Instead, she will use her battery of air fryers to cook a sugar and rum-glazed gammon plus salmon with satsuma, chilli and parsley.
Dessert will be caramelised fruit — and she’ll knock up some scones.
The author of the Everyday Air Fryer Cookbook insists the meal will be cooked 20 minutes faster, as well as using less electricity.

She said: “You put in one teaspoon of oil and they are delicious.
They are 30 minutes instead of an hour.”
She will prepare her gammon on Boxing Day and soak it in cold water for three hours before cooking.
Gammon joints take just 15 minutes per 450g in the air fryer.

Beverley will cook the a 500g salmon fillet by blotting it dry and putting it in with the juice of a satsuma, parsley, one chopped chilli and 15g of butter.
She said: “That cooks in 17 minutes. It’s 40 minutes in the oven.”
For dessert Beverley will be making caramelised fruit - with nectarines, pears and plums.
She also plans to make some cheese scones - which take just 15 minutes.
