The end of year festivities are coming up, Christmas is almost here! Still looking for recipes for dinner? Don’t panic! I offer you a selection of Christmas recipes to delight your taste buds and impress your guests with 100% homemade dishes! Tarama, foie gras, Christmas logs, I give you all my secrets for an exceptional meal.

The end of the year is a magical time to get together with your family and enjoy a good meal. Originally, this holiday represents the birth of Jesus in the Catholic religion. Protestants adopt the tree as a symbol of Adam and Eve’s paradise and the Christmas gifts are a symbolic representation of the offerings brought by the Three Kings. From now on, and for our greatest happiness, this party has become widely democratized. December 25 in France is a holiday and many families gather to celebrate the end of the year with a big tree and gifts for young and old. I’ve been a fan of this holiday myself for as long as I can remember, and it’s time for me to cook with my mom. It’s a real Proust’s madeleine!

Sometimes it’s hard to find a Christmas menu that will suit everyone’s tastes and that is always more creative than last year’s menu. In this article, I suggest a multitude of recipes, tested and approved by me, that will help you compose the perfect meal to celebrate the festivities.

Whether you’re looking for simple and easy recipes or if you prefer more fancy dishes, I’ve got just the thing for you!
