Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve is one of the most memorable events of the year. If your family is used to having Christmas dinner at a restaurant, it’s probably best for your family to do it at home for this year’s Christmas celebration. The celebration will be more intimate and spirited, not to mention that Christmas dinner at home will help your family avoid any health risk from going outside. Therefore, let’s start the preparation for your Christmas dinner at home!
Make Sure that You Have the Adequate Cooking Equipment
Cooking for Christmas dinner will surely be different from cooking for everyday dinner. You will need more cooking equipment, perhaps bigger equipment, to help you prepare the many dishes. Start by counting the menu portions that you’re planning to serve and make sure that you have adequate cooking equipment. Otherwise, you can also rearrange the menu to suit your cooking ability.
Plan for Easy, Tasty, and Unique Menus
After you’ve set the number of portions for your Christmas dinner, it’s time to plan for an easy, tasty, and unique menu. Start by choosing one staple menu for your family’s Christmas dinner. It can be a traditional dish or food that reminds you of childhood.
If you’re still unsure about what kind of menu that the guests would enjoy, you can cook different modern menus that suit everyone’s palate. Prepare the menu starting from appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and extra snacks to be enjoyed while opening gifts.
Prepare the Ingredients in Advance
Cooking for many people will need many preparations as well. Especially for a special occasion like Christmas dinner, you will have to prepare a lot of ingredients. There will be a lot of families who are also buying ingredients for their own Christmas dinner parties at home, so you should act fast to avoid running out of stocks. Therefore, you can start preparing the spices that you’ll use to cook the Christmas dinner menu from now on. To make sure that the spices won’t turn bad, you can start from spices and ingredients that have a longer shelf life. As for vegetables, fruits, and fresh meats, you can buy those a day before.
Invite Other Family Members to Cook
Measure your ability to prepare for everything. Don’t push yourself to the point of exhaustion. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help from a household assistant or other family members. Make a list of Christmas dinner preparations and other tasks that you can delegate to your family members.
Buy Some Food from a Restaurant
Perhaps you’re a great home cook, but cooking for large portions by yourself can be too overwhelming. Don’t force yourself to cook every single meal on your own. If there are dishes that you’re unable to make, it’s better to order them from your favorite restaurant. Thanks to the online food delivery service, you can easily order any food from various restaurants. However, you need to know the ETA of your food delivery as it’s possible for restaurants to be overbooked.
Those are several tips that you can try to prepare your ultimate Christmas dinner at home. You can show off your cooking skills while having fun with your family.
