The One and I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so we got up early to make a video. Why we didn’t think to do this last week, when we weren’t rushed, I’ll never know. But at least you can see the snowfall through the windows on this white Christmas.
And if you’re curious as to the recipes we’re making for our Christmas dinner, here they are:
Gougeres
Beef Wellington
Braised Carrots with Orange and Rosemary
Old-Fashioned Potato Gratin
Hershey Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting (The frosting is from Epicurious, and we have adapted a million ways from Sunday. So I can’t give you an exact recipe.)
Now, we’re very curious as to what you making today. So comment below and send any pictures here. We’ll post them with your comments.
I made about 50 popovers in order to have 30 perfect ones to give to a friend for her huge Christmas dinner party.

Jean, wow! That’s dedication! I’m sure they were delightful. (And what a lucky friend!)
Merry Christmas David, and The One! Loved the video and the menu sounds wonderful!
Suzanne, Merry Christmas to you, too. And thanks for the kind words.
Suzanne, glad you liked it!
A Merry Christmas to you both. Loved the video. I didn’t cook today but did have lunch in NYC with the elusive Allison. Not a meal anything like your gorgeous spread, but my day was quite happy too.
Definitely doing gougeres (and bubbly) for New Year’s, maybe sooner. For those of you who haven’t tried them yet, David’s cheesy puffs are the best!
C, I hope your time with Allison was lovely. And I’m blushing…but if my cheesy puffs are the best, no one can compete with your croissants! xox
