Recipe Ideas for Christmas Menu

Welcome to my table and here are more than 30 recipe ideas for Christmas menu. Recipes to discover or rediscover!
A few weeks ago, I sent a preview newsletter to my subscribers to introduce them to my favorite French Christmas recipes. As I know this one was very appreciated, here is a little summary for those latecomers lacking inspiration.
I hope you will find what you are looking for in this selection of recipes for the end of year celebrations! I think this year, more than anything, we really need these culinary pleasures!
And don’t hesitate to leave me a little comment to tell me what recipes you are going to make for your holiday menus, whether they are on my blog or elsewhere, or if you have any questions or if you test a recipe and like it. That’s going to make me happy! … 😉
