The hard part of Christmas dinner isn't the cooking — it's that everything has to be hot, rested, and ready at the same moment. Tell Nova your numbers and your plan, and get a menu plus a step-by-step timeline that works backwards from the minute you sit down. One free plan every day — no sign-up, no card.
That's Nova Buddy AI: free to chat every day, with your own AI avatar on Buddy Plus ($4.99/month).
Try Nova freePick the moment you want to sit down, then walk the clock backwards. The turkey needs resting time, the oven fits one big thing at a time, and gravy happens in the last ten minutes no matter what the plan says. A timeline built backwards — like the one Nova makes you — turns the day from a scramble into a checklist.
About 500 g (roughly 1 lb) of whole bird per adult if you want leftovers — and you want leftovers. A 6–7 kg turkey happily feeds 8–10 people with a Boxing Day encore.
Build the sides so most of them are safe for everyone (roast veg, potatoes done simply), then add one special dish per need instead of duplicating the whole menu. Nova's planner flags which dish is safe for which guest.
They will, a little — every year, everyone's. Put out something to nibble, keep the timeline where you can see it, and remember your guests came for the company. Dinner at 5:40 tastes exactly as good.
