"Reassuringly, it turns out that even the most decorated chefs love a Ferrero Rocher, a nice glass of sherry, a good mince pie and a decent cheeseboard at this time of year. And everyone is attached to their own traditions, whether that's the apple tart Matthew Ryle's family loves in place of Christmas pudding, the hot chocolate-and marshmallow kit Yotam Ottolenghi's kids can never resist, or Sabrina Ghayour's favourite truffle-infused cheddar."
"Today, if Locatelli is asked to bring food to a Christmas gathering, he takes salmon made by the Smokin' Brothers (8.90, smokin-brothers.com). It is unbelievably good the three brothers are very careful about sourcing quality fish. He likes to serve it with Russian salad. In Italy, smoked salmon without Russian salad wasn't Christmas. His base ingredients are always cooked potatoes, peas and carrots dressed in mayo."
Sixteen top chefs and cooks pick items to bring to Christmas gatherings. Many choose familiar, indulgent items such as Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a glass of sherry, mince pies and assorted cheeses for cheeseboards. Personal traditions include Matthew Ryle's family's apple tart, Yotam Ottolenghi's children's hot-chocolate-and-marshmallow kit and Sabrina Ghayour's truffle-infused cheddar. Giorgio Locatelli favors smoked salmon from the Smokin' Brothers served with a Russian salad of cooked potatoes, peas, carrots and mayo, often with drained diced gherkins and a bottle of his own olive oil.
