Did you know? Eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve is both a tradition and a superstition in Spain. The first 12 seconds of the Spaniards’ New Year are somewhat quieter and more intense than other cultures, as everyone focuses on eating all 12 of the “miraculous grapes” that symbolize 12 lucky months ahead. If you’re keen to experience this new year tradition, buy seedless green grapes and separate them into portions of 12, one set for each guest. Have fun! . . . #newyear2021 #newyearseve #grapes #spanishculture #newyeartradition #superstition #12grapes #foodculture #internationalcuisine #newyearcelebrations #foodie #food #fruit #greengrapes #thefeedfeed #thekitchn #food52grams (at Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbRljzFWar/?igshid=1tx0cqjvdq10u

Saluting Christmas with a classic Shepherd’s Pie. This dish is sometimes called cottage pie, that name is usually given to its beef counterpart. It is thought that peasant housewives invented the pies as a way of repackaging leftovers from the Sunday roast.

Sometimes, when you bite into a chocolate truffle, it might seem almost too sweet. What do you do when you want to balance that sweetness with something different? The trick is to introduce a small amount of lemony ingredients - from lemon cake crumbs, to lemon zest salt r/and limoncello — to your chocolate truffles. While elevating the taste of your chocolate truffles and giving it another dimension, you’re also adding a burst of flavour without overpowering the chocolate truffles. Celebrate the festive season with these deliciously easy no-bake limoncello dark truffles. Made with lemon cake, butter, dark chocolate and a splash of limoncello, then rolled in nuts, dessicated coconut and cocoa powder. Bring your experience to yet a higher level by pairing with a shot of limoncello! Do you have a favourite chocolate truffle recipe?

A much lighter, hassle-free fruitcake? Try this! We took a spin on the traditional Scottish Dundee cake by baking it into small muffins, then glazing it with sugar (instead of the usual almond topping)! Dundee cake is a tasty assortment of fruits and nuts, and is mostly relished as a light treat for Christmas celebrations - usually served with hot beverages like tea and coffee.

Baklava, for those uninitiated, is a Mediterranean dessert made by layering crisp sheets of filo pastry with nuts and cinnamon, soaked in a homemade syrup. In Greece, it is enjoyed as treat on special religious occasions such as Christmas. Traditionally made with thirty-three layers of dough which each layer representing one year of the life of Christ, this is an easy dessert to make and gift!

Christmas won’t be Christmas without a few decadent slices of fruitcake! 💡 Did you know? The history of fruitcake goes way back, all the way to Ancient Rome. Here are the top tips to baking your ideal cake: 👩‍🍳 Get creative! Do not feel absolutely bound by a recipe. If a recipe calls for particular amounts of currants and raisins, the same weight of a fruit mix may be used. Just keep in mind that the weight of fruit and nuts should be approximately the same as the original recipe. 🍷 Fruitcakes taste better with age! This process is called “ripening” and the fruits in the cake need alcohol to age properly. The duration is up to you, but we would suggest a minimum duration of 2 months. 🍰 Seal your fruit cake properly! Fruit cakes should only be exposed to air when they are being fed with alcohol, which should happen about once a week. We are big fans of @jamesmartinchef and @guardian columnist @felicitycloake fruitcake recipes. How about you?
