Germany
Stollen: Stollen is a fruited yeast bread made in many parts of Germany. At Christmas time it is decorated with colourful candied fruits for the occasion.
Holland
Christmas Tree Cookies / Pepernoot: These rich and decorative cookies are made to hang on the Christmas tree. They are coated with coloured coffee sugar crystals or iced and decorated with silver balls or sugar strands.
Kerstkrans (Dutch Christmas Ring): This is an attractive cake for the Christmas table, especially when a candle is put in the centre of the ring with some sprigs of holly and fir.
Italy
Panettone: This is a sweet yeast cake that is a traditional part of Christmas in Italy, but it is served with coffee and for breakfast throughout the year in many regions. Panettone keeps well in an airtight container and can be reheated whole. (and I really like it spread with butter and jam!)
Madagascar
Akoho sy voanio - Chicken with Coconut and Rice: Chicken cooked in Coconut Milk, with some ginger and garlic
Akoho misy Sakamalao - Chicken with Garlic and Ginger: If you like a lot of garlic and giner, you’ll love this traditional Madagascan recipe!

South Africa
Lekker Pudding: A yummy Christmas Desert that’s traditional in South Africa.

Mincemeat: If you want to make your own or can’t buy it in a jar!
Wassail: This is for adults! Good to warm you up on a cold winters night!
