Typical Christmas and Epiphany Desserts

Did you know that the origin of the Yule log and ‘Roscón de Reyes’ (Three Kings Cake) is so far removed that it actually has little to do with Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and the Adoration of the Kings?

The oldest Christmas dessert: the Yule log

With its roots in France, a few years ago we began to see it on tables all over Europe. But why a log? The origin of this cake is the pagan celebration of the winter solstice, with its ‘Fire Festival’ in which the pre-Christian families got a large log and burned it slowly in their homes during the three days of the festival. The burning of the log and the rituals surrounding it predicted whether the coming year would bring good or bad luck. The coming of Christianity, initially, and then industrialisation a few centuries later, reduced this atavistic ritual to a symbolic dessert in the form of a log, which is eaten on Christmas Eve or Day.

HOLIDAY MENUS FOR DELIVERY

We could say that, apart from being a religious event, the Christmas holidays are a gastronomic and social time. It’s the season when many of us organise numerous get togethers: eating with family, friends, colleagues, the yoga group, etc. Who cooks? What’s the menu? At whose? Shall we go to the restaurant? Shall we get a take away?

Butchers, restaurants and take away places see how year after year their Christmas campaigns get more and more intense, since consumers increasingly choose to buy a take away meal or a menu delivery to eat at home.

Ideas to decorate the christmas table

If your restaurant is chosen to celebrate christmas in, it’s not a coincidence… It’s not only about offering an attractive menu, but also creating the ideal atmosphere so that the experience is enjoyable and festive for all.

It’s not necessary to invest a lot in adapting the decoration of your place; with a little creativity, you can create different atmospheres with strategically thought small details.
