Kerridge and Rashford unite for recipe

MARLOW: Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has teamed up with a Premier League footballer to help fight food poverty during the festive season.

Kerridge, who owns three pubs in Marlow, has enlisted the help of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to create a Christmas dinner for up to six people – at a cost of just £10.

The England international set Kerridge the challenge of creating the meal to help families on a budget.

Included in the recipe is a turkey roll with stuffing and vegetables – as well as a Boxing Day potato and carrot hash with fried eggs.

These two dishes hope to ensure a family of up to six can enjoy a festive dinner and another meal after the big day for less than a tenner.

The two meals come in at less than £10 with a Healthy Start voucher – a Government scheme which offers help in buying healthy goods.

Kerridge said: “Christmas can be such a hard time for many families, Marcus and I wanted to create something that might help bring a little bit of cheer to those who are finding it difficult.”
