Fancy a mince pie?
The answer is always yes for Will Torrent, 37, who eats around 1,000 of the festive treats every year.
That's along with his team of food experts - who start cooking and sampling festive foods in January on a quest to find the ultimate recipe.
Will's first experience in a professional kitchen was aged 15, shadowing Heston Blumenthal.
Since then, the Christmas chef has been perfecting mince pies at Waitrose & Partners for nearly 13 years, using AI to better understand what flavours people around the world are raving about.
