Ray Winstone's washing no

Dec 23, 2008, 4:00 GMT

Ray Winstone cooks Christmas dinner - but refuses to wash up.

The 'Beowulf' actor enjoys preparing a festive feast for his family but hates cleaning the kitchen afterwards, much to the irritation of his wife Elaine.

When asked if he washes up, Ray - who has three daughters - said: "I'm not doing that. Cooking the turkey is manly thing to do. It's my special job. I like a big bird because then I get to make a turkey stew afterwards with sweetcorn and all that."

He also added he has a cavalier, but effective, approach to food preparation, developed while working away from his family.

Ray, 51, added: "I'm no chef, but I do cook a good joint. Never use a recipe book, just make it up as I go along. I'm away from home a hell of a lot and I've had to learn to cook. Otherwise I'd have to eat out every night, or get takeaways, and I don't want any of that. I make great stews and a good Italian Puttanesca."

Ray's next films, '44 Inch Chest' and 'The Devil's Tomb' are expected for release in the US in July next 2009.
