Shopping on Christmas Eve

When I was a child, there was nothing as fun as going shopping with my father for my mother's gift on Christmas Eve Day. Invariably, we'd end up at the handbag or fine jewellery counter at Burdine's ('the Florida store').

Claude Bosi: my traditional British Christmas

Claude Bosi: my traditional British Christmas"Ilove it," Claude Bosi tells me. "It's just fantastic." We're drinking early-morning coffees in the understated dining room of Hibiscus, Bosi's two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Mayfair, and the 40-year-old chef is being effusive about the culinary joys of Christmas. What's curious is that he's not talking about the sophisticated gourmet traditions that bring families together during the festive period in his native Lyon, the great food capital of France. No, what Bosi has in mind is the common-or-garden British Christmas, with turkey and ham and all the trimmings, plum pudding and a big, boozy sherry trifle.
