Christmas lunch

On this page, you’ll find the best recipes for this year’s Christmas lunch. My family has so many traditions when it comes to Christmas — especially when it comes to the food we share.

Many of the recipes you’ll find here are ones I’ve learned from my mother and grandmother. They’ve been made for many years and refined along the way, so I know these are truly good recipes. In my Christmas lunch category, you’ll find everything from my best meatballs to the perfect white bread and apple pork.

Be sure to also check out my other Christmas recipes.

It varies a lot from family to family what’s on the table for a Christmas lunch. In my family, we always have good rye bread and light white bread. Alongside that, we serve meatballs, fried fish fillets, curried herring, egg salad, liver pâté, and much more.

In what order is a Danish Christmas lunch served? Traditionally, you start by serving fish – usually herring and fried fish fillets. Then comes the meat dishes, followed by cheese, and finally, most people finish with something sweet.
