Inspiration for an unforgettable
Christmas dinner

Even though everything’s quite different this year, one thing remains certain: Christmas is the time you spend with your loved ones. To make this time even more special, we’ve got some great ideas and products that will help you create joyful moments and delicious dishes that everybody enjoys.

Easy and effortless cooking and baking

And make your preparations for a lovely Christmas dinner together easier than ever. Gathering with your family during the holidays doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the kitchen. You already take lots of time to decorate the Christmas tree and your home, to buy and wrap gifts, to organise the evening, so why spend so much time cooking and baking?

You can make an easy Christmas dinner menu with plenty of appetizers, show-stopping main dishes, and indulging desserts. It is super simple to conjure up a feast that everyone will enjoy, using fresh and healthy ingredients. Here is some inspiration with easy recipes to have your Christmas meal covered, giving you more time to relax and plan the best holiday ever.

Get cozy with a hot drink

Like a hug in a mug: the hearty Gingerbread Latte with Pecan Nut Milk and the Hot Winter Punch are perfect to get cozy at home when the temperatures drop outside. Make the drinks a day in advance using the slow juicer, then simply heat it up in the microwave. Serve it with Christmas biscuits, and enjoy it while opening presents.

Set the evening mood with a savoury starter

After enjoying the afternoon together, start the evening Christmas dinner with a traditional soup – featuring a modern twist. The Savoury Egg Custard with Crab is steamed easily in the Panasonic Steam Combi Oven. The soup’s warm colour conjures up a homely feel, and the flavour is the ideal complement to any main course.

Knock them off their Christmas stockings with the main course

The moment everyone has been waiting for – when the main course is served at the table. Traditional poultry is given a special Christmas flavour with the Roast Duck with Red Cabbage Salad and Couscous. Featuring five spices, orange, walnuts and more, the duck is quickly roasted in an hour in the Panasonic Combi Microwave Oven NN-CD87. This frees up your conventional oven for cooking other dishes.

Make sure they’ll be talking about your sides next year

This is where you can let your creativity loose and move away from the standard plain mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, etc. Instead, serve Garlic Herb Smashed Potatoes. They can be prepared the day before and then easily finished in less than 30 minutes in the Microwave. Delicious home-made bread always makes an amazing impression – like the Twisted Bread. To free up your time and effort, Croustina does the work of kneading the dough for you and taking care of the rising process.

Serve a dessert (or two) no one can resist

With so many options, it can be difficult choosing a dessert that everyone will be wowed by. But not with the Christmas Star Bread. It looks, smells and tastes just like Christmas – but without the hard work. Prepare it in advance and bake it when you are finished with the main course. That way, when you’re ready for a sweet closing to the feast, the house fills up with the delicious smell of gingerbread spice and a yeast dough baking in the Combi Microwave Oven.
