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!

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"
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.
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
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.
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!
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 👍
Andy is one of the most wholesome and down to earth food related content creators on TH-cam. 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.
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 TH-cam has seen in many years.
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
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!
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 👌🏻
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!
"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)
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.
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!
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?
@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
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!
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.
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.
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 🎉🎉
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! 🎄
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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
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'!! 😅)
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 😅
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
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 🎉❤
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.
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.
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.
Just followed this and loved it! Id ease up on the butter in the stuffing but as Andy says, do what works for you! Thanks Andy 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻 you're influencing UK family meals 🤘🏻🇬🇧
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.
LOVE your kitchen, especially the layout..never understood why people put a faucet in the middle of everything - it’s supposed to be a prep station! Also love how the appliances are on the side - no more microwave above the stove! 😅
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.
Cooked this starting yesterday 9-11pm for prep and 8-12 today for the roasting. My mix of Aussie and Kiwi family loved it. They loved the variety of flavours and the super moist chicken. It was nice to have a guide for times mate. I would have still been going at 4pm without it 😂
I'm thinking of making this or most of it tomorrow. How was the stuffing? I'm a little worried because it's quite different from a lot of stuffing recipes.
Andy you are one of the best chefs on TH-cam. You are humble and a really nice guy. Your recipes are very easy to follow and tasty. Keep going you are dang great job 😊
What a fantastic hands on warts and all video! Thank you so much and all delivered with great humour and in a fashion designed to pass on a lot of skills especially when the pressure is on. 😅
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.
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!
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!

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

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.

Cooked this starting yesterday 9-11pm for prep and 8-12 today for the roasting. My mix of Aussie and Kiwi family loved it. They loved the variety of flavours and the super moist chicken. It was nice to have a guide for times mate. I would have still been going at 4pm without it 😂
I'm thinking of making this or most of it tomorrow. How was the stuffing? I'm a little worried because it's quite different from a lot of stuffing recipes.
Andy you are one of the best chefs on TH-cam. You are humble and a really nice guy. Your recipes are very easy to follow and tasty. Keep going you are dang great job 😊
Nice to see the whole crew enjoying the dinner at the end.
I am more impressed by how clean this Kitchen is then the actual cooking. :D
Ive never used bacon In my stuffing
My Grandma's recipe called for sausage. The bacon sounds delish!
What a fantastic hands on warts and all video! Thank you so much and all delivered with great humour and in a fashion designed to pass on a lot of skills especially when the pressure is on. 😅
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.
This is by far THE BEST cooking at Christmas video I’ve watched. Thanks Andy.
Thank you!
This is making me so hungry just watching this. Love Christmas dinners, especially Sunday roasts. Loved the vid mate, keep it up.
I am not cooking anything for Christmas dinner but I am sitting here enraptured watching Andy do it.
Quite brave to cook brussels sprouts for christmas. I don't think any of my friends would appreciate it lol.
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!
The part I always get flustered with as a noob home cook is having all of this arrive at the table hot 🤣
Very impressive Andy you nailed it beautifully.
Merry Christmas to you all from Scotland 🎉
Merry Christmas from Aus
I Don't think I've drooled as much over a TH-cam video before 🤤.
Definitely making your carrots, the beef, and your potatoes for Christmas. Your chicken definitely for New Year's eve.
"I'm not used to being held accountable for my time" LOLs "order up, chef" 🙂🥰
Typically down to earth kiwi ✊✊🇳🇿🇳🇿 and a great chef
Take a shot every time Andy says stunning. Love it man!
