Christmas is finally here! The candles on the Christmas tree cast a cozy glow, the presents are ready (or already unwrapped), the whole family is together.

That's why at idee für mich you'll find recipes for Christmas that always succeed and of course taste delicious! Our motto: You don't need a star chef to make a delicious Christmas dinner!

Recipes for Christmas: Goose or not at all

The Christmas goose is of course a classic. Whether as a leg or as a whole bird with a delicious stuffing - the goose embodies Christmas like no other meal. It comes with red cabbage and dumplings, or alternatively Brussels sprouts and boiled potatoes. Whatever your preference, goose is the number one Christmas recipe!

However, duck follows close behind - also usually accompanied by red cabbage and dumplings. But turkey, game and lamb also have their fans at Christmas. Carp, once a popular guest on Christmas and New Year's Eve tables, has gone somewhat out of fashion. No reason not to rediscover it! Speaking of the past: when things needed to be quick and uncomplicated, potato salad with sausages was a real Christmas Eve hit!

Fondue or raclette are uncomplicated and very sociable - this New Year's Eve hit is also finding more and more fans over the festive period.
