THE ITALIAN  STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOGRAPHED RECIPES FOR CHRISTMAS

In this area you can find both the recipes made in fact only for Christmas and the recipes made for celebrations or special days. Each picture is linked to the photographed recipe.

We have the most known recipes as the Pandoro of Verona, the Panettone of Milan and the crema of mascarpone. You can find also recipes typical of some areas as the Bisciola of Valtellina and Zelten of Trentino-alto-Adige. Other recipes as sea salad and lasagna are very popular for special celebration days, a typical celebration dish.

The recipes are proposed in order of arrival. The recipes are split into two pages: the ingredients table, with doses, cooking time and notes about ingredients and cooking techniques, linked to the text. The step-by-step explained and photographed recipe, with pictures of the finished dish and of each preparation step, is linked to the picture.
