Christmas Eve - fancy charcuterie board, caviar and blinis, carmelised onion dip.

Christmas Day- duck, scalloped potatoes, roasted apples and cabbage, green salad, buche de Noel

Can't say I'm looking forward to it as I've lost my taste for beef in recent years, but it is the tradition. I do still love the plum pudding, however. If I had my way I'd keep the plum pudding and do a roast leg of lamb or pork.


What’s your crispy English potato recipe?


NP but Emily Blunt’s recipe is good. You can look up the video of her making it with Ina Garten.

Still discussing Christmas Eve, but right now I’m thinking:
duck
roasted Brussels sprouts
mashed potatoes
Key Lime Cake & gingerbread

On Christmas Day, we always do fondue

Please, where do you find duck fat?


BBQ stores sell duck fat cooking spray


You cannot get crispy roasted potatoes with spray. Go to Whole Foods and get the jar of duck fat.

Filet mignon probably with a mustard thyme sauce
Homemade Spaetzle with butter
Caprese salad
Green salad

Dessert will be either individual trifles or chocolate lava cakes

Breakfast is always coffee cake

Gougeres and shrimp cocktail for apps

Dinner
Beef wellington (individual ones from Silver Palate - so much easier than managing one piece)
Roasted brussels sprouts with bacon
Mashed potatoes
Green salad

We're not huge dessert people so will let the kids get into the massive accumulation of cookies and treats in the pantry

These menus all sound so delicious. I grew up in a house where Christmas dinner was pretty much a repeat of Thanksgiving, so I am enjoying reading all the alternatives and plan to adopt some next year.

Assuming no In-laws plan to come, we’ll have salmon , sautéed spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, and I may try making yeast rolls .
