Heston Heston Blumenthal is one if the UK's leading celebrity chefs, but just how does he celebrate Christmas?

From tradition roast turkey with cranberry and carraway stuffing to the perfect roast potatoes, Heston has shared all his top festive tips with the Daily Mail.


Our favourite is his recipe for glazed carrots with thyme – mostly because it includes butter!


Ingredients:
750g carrots, peeled and sliced into thick, diagonal chunks
140g unsalted butter
2 tsp caster sugar
4 thyme sprigs, leaves only


Method:
1. Put the carrots and ­butter into a wide-­bottomed pan over a low heat; ­sprinkle over the sugar and some salt and pepper. Make sure the ­carrots form a single layer on the bottom of the pan.
2. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time to ensure even cooking. Add the thyme leaves and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes until tender and glazed.
