Hello Everyone!! First of all I wish you all a great christmas season, lots of shopping and chocolate (If you are allergic, I feel really bad for you, I hope you get to eat cookies or other x-mas food)- I have a really important question. Well as you can see Im 14 and for christmas this year, my present will be cooking the christmas Dinner. Any good tipps on what to cook? It should take a maximum of 4 hours and I have to be careful, because my Grandpa has diabetes and my Gransparents in general don't like spicey or Japanese food. I'm hoping to get a good tipp on what I should cook. Thanks to all and I wish you the best of luck! :icon_bigg
Duck could be good. The only bad thing is that it is expensive depending on your location. Pork with apples is a good idea too. Pork works well with sweet tastes.
I'd suggest red cabbage with dumplings. Fast and easy to make, and most people like it. Red cabbage cooked for twenty minutes with addition of onions and butter is delicious. Dumplings can be filled with slightly roasted bread and are also easy to make. Further dishes and a further sauce to taste. As vegetarian, red cabbage and dumplings, and a green salad suffice. I can tell that duck goes well with it, the non vegetarians liked it. If you want to go vegetarian, you might give pattys a try. They are made with oatmeal and really taste like non vegetarian. ---------- Post added 5th Dec 2014 at 02:57 PM ---------- There are ready vegetable patty mixtures available, or you can make them yourself. Just putting in all the ingredients, cooking it, forming balls and frying it in a pan.
Dressing with frozen bread (the best) and poultry seasoning. Cranberries, not from a can. Turkey (of course). Hashbrown Casserole with the chunky hashbrowns, not the shaved ones (if you want I can give you an awesomely delicious recipe) and some sort of salad. Probably cesar.
A goose with chestnut and sausage stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, creamed onions, a mash of potatoes and parsnips, peas, and a plum pudding with hard sauce. Extras would be some Stilton, pecans, raw oysters, shrimp cocktail, some good chocolates. Goose gravy is the best laced with sherry is silken and sinful.
