These recipes are prepared with ingredients, which are widely available in December, at least from a Dutch or Western European perspective. In this month, winter will start, who knows with freezing ad snow. Every year we are hoping for a white Christmas, but for decades that has not happened. The Christmas tree is the centre point of the households and we break our heads over preparing Christmas dinner. And when Christmas has barely finished, New Years Eve is around the corner. No time to think about diets in December!
