Over the years it has become a tradition that my dad and I prepare Christmas dinner. The preparations start with the 'Allerhande' and 'Delicious' magazines from Holland. Paging through them tot together a nice menu that will please everyone. This results in a long shopping list and a trip to the shops to find all the ingredients and to try and beat the crowds.
We invariably choose something that we have never prepared before and that might pose somewhat of a challenge. This year it was the 'kerststol' (Christmas bread filled with a type of marzepan), our lobster tails and the world famous (in Holland anyway) tiramisu cake!
We are very critical cooks but all of us agreed that everything turned out very nice!
The menu:
Grilled lobster tails
Thijs' famous yellow pepper soup
Italian style stuffed pork loin with potato gratin and green beans
Terrific tiramisu cake
