Hearing about other people’s traditions is often interesting. When my wife and I got married we decided to start a Christmas Eve tradition where we’d pick a country and plan out a dinner consisting of items from it. We’re making sure we’ve got the necessary ingredients for this year’s meal and it brought to mind how comforting and fun family traditions can be.

So what does your family do this time of year (or any time of the year) that you look forward to and helps make the holiday feel like the holiday for you?

      I often prepare newer-ish dishes but always filling that template that I mentioned above. We (wife and I) love trying new dishes and that is part of why we do a new country every year. Often the result is “Huh…” and we enjoy the experience even if the dish isn’t a new favorite but every once in a while we stumble across something that ends up joining our repertoire.

      This year I’m going to tweak Ur’s palace cake to serve it as dessert alongside the tiramisù, my sister loves those cheese-based sweets. That sounds interesting. If you are a fan of historical recipes (and this isn’t just a one off) I can’t recommend Tasting History enough.
