As a passionate home cook, I always look forward to this time of year to experiment with new recipes and share culinary delights with my loved ones. This year, I’ve put together some of my favorite holiday recipes that will bring joy to your gatherings. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or looking for something new to try, these recipes are sure to impress!
Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Parmesan
Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish, but this version takes it up a notch by adding roasted garlic and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese. The result is a creamy, indulgent dish that complements any main course, from turkey to roast beef. Not only they are delicious, but they will impress your guest.
Classic Roast Turkey with Herb Butter
No holiday feast is complete without a perfectly roasted turkey. My go-to recipe involves a rich herb butter that’s rubbed generously under the skin, infusing the meat with incredible flavor and moisture.
Gingerbread cookies
These iconic holiday cookies are a must-have in my household. I love the warm spices and the festive shapes. To me there is no winter without the cookies. You can decorate them with royal icing or enjoy them plain—either way, they’re a perfect treat for sharing!
Cheesecake
This decadent dessert is the perfect way to end a holiday meal. Not only it is my favourite dessert, but there are various way of cooking it. You may also try the eggnog flavour. It’s creamy, decadent, and spiced just right with nutmeg and cinnamon. Perfect for those who want a showstopper dessert that will wow their guests!
