British Christmas recipes



Article & Recipes: Deep and crisp and even

Three sweet Christmas recipe from Nigel Slater: brandy snaps with cinnamon cream; mulled perry with pears and spices; brown sugar spice biscuits.

Perry is now sold as 'pear cider'. A wonderfully refreshing drink, even when warmed with sugar and spice. The smell as it fizzes on the stove is pure Christmas.

Gravlax & the Feast of Seven Fishes



Recipe: Lemon-Dill Gravlax

To make this Scandinavian specialty, you rub raw salmon with salt, dill, and other flavorings and cure it in the fridge. The process takes three days, at which point you’ll have smooth, silky cured salmon, which makes an impressive appetizer served with baguette toasts or black bread and a swirl of crème fraîche.


Article & Recipes: Feast of Seven Fishes

For these Italian chefs the Feast of Seven Fishes is the highlight of their culinary calendar, and they're happy to be sharing recipes, workspace, and later, lunch. The feast is a Christmas Eve tradition that has spread from southern Italy to Italian homes throughout the United States. Though theories abound on its origins, the feast probably derives from the centuries-old Catholic tradition of eating only fish on Fridays and certain holy days.
