You can make Christmas dinner wrong if you don’t have the right gravy. Jamie Oliver, a celebrity chef says so.
Television cook and 46-year-old chef, shared an interesting chart that shows how traditional British sauces made with meat juices or stock can differ.
This chart was shared by his Instagram followers of 8.7 million. It shows 12 gravy vessels, each with its own code. A1 is the lightest, perhaps more like a cup of tea, and D2 is the darkest.

Television chef urges people to prepare perfect gravy by this Saturday. He says that home chefs can save time and cut down on preparation time by freezing their gravy at least a week in advance.
Gravy-lovers were split on the color of best gravy. However, many chose a mid-brown, middle-of the road B3 hue.
A TV chef suggested that the weekend is the most ideal to prepare a delicious gravy. He said home-cooks could save time, and reduce stress for the big day.
He shared the #GetAheadGravyDay hashtag and wrote, “Which gravy?” Participate in Saturday, 11 December this weekend!!
“We will all be cooking the best gravy you can find, and then we’ll just put it in the freezer for later Christmas.
Oliver’s “get ahead gravy” recipe is easy to prepare and takes about two hours. It contains 10 chicken wings free of charge, 60ml port or sherry and two pieces of bacon smoked streaky.
Perfect color! A lot of people responded that B3 was the perfect looking gravy. It is a medium brown.
According to TV chef, gravy can be made well ahead but should still be added to the Thanksgiving tray by December 25th. This will ensure that it has tons of flavour.
The chef states that amateur chefs should not underestimate the importance of gravy in a Christmas meal.
“Good gravy can transform or save a meal,” he says. You can try something new this year: Make your gravy ahead of time and then reheat it on Thanksgiving. Stress, saved.’
Oliver recommends that you defrost a gravy you have actually made properly. This will make it taste better and also give you a boost of flavour on Christmas Day if you add the juices from your turkey.
