Christmas Recipes
from: Karlie BestlerThere are many different Christmas recipes that you can use at Christmas time. For most people who celebrate Christmas, the holiday season is characterized by gatherings of family and friends, feasting and giving gifts. Christmas would be incomplete without the mention of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, mistletoe, Christmas cards, cookies, puddings and other Christmas goodies.
Christmas recipes planning should be done with the precision and advance preparation of a military operation so that the cook will enjoy it too. All the extra items that are needed for Christmas recipes should be thought of well ahead of time. It is a good idea that you sit down and choose your Christmas recipes for the cake, puddings and meat, and then list all the ingredients that you will need for each of them. A good plan would be to start doing this in November.
At the beginning of December, decide on what meat you are going to buy and find out how much it will cost-at least this way you've made a start. Whether you are eating turkey or ham, any Christmas recipes just wouldn't be complete without all the trimmings.
Whether the Christmas recipes are designed to be eaten formally at the table or buffet style-try to focus on foods such as roasts or casseroles. These may take a while to cook, but won't need your constant attention in the kitchen. Whoever does the Christmas catering must also be able to enjoy themselves with everyone else, without having to spend too much time in the kitchen.
Buffets are a great way to manage feeding a crowd. Get as much done with your Christmas recipes as you can the day before-focus on foods that can be eaten at room temperature it will save you a lot of time and work. Cover the food and remove it just before people go up to eat. When your guests walk through the door on Christmas day let the smells of all those Christmas recipes hit them as soon as they step through your door. Keep a pot of mulled apple cider on the stove so the first thing that you can smell is a delightful mixture of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
Make extra large batches of items like spiced nuts, salad dressing or gingerbread in advance. The Christmas cake and most puddings should be made a month beforehand. If you're not sure what to give them for dessert-solve the dilemma by asking your guests to bring a batch of their favorite Christmas deserts. Your guests can then show off their best Christmas recipes and everyone will enjoy the variety.
