Andreas Viestad invites us to Geitmyra farm. The house is decorated for Christmas, and he serves us his best Christmas fare – traditional recipes for Christmas Eve, for family gatherings before and after Christmas and for New Year.

Here you will find all the various recipes you need: sweets, Christmas cakes, Christmas baking, mulled wine, spreads for Christmas breakfast, pork ribs, mutton ribs, turkey – and all the trimmings.

Make up extra portions of the sweet, the Christmas cakes or the spreads – and you have some lovely edible gifts for family and friends to enjoy. The author gives good advice about planning beforehand, so that you can enjoy the Christmas preparations free from stress.
