Start with the breast of the turkey, hold the book firmly and open each page so that the gold leaves don’t all slip out, then open each page gently and press the gold from the booklet straight onto the turkey. Use a dry brush to dab it into place if you need to, around legs and crevices. It may take a couple of goes to get right, keep going until you’ve covered the whole surface.

Diwali, also known as the ‘Festival of Lights’, was celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains around the world on 11 November. Diwali has significance to all three religious groups, making it the most widely celebrated festival in the Indian diaspora. The day is believed to mark new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil, with the word Diwali, or Deepavali, meaning ‘row of lamps’ in Sanskrit.

Diwali also represents a renewal of commitment to family values, with many gathering with friends and loved ones to celebrate the festival. As Indians make up the largest foreign-born population in the UK, it is no surprise that Diwali was celebrated in huge numbers around the country, with many Indians and non-Indians alike participating in the festivities.
