in a pillow case. Great fried up with eggs for breakfast for a month straight 😂@@keenahudson1853
@@keenahudson1853 In Queensland it's almost always plenty of seafood, honey ham and beers.
My Christmas prep started today. Got my 1.3kg crayfish out of the freezer, in the fridge to defrost for a meal on the 23rd. My family always has cold food and salads for Christmas.
Congratulations on the success you have achieved so far. I enjoyed every minute of this video as I am still working out what my Christmas menu is going to be. Thank you for all of your hard work. Merry Christmas to you, your family, and of course, the team who helps to make these awesome videos possible.
Made the roast beef and the potatoes. Beef was an absolute winner - loved by everyone and I will be doing it again next month because it was too nice to only have once!
I cooked it to well done and it was tender and melt in the mouth.
Thanks so much for the brilliant breakdown on timings - it was very helpful!
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
He's such a chill guy to listen to!!
I feel like he enjoyed making this meal more than maybe other ones 😂 such good energy!
totally it's a classic
Love the fact that you are not sacrosanct about stuff.... Less stress and leaves the cook with choices. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones Chef!
Legend.
Merry Christmas to you and yours from Canada.
Cheers! 🥂
(Loving the cookbook, btw)
Thanks mate, have a good Christmas!
Bravo chef 👏👏👏 so many vids about roasting meat but I still find myself coming back to yours, the explanations are not dumbed-down, and always comprehensive and accessible.
Super hyped to be hosting my family this year for Christmas! I've rehearsed pork belly crackling 4 times to dial in a method and settled on the Cantonese method. I've also gone full hedonist and my "Roast Potatoes" will be deep fried!
I'm woefully slow in the kitchen but thankfully I know my brother and mother will show up and be delighted to assist. Andy's professional workflow skills really show here. 😆
Also I thought the thin gravy was probably deliberate and at risk of being labeled a heretic I appreciated it.
Thank you for the short, sweet and to the point recipes!! Merry Christmas 🎁⛄🎄☃️❄️🕯️
That's wicked! You the best! Love the vids :)
Totally agree!
Thanks legend
Every time I watch this guy cook and talk, he seems like the most calm, composed and patient person in the world. Mate you ever get angry? ❤❤
The home kitchen is a pretty chill place in comparison to working in professional kitchens. The odd times I do get angry, it's just at myself for making a mistake.
This is so great. Getting the timing right for multiple dishes is a challenge. You nailed it :)
thanks mate
Love the recognision of most people not having TWO ovens, "so just do 1 protien" and then guidance throughout for everything else! So many videos just assume we have beautiful kitchens like yours. Grounded, thoughtful and genuine 🤘
(and as a Brit, the gravy looked ok too.... it'll never be 'how mum made it'!! 😅)
Andy: making an amazing Christmas dinner. Me: ooh my guinea pigs would love those carrot tops 😂😂😂. Merry Christmas Andy to you and yours. Thank you for all the wonderful videos this year
I love your mantra of ‘point in cooking something twice’👌🏽
Heey Chef much ❤from Nairobi,Kenya😊
Come on Kenya ❤❤
Jambo rafiki!!!!
@@MadAtGenocideApologistsMAGA sijambo😁🙃
Good morning Kenya!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Andy! 🎉🎄🥂 Thank you for another year of amazing and delicious foods and content! Hope you all have a much deserved break 🎉❤
Merry Christmas to you and thank you for following along with all the meals we've made this year! I hope you eat some great food over the holidays.
Andy, one year and one year, one of my brothers was chosen to cook Christmas dinner (lunch actually) and he used a cup of flour to 2 cups of broth and delicious veggies. We sliced it and nothing could save it. He never was asked to cook again.
sometimes Christmas dinner is best done as a team
"you can just shove some lemon up there". Context is everything. 🙂
Merry XMas Andy, Babes, Mitch (basic!!) and every one else.
PS
Rissoles please Chef - yes I've asked on the website. Plain or fancy.
No mash chef 😂😂😂😂
Merry Xmas to you!
Absolutely love you Chef! I don’t really know what else to say except you’re just so down to earth and knowledgeable and yet I’m really appreciate you and all that you share with us
Fluffy Potatoes 😅
So much inspiration, you're a legend mate! Merry Christmas to you and the team❤
Merry Christmas mate!
Nice to see the whole crew enjoying the dinner at the end.
Awesome bro keep it up
thanks mate
This is making me so hungry just watching this. Love Christmas dinners, especially Sunday roasts. Loved the vid mate, keep it up.
Day 30 of requesting for mala hotpot for Eden 😅
I love the realism of this!!! It’s so true.. you have to start early to be successful
Simply unique Performance and a very nice guy!!
I am more impressed by how clean this Kitchen is then the actual cooking. :D
Sorry Andy nothing will ever beat Matty Mathesons thanks giving dinner will always be the best!
I respect you doing this over a week from Christmas so i can borrow some tips. Its means you've done this recently and will maybe do it again at Christmas.
Andy you are one of the best chefs on RUclips. You are humble and a really nice guy. Your recipes are very easy to follow and tasty. Keep going you are dang great job 😊
This is by far THE BEST cooking at Christmas video I’ve watched. Thanks Andy.
Thank you!
Merry Merry Andy, Babe and Co. all the way from sunny South Africa! I’ve loved watching your videos and love how honest and down to earth you are! ❤
Thank you for not filling this video with adverts.
Fantastic video mate
I got my first Christmas away from home and I’m cooking so I really needed a guide this is great!!! Thank you!! Have a happy Christmas and a happy new year
I love your content whether it's RUclips shorts or long formats like these!
Take a shot every time Andy says stunning. Love it man!
"I'm not used to being held accountable for my time" LOLs "order up, chef" 🙂🥰
The part I always get flustered with as a noob home cook is having all of this arrive at the table hot 🤣
I am not cooking anything for Christmas dinner but I am sitting here enraptured watching Andy do it.
Thanks for all the videos Andy (and team). Your cookbook is a winner at this household and your Mk2 scraper thingy is going to be my Christmas present from my son! Add the ideas from this video to the mix for Christmas lunch and this Aussie is one happy camper! All the best for Christmas and the New Year.
I love this!! It really shows just HOW MUCH EFFORT is needed to create a true FEAST~
Wow! Merry Christmas Andy! You are born to cook and teach and V u thank you for that . ❤️
Genius idea for this video - really helps to take some of the panic out of the process and is a great help with planning and prioritizing. Keep putting out this fantastic content, chef!
Thanks legend!
Merry Christmas to you all from Scotland 🎉
Merry Christmas from Aus
I've not watched a lot of your longer form content, but I have to say I really appreciated this video. Your humor, your serene attitude, and just the way you explained things was great. I could have gone with a bit less jumping from the editing, sometimes it made it diffult to follow, but overall I really enjoyed this video and I hope you make more like it!
I get a pheasant and beef. Whike the beef rests it gives enough time to roast the pheasant and resting time usually works out right to serve both with no issues. Or a turkey, depending on size, needs a good hour to rest so gives time for a smaller protein to cook and rest. I just love xmas food. Not bothered with presents, just the food. Love it.
Have a happy Christmas and enjoy your break team. Thanks again for the yummy treats.
Fabulous ideas to make Christmas meals easier. Love the direction what can be prep day before..... That will make it easier. Thank you mate, great job!!
My dressing/stuffing is made with homemade cornbread, and seasoned bread cubes with seasonings, and a lot more stuff. Never made it like this. So it is true everyone has their own kind of dressing/stuffing.
You're a legend! Merry Christmas to you, Babe, and the team. Look forward to more fabulous content in 2024.
Quite brave to cook brussels sprouts for christmas. I don't think any of my friends would appreciate it lol.
My favourite cooking channel at the moment - thanks :)
i appreciate that!
Andy Merry Christmas from the states! Absolutely love the way you filmed this one... very real for us home cooks and honestly for me timing is the biggest issue with these big dinners, not really the technique so much. Please feel free to add more of this timing or longer videos to show a better idea of prep times and real world cook times. I'm making a wellington for dinner tomorrow and I learned the hard way to prep days in advance, started my demi stock 4 days ago and did the mushroom duxelle yesterday, about to do some crepes and butcher the whole tenderloin tonight so tomorrow isnt full of madness and stress.
