CHRISTMAS LUNCH

Page 2: Christmas cook book

Here at COOK, one of our core values is called ‘Churchill’s Pig’. According to Sir Winston: a cat looks down on you; a dog looks up to you; but a pig looks you in the eye and sees its equal. This is how we try to talk to each other and to you, our customers. So, time for a bit of “pork talk” regarding the festive season. I have always found Christmas a difficult time. In our business, December tends to be hugely busy and stressful and, in the past, the arrival of the 25th has found me craving nothing more than sleep. Things are different now I have three wonderful children who adore every moment, but I remain conscious that December can be extremely hard work if you are the designated Christmas fairy in your household. For you, in particular, I hope we can provide a helping hand in the kitchen this year to give you a bit more time to enjoy yourself. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

1. At our Kitchen, we COOK using exactly the same ingredients and techniques you would at home

2. Freezing at -35°C locks in the flavour and nutrients (no nasty additives or preservatives required)

3. At home, you heat from frozen in your oven or microwave

4. Enjoy a meal that looks and tastes homemade (maybe even a bit better than you might manage yourself)

On the front of every COOK dish you’ll find the name of the chef who made it. Remarkable food made by real people.

A STRESS-FREE

CHRISTMASLUNCH

Available from November 5th

IMPROVED Stuffed Crown of Turkey* (8) 45.00All our turkeys are bred for us by William Grove Smith on his farm in Essex, where he follows a “plough to plate” philosophy: growing all his own wheat and barley to feed the birds, using his farm straw for their daily bedding and recycling their waste as fertilizer for his fields. We take the turkey crown, lay it flat and pile on our amazing stuffing made with Cumberland sausage meat from Speldhurst butchers, bramley apples, chestnuts, sage and dried cranberries for sweetness. The crown is folded around the stuffing and wrapped in a lattice of sweet-cured bacon to make sure the meat stays lovely and juicy. (Don’t forget to let your turkey rest for half an hour before carving).

The

Alternative

Christmas

Pudding

If your Christmas Day is a more

intimate affair, then our Corn-fed Chicken Cushion with a fig and brandy stuffing is the perfect turkey

alternative. We take two, tender

breasts from a single corn-fed chicken,

keeping them attached together with

the skin. The breasts are laid flat with

fresh spinach leaves placed on top,

then a hand-rolled ball of stuffing,

made from Speldhurst cumberland

sausage meat with brandy-soaked

figs, goes in the middle. The chicken

is then carefully wrapped around the

stuffing, with rashers of sweet-cured

bacon placed on top and a bay leaf

garnish in the middle. The cushion is

then secured with string. It comes with

a richly flavoured Madeira jus, made

by reducing Madeira, redcurrant jelly,

cider vinegar and white wine with

thyme and bay leaves. Carve into slices

and serve with a full complement of

Christmas sides.

Corn-fed Chicken Cushion(2) 13.95 LTD

2 Goat’s Cheese & Mushroom Filo Parcels

The deep, earthy mushroom flavours

of our Goat’s Cheese & Mushroom Filo Parcels are enhanced by a drizzle

of decadent truffle oil and balanced

by a sweet balsamic reduction and a

layer of goat’s cheese.

2 Goat’s Cheese & Mushroom Filo Parcels (2) 12.25 V

Our Nut Loaf delivers a delicious

blend of savoury and sweet flavours,

with toasted nuts blended with

Madeira-soaked apricots, mushrooms

and herbs, topped with red onion

marmalade. As well as a generous

main course, it’s a great vegetarian

alternative to stuffing.

Christmas Lunch for Two

Rumour has it that plenty of people don’t actually like Christmas pud. Unbelievable. Still, our Double Chocolate Bombe is so spectacular that we may be tempted to defect this year. The only slight downside is that you can’t set it on fire... unless you have sparklers...

NEW Double Chocolate Bombe (10)15.00 LTD VIndulgent, chocolate mousse inside marsala-soaked, chocolate sponge, covered with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa. With a “surprise” soft, raspberry toffee middle.

NEW Fig & Stilton en Croute

(2) 7.95 VHalf a sweet, sticky fig and salty Stilton cheese, with chopped walnuts and a spoonful of our own, fig chutney, served inside golden, puff pastry. Add a salad with blue cheese, walnuts and balsamic dressing for a stunning starter.

Ravioli (serves 4 as a starter) 4.99Our award-winning ravioli needs to be tasted to be believed. Made for us (and a few top hotels and restaurants) by Francesco to his family recipe, each perfectly-formed pasta parcel delivers a little explosion of flavour.

Pea & Shallot V

Pumpkin

Smoked Salmon Terrine (6-8) 8.99Yes, it’s old school but this blend of delicate, soft smoked salmon and trout mousse, topped with smoked salmon slices is light and delicious. Serve a slice of terrine with some triangles of crisp toast and a green salad.

Handmade Pâtés 4.99Each of our handmade pates delivers an intense burst of flavour, with a lovely soft texture. Serve in individual ramekins with a spoonful of chutney and a garnish of fresh herbs. Chicken Liver NEW Duck & Plum

Venison & Pistachio

Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms, Lemon & Sage Butter (1) 3.99 (2) 6.99 V only

Our award-winning risotto is everything you’d expect: rich and creamy with deep, lingering mushroom flavours. Serve with shaved Parmesan, cracked black pepper and a drizzle of truffle oil. One portion serves two as a starter.

Butternut Squash & Spinach Tartlets (2) 3.99 V

Cheese Soufflés with Red Onion Marmalade (2 soufflés) 4.99A little, frozen miracle. A feather-light soufflé made with mature cheddar, feta and Parmesan cheese. Each soufflé comes in a hand-shaped, filo pastry basket with a spoonful of our own, red onion marmalade hidden inside. Whip them out of the freezer, pop them in a pre-heated oven and 25 minutes later you’ll have a gorgeous, melt-in-the-mouth soufflé.

Whether it’s a time-saving starter, a special main course or a spectacular pud, we can lend you a helping hand

in the kitchen so you can get on with the bits you enjoy most (even if it’s just a pre-dinner soak and a glass of bubbly...)

Langoustines with Garlic Butter & a Seaweed Crumb (2) 9.95 It is officially impossible to eat langoustines without using your fingers and getting wonderfully messy. So make sure you have napkins and a finger bowl to hand.Serve with a salad and some warm, crusty bread for a simple yet impressive start to a meal.

How we COOK: Beef WellingtonTo make our big Beef Wellington we take prime fillet of British beef, season with cracked black pepper and pan fry to seal. Chestnut and porcini mushrooms are chopped finely, mixed with port and herbs, and the duxelle spread on a crêpe (which stops the meat juices turning the pastry soggy). Our all-butter, puff pastry is brushed with French mustard before being wrapped around the beef. On top are three hand-cut pastry leaves.

1. The day before: put your COOK Pheasant Casserole in the fridge to

thaw.

2. One hour before you plan to serve

(or before your guests arrive) decant

the Pheasant Casserole into a big

pot on the hob.

3. Warm over a low heat for 45

minutes (or until the sauce begins

to bubble and the meat is piping hot

in the centre) stirring occasionally to

prevent sticking.

4. Serve in bowls with our Creamy

Mash or boiled new potatoes

(you can cook them in advance).

The intensely flavoured port wine jus can be served separately in a jug. Serve with our Creamy Mash or Dauphinoise Potatoes with green beans on the side.

NEW Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts, Sage & Red Onion V (2) 2.25 (4) 4.50 So it turns out that scoring a cross

in the bottom of Brussels sprouts

does absolutely nothing to help them

cook! Reeling from that bombshell,

we’re delighted not to be peeling or

scoring any Brussels this year. Instead,

we’ll be tucking into our very own

roughly chopped sprouts cooked with

chestnuts, sage and red onion. They’re

a lovely, vibrant green, with just enough

bite and a delicate flavour that might

even convert the odd, lifelong

sprout-o-phobe...

until the 16th century. For 4,000 years

previously we’d been perfectly happy

looks and tastes amazing.

Our DifferenceAt COOK we make remarkable food for your freezer,

prepared by hand at our Kitchen in Kent using the same ingredients and techniques you would at home.

It means our food looks and tastes homemade (maybe even a bit better). And on every COOK dish

you’ll find the name of the chef who prepared your food.
