encoded: With the festive entertaining season in full flow, there’s no better crowd-pleasing centrepiece than a gloriously gooey baked camembert. Luxuriously melty and irresistibly rich, this soft French cheese transforms into pure indulgence with just a little heat. It's perfect for dipping into with vegetable crudités, breadsticks and slices of sourdough toast, so why not put together the perfect sharing platter around our classic baked camembert recipe and complete with a range of delicious toppings. If you want something a bit more fancy, then try our 12 irresistible twists below, including a festive brioche version and bacon-wrapped breadsticks ready for dunking. For more festive inspiration, check out our Christmas canapé recipe collection, best recipes with brie, cheeseboards and sharing platters. If you can't get enough cheesy goodness, see our most indulgent recipes with cheese and 10 twists on macaroni cheese. 1. Truffle & wild mushroom camembert This chunky, savoury creation is as rich as it sounds. The wild mushrooms lend a wonderful umami flavour we find irresistible. To make, put a whole camembert on a baking sheet in its box. Make 3-4 slits and drizzle over some truffle oil. Bake until the cheese is oozing and top with cooked wild mushrooms and garlic. For more umami goodness, serve alongside our mushroom pâté. 2. Candied bacon & pickled chestnuts Brush streaky bacon on both sides with maple syrup, grill until just cooked, then roughly chop. Put chopped cooked chestnuts in a small bowl with a little sherry vinegar for 2 mins until lightly pickled. Make 3-4 slits in the top of a whole camembert and scatter over the bacon and chestnuts. Cook until the cheese is melting. Try more of our chestnut recipes here. 3. Antipasti Try an Italian twist. Make a few slits in the top of a whole camembert. Finely chop some capers and olives and sit on top of the cheese. Dot with a small handful of sundried tomatoes and bake until the cheese is melting. Discover our antipasti p…

encoded: If you're into your fitness, you've probably heard of creatine. It's naturally found in the body, and in foods like meat and fish. It helps regenerate ATP, the molecule that powers high-intensity physical activity. For those engaged in sports or resistance training, creatine can improve performance, boost recovery and support strength development. The effects of creatine have been extensively researched and while athletes often use it to enhance muscle growth or endurance, it’s also beneficial for general energy metabolism. Available in powders, capsules and tablets, creatine monohydrate is the most studied and cost-effective form. Innovations like capsules and micronised powders offer added convenience. A daily dose of 3-5 grams is sufficient for most users. Pairing creatine with carbs or protein can enhance absorption, though timing relative to workouts remains debated. Affordable, safe and effective, creatine is a staple in sports nutrition (it's the only one allowed in competitive sport). Whether you're an athlete or casual gym-goer, it’s a brilliant way to elevate performance and recovery. Sponsored by Natures Zest Elevate your performance with Natures Zest Creatine is one of the most researched supplements for supporting energy, strength and endurance. Natures Zest offers creatine with complementary formulas to help you get the most from your workouts, all crafted to premium standards and backed by rigorous third-party testing.

As the new series of I’m A Celebrity starts, what are the most unusual delicacies the Good Food team have ever eaten?

description: The Good Food team will rarely turn down a gastronomic dish of interest. Find out what the team ate on their holidays…
encoded: What makes a food a delicacy in one culture yet meets firm refusal from others? In Britain, we can be pretty squeamish around a lot of foods happily eaten elsewhere on the globe. And it’s not always entirely rational. Why, for instance, would we happily eat cows, pigs and sheep, but not horses? You’ll find rabbit on restaurant menus, but not guinea pigs. And why do we eat crabs and clams but snails are rarely on offer? Offal is another example. Liver has fallen out of fashion as a ‘cook at home’ meat, but steak and kidney pies are still relatively popular and viewed as a bit of a British classic. However, when have you ever seen heart or brains on a pub menu? Yet, across the rest of Europe, it’s frequently found in local restaurants. Take andouillette from Lyon, eastern France: a sausage made from slow-cooked, seasoned pork intestines, well known for its aroma of, well, pork intestines. Tete de veau, from the same region, literally translates as veal’s head. Oreja a la plancha, meanwhile, is ‘grilled ear’ – usually pigs’ – popular in Madrid. According to Fuchsia Dunlop, a food writer who specialises in Chinese cuisine, one of the main barriers to foreigners enjoying traditional Chinese dishes is a lack of appreciation of the different textures that the Chinese tend to love: “The slimy, slithery, bouncy and rubbery; the wet crispness of gristle; the brisk snappiness of goose intestines; the sticky voluptuousness of that reconstituted dried sea cucumber.” She has a point; how did reading that sentence make you feel? And yet we are delighted with the aroma and flavour of blue cheese, the texture of wobbly nursery puddings like jelly and custard, and chewy, confrontationally flavoured sweets. We also celebrate ‘nose to tail’ eating, eschewing food waste, but how many of us actually live this ideal? The animals (or their parts) chosen for the Bushtucker Trials on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here are based around this idea of alien textures, creatures we’re stereotypica…

description: Learn how to carve a turkey for your Christmas dinner guests. There are two methods for carving turkey breast that you can apply to a turkey crown as well
encoded: Every year, families across the country choose a roast turkey as their centerpiece on Christmas day. Although a traditional dish during the festive season, turkey isn't as popular as chicken or beef for roast dinners, so those cooking the bird are left wondering how long they should cook it for and how much they will need to serve their family and friends. No need to fret – the Good Food team has you covered, starting with this guide on how to prepare and carve a turkey. Read our guide below on how to prepare and carve a turkey before checking out our other useful turkey information, such as how to baste a turkey, how to brine a turkey and how to defrost a turkey. How to prepare a turkey Once you’ve chosen the perfect turkey recipe for Christmas Day, it’s important to keep the bird moist during cooking. An easy way to do this is to insert butter and rashers of bacon underneath the skin – here’s how in three easy steps: 1. Spread the butter under the skin Carefully push your hand between the turkey breast and the skin to create a pocket. Spread the butter under the skin. 2. Add the bacon Arrange the bacon in two rectangles of six overlapping rashers, then carefully push these under the skin. 3. Lie the bacon flat Feed all the bacon under the skin to lie flat and cover the breast, then smooth the skin back over. Now you’re ready to roast your turkey according to your chosen recipe. Our foolproof turkey guide should help you with timings, and you can print off our Christmas time plan to make scheduling the rest of dinner a breeze.
