Their second dish takes inspiration from one of York's most notorious residents, Guy Fawkes. Gunpowder Lamb is a spicy, slow-roasted lamb wrap served with a fiery carrot, coriander, chilli and red pepper salad. As York is also famous for its connection with Vikings, for their third and final dish, Tom and Henry come up with the idea of Viking flatbreads - a spelt pizza-like base topped with red onion, sorrel, curd cheese and delicate marjoram oil baked in the oven.

They show how to cook your own presents as well as serving up classic cocktails with a twist; tasty Christmas crackers you can eat; whisky-smoked salmon; the ultimate Christmas morning breakfast; and a 'medicinal' hangover cure to top all hangover cures. And their alternative to a roast turkey dinner is the most indulgent Christmas bbq ever - luscious lobster with a garlic brandy butter and home-made venison kebabs washed down with spicy mulled cider, all served outside under the stars.
