Yotam Ottolenghi’s Christmas dinner with Grace Dent

Our restaurant critic surprises him with a simple, tasty, traditional north of England recipe. Read his recipes and see more videos from Guardian Feast

When Grace says she always thought Yotam had handfuls of pomegranate seeds in his pocket that he just hurls about 😂

The gratin looks amazing. The chef has a lovely personality, so natural.

I find Grace Dent the epitome of elegance, she is statuesque, she conveys natural authority and grandeur. Love this kind of women !

Grace has such a sexi voice and the quality of her English is sublime ❤️

Yotam, Gotam? Tomatoe, Tomato. However they always show a camp person who proclaims his dishes are Middle Eastern but really stolen from India. Lets call the all thing off!

I always wondered what mutton dressed as lamb would be the personifaction of. I have today learnt it is Grace Dent!

Although I'm sure the food is very nice, Christmas should mean more than vile overindulgence!
