For smaller Christmas gatherings, capons – neutered roosters – becomes the natural choice. Larger, juicier and with more breast meat than chickens, they are also very forgiving when left unattended while roasting. I typically serve a simple soup first, three side dishes and an easy dessert such as caramelized apples with ice cream to leave room for all the Christmas cake, cookies, fruit and chocolate.
