    I watched Gordon's Ultimate Christmas show and my husband and I both want to know if these will ever be made into DVDs We would scoop them up in a heartbeat...We loved the show :)

    Hi Patty and Bryce,

    It is funny you should ask about these episodes being made into DVDs. I have been waiting for a long time for it to come out and it finally has. Scroll up to the top and check out the section titled "Buy Gordon Ramsay Ultimate Christmas DVD". I cannot wait until my copy comes in.

    Hope this helps you out :)

    Ah! At last, Brussel Sprouts that taste like good food! (My sister prefers hers from the oven.) However, if you are prone to flatulence, I recommend you substitute some other nut for the chestnuts. Macadamia, pine, almonds might make suitable subs!

    We tried to mimic this meal for our New Years Eve and I have to say - It was amazing!!
    Hating brussel sprouts all our lives, not only does me and my husband now love brussel sprouts, so do our children!! The turkey was incredibly moist and the gravy outstanding.
    Thanks so much for sharing the recipies. It was a fantastic way to celebrate the new year!!!

    I loved the brussel sprouts. Everyone did. Who knew this vegetable could taste this magical? Hope to hear more from Chef Ramsay
  • Mario BROGAN ....fae Glesga Toon Dec 25, 2011 @ 8:10 pm | delete
    Tried the Turkey, the stuffing, the roast potatoes and the brussel sprouts and the gravy....all was pure magic even though I would have prefered turkey a little bit warmer. Nothing than cant be ajusted second time round. Turkey and Gravy ar a little elaborate yet simple top carry out once you line up all ingredients. Many thanks to the great Gordon who has done our Country proud.
  • David L. Mohn Dec 24, 2011 @ 8:23 am | delete
    GREAT stuff! Much thanks. Only one question...How long are brussel sprouts supposed to be cooked until they've only got 3 minutes left??? I'm really looking forward to some brussel sprouts that taste good, not to mention, great!

    question w/ the pumpkin soup... do you roast/bake the pumpkins open side up or open side down????
  • brandonmotz Dec 22, 2011 @ 4:18 pm | delete
    Hi there, I personally roast my seed whole. Simply rinse them off after removing the pumpkin. Toss them in a sieve and shake the excess water off. Place in a bowl, add your seasoning, place on a flat baking pan at 350F until they are to your liking.

    Hope this helps :)

  • Mary Kranenburg Dec 12, 2011 @ 3:17 pm | delete
    The 2 part show was fantastic. I am going to try some of these this year. Getting away from stuffing the bird with the usual ..bread etc. The food looked and, as I can only imagine, must have smelled and tasted incredible.

    Thank you to all of the people that made this site accessible. Will Chef Ramsey be producing a book of Christmas fare?? I will be first in line to purchase!!!!

    Made this turkey last year and it was the best turkey by miles. The breast meat was juicy for over 7 days after cooking. Getting ready to cook another one for today and know it will be awesome again. Many kudos to Chef Ramsay and those who put this page together. Like Tim in Vegas said, this recipe was the hit of the holidays and made me the Rock Star! C'mon - when does bacon EVER hurt a dish???

    One more thing... Whoever put together the gravy recipe forgot to include a step for the Chicken Stock. I reviewed the video and it gets added right near the start.
  • Tim in Las Vegas Dec 25, 2010 @ 5:48 pm | delete
    This was the best turkey EVER! Made me a rock star in our house as even the kids that typically don't care for turkey were hovering around at just the smell of it cooking. All of us ate our fill and it was delicious! The gravy was incredible as well. Chef Ramsey if you ever read this, thank you a hundred times over!
  • Susie Dec 25, 2010 @ 12:17 pm | delete
    Hi there, saw the tv program and got my tastebuds going so I have tried a goose this year (suggested by my butcher) it is ready and im on to the trimmings. The recipes are easy to follow and delish! Good luck Annabella trying to find the ham, yes here in Florida everything is prepacked.......How i miss England ............ Thanks to Gordon Ramsay for
    sharing with mere mortals like me . Happy Christmas to All :)
  • Laurin C. Dec 25, 2010 @ 11:38 am | delete
    I tried the mint truffles recipe but it will not firm up enough to form into balls. Possibly because the closest thing we have to double cream in the states is heavy whipping cream. Is there anything I can add to thicken it up?
  • amhitran Dec 24, 2010 @ 8:34 pm | delete
    thank you so much!
  • Annabella Dec 24, 2010 @ 2:47 pm | delete
    Hello All....Saw Ramsey's Christmas special - everyting lovely...wanted to do the ham but in the states its har to find uncooked boned ham unless you order from a special butcher. Think I found one for next year. So I am cooked the Turkey and 2.5 hours in its already scrumptous. Thanks for the video always helps....
    Merry Christmas !!!!
  • cara mandart Dec 24, 2010 @ 11:17 am | delete
    yes roadt them first but add at the end so they dont get too soft (he said something like that in the show i recall) they have to be well cooked or you can get sick from undercooked chestnuts.
  • Carol G. Dec 24, 2010 @ 8:50 am | delete
    I will be trying the recipe for Gordon's Christmas Turkey as well as his gravy. Since I have been watching several of Gordons TV programs my cooking as taken a giant leap forward !!! I thank you Gordon, and from all who eat my, now, great cooking !!!

    Yay!!! This is so awesome. I can't wait to cook my Christmas dinner Gordon style. My Christmas present from my husband is a set of Copper Pots and Pans. So I'm very excited about this. Thanks so much for everyone who made these recipes available.

    PS. Not to sound greedy.............we will be getting the Episode 2 recipes?
  • paula good Dec 22, 2010 @ 3:12 am | delete
    Hey Gordon,I watched your show.I Love the poached salmon and pumpkin.I wish that you would not rely on parmesan so much.There is really no need and in fact it's not a great flavour.Very salty and so much fat.Who can taste the mushroom and pumpkin with that cheese?One other thing.Cut the eggs in the shortbread.That's wrong.It has to be made by hand not in a mixer with flour,sugar and butter with a bit of salt. and be pressed into a flan tin.Not rolled.

    Love that Gordy - - great to see him with his Ma and bairns too! I keep telling my US friends he's really NOT that rude -- it's all hype for TV. This type of program shows him at his best! And the recipes are wonderful.
  • Ramsay Fan Dec 24, 2010 @ 2:56 pm | delete
    I don't think Gordy is rude....People here in the states are too politically full of themselves and too superficial. If you can't stand the kitchen....and he always give good direct criticisim, flavored with a bit of Ramsay Flare and Fire.....The cursing only makes it better.... I absolutely love him as he is!!!
    But great to see him with his mum and kids... :)

    i think i found the recipe for the turkey @ this site. can anyone verify that it is the correct one?
  • brandonmotz Dec 18, 2010 @ 10:15 pm | delete
    Thank you EM. Although I am unsure if that is the turkey recipe that was featured, I would be willing to bet money that it is. Christmas with Gordon is the British version of Ultimate Christmas and it seems to have the other same recipes such as the truffles.

    Thank you very much my friend. If you would like a little more credit than EM on the recipe just send me a note here of through my profile page.

    Well we are finally starting to get somewhere I think. Keep up the great work everyone. We will get these recipes before Christmas. :)

    Hi Frank, thanks for stopping by.

    I am still looking to watch this, but nobody seems to have made it available online. I really do not understand why they are being so strict on the regions.

    If I can find a place to watch it, I will make the address available here.

    Hi
    I was wanting the potato recipe on last Fridays Gordon Ramsays Ultimate Christmas programme have looked everywhere, hopefully someone wrote it down.
  • brandonmotz Dec 16, 2010 @ 6:32 pm | delete
    I am so sorry to all the people who came here expecting to find the recipes. The show was aired on BBC America and I do not get that channel in my area. Trying to find it online is turning out to be a challenge.

    If you happened to write down the recipes and would like to share them here please feel free. I will add them in to a recipe like the chocolate mint truffles and add your name at the bottom (If you want it there that is). This way you will get credit every time someone prints the recipe.

    If I can locate the recipe for the wonderful looking stuffing I will certainly make. Even my husband watched the show and got a desire to try it.
