Foodie resolutions: Lilly Higgins

On Christmas Day

I am usually in my parents house and it’s all food based. We start by having selection boxes for breakfast and a fry-up. For the past few years, I’ve missed all that with the new babies so we get there between ten and 11 to begin a mince pie session. I freeze loads in the run up to Christmas and make all the brandy butter and rum butter. It’s my favourite part of the morning. Then it’s off peeling carrots, or whatever, for the dinner with everyone helping. We have dinner at about three or four and then it’s food coma time.
