EP28 - Have yourself a very Tuscan Christmas!

How would I describe my ideal Christmas? Which are the first words that come to my mind when I think about Christmas?This year, I would pick humble. Humble as the unassuming log that the head of the family would put in the fireplace at Christmas Eve. It would burn slowly, the embers glowing in the dark, until the next day, or sometimes until the new year. Therefore, my ideal Christmas would be also deeply connected to winter and to Nature.I’m also sharing some seasonal Tuscan recipes for a homemade, genuine Christmas feast.The recipes we mentioned in this episode:- Chicken liver crostini: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/chicken-liver-crostini- Tuscan spleen crostini: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/spleen-crostini- Potato tortelli: https://en.julskitchen.com/seasonal/winter/potato-and-pecorino-tortelli-with-my-family- My Tuscan ragù: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/my-tuscan-ragu- Ricotta ravioli: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/how-to-make-ricotta-ravioli- Cocoa cappellacci: https://en.julskitchen.com/seasonal/winter/cocoa-cappellacci-butternut-squash- Grandma’s lasagne: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/grandmas-lasagne- Stuffed pork loin: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/stuffed-pork-loin- Stewed wild boar: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/stewed-wild-boar- Spinach flan: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/spinach-flan- Artichoke flan: https://en.julskitchen.com/side/christmas-side-dishes- Cardoon flan: https://en.julskitchen.com/side/cardoon-flan- Panforte: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/tuscan-panforte-a-spicy-cake-from-siena- Ricciarelli: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/ricciarelli-siena-almond-cookies- Cavallucci: https://en.julskitchen.com/tuscany/cavallucci-typical-tuscan-christmas-cookies- Christmas cake: https://en.julskitchen.com/seasonal/winter/jamie-olivers-christmas-cake - Yule log: https://en.julskitchen.com/seasonal/winter/yule-log Find me online at www.julskitchen.com or on Instagram https://instagram.com/julskitchen/ Join our Facebook Group Cooking with Juls’ Kitchen: https://www.facebook.com/groups/775325049335625/Podcast realized by https://instagram.com/tommyonweb This is a public episode.
