Probably the most impressive of our Holiday Foods included our dessert selection: four different types of macaroons, a traditional Italian Christmas dessert, and a pecan pie cheesecake. My brother made the cookies and the cheesecake. The four flavors of macaroons included: pomegranate with chocolate ganache, orange risotto, lemon, and peppermint.
We also cooked a second family meal of risotto with radicchio and blue cheese-recipe to come in the next few days. Santa was good to us this year and brought us lots of kitchen goodies: a food processor, egg poachers, a salad spinner, a pasta and ravioli maker, a loaf pan, and a crockpot cookbook. I sense many good recipes and blog entries to come! Happy Holidays.
Pasta and ravioli maker! I'm jealous. My primary Christmas presents this year were knife related... and I've already cut a (small) slice of my thumb off with my big new knife! Hope your presents are less physically abusive.
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, i have also cut a (small) slice of my middle finger on the food processor blade. oopsies! i guess we both need to be a bit more careful.
