Win! We’re giving away 3 copies of the new cookbook ‘Kerstbijbel’
Christmas. For most people, it’s a lovely time of togetherness and delicious food. But goodness, that last part can also be incredibly stressful. Because what on earth are you supposed to cook? In Kerstbijbel by Julius Jaspers, you’ll find the answer. You can choose from more than 200 recipes for the holiday season, from classics to showstoppers. Read on to find out how you can win the ultimate guide to a stress-free Christmas!
Festive potato towers, a Russian salad, and how about a festive frikandel with langoustine mayonnaise and caviar? In Kerstbijbel, Julius Jaspers shares all his greatest hits for a delicious Christmas. A book he spent three years creating. But it had to be nothing less than a bible. And he has succeeded remarkably well.
We should also mention that Julius is an incredible Christmas enthusiast. Julius: ‘Traditions, I love it, and I can’t start early enough. The (in-laws) family often laughs themselves silly when I start sending the first messages in early June asking “what’s the plan this year?” and “who’s making what?”, while I’m always happy to take charge of the culinary side; you’re either a chef or you’re not.’
From amuse-bouche to dessert
But the best part is that, with this Kerstbijbel, you too can be a top chef! From amuse-bouche (make the aforementioned frikandel, for example) to dessert and everything in between; there’s plenty to choose from. And with Julius’ do’s & don’ts, you’ll also know which mistakes are best avoided when cooking for Christmas. ‘Don’t be tempted to taste the wine in advance. My kitchen is an alcohol-free zone until I’m completely finished,’ is a great tip. Just like checking beforehand whether there are any allergies or exceptions (vegetarian, no fish, et cetera). ‘A small effort if you know in advance, but a lot of stress if the information comes at the last minute.’
Handy how-tos
Besides the delicious recipes and do’s & don’ts, Julius also shares useful how-to’s. How to portion a whole chicken, how to butterfly and stuff a turkey, how to finish a sauce with butter or cream, and how to make chocolate curls; it’s all explained with helpful step-by-step photos.
