Frankie Dettori's Rolled Turkey
Phil says: “Frankie is a mate – he rang me up one Christmas Day and said: ‘Pheel – owd dya cooka the sauce for the turkey?’ He meant the gravy, of course! We first met on the set of Ready Steady Cook - he always knows what he wants and he knows how to cook it. Frankie loves classical Italian food – and I love the way he is so very family orientated in his cooking. This recipe is definitely very grown up, though.”
