Wow! I can not wait to impress my food-nerdy friends with this!!! They are already so impressed that I’ve gone from a zero to a hero in the kitchen in 2 years and it’s almost only because of you, Marion! You have changed my life! Really! Before my friends and family came for beer and karaoke when I invited them. Now they ask if they can come over for food. And they keep bringing me gift cards for grocery stores!!! The biggest favourite is your Southern Thai Tamarind Prawns!!! I’ve even gotten tired of making it, and saying “We can’t have it every time!” I love what you have done for me, Marion! You can’t understand. And my copy of your cook book must be well on it’s way to Sweden 🇸🇪 now! With sincere gratitude and appreciation!

My all-life-long Christmas feast is juicy&crispy roasted duck, stuffed with apples and dried fruits (plumbs, apricots, figues, raisins...), served with potatoe dumplings and cooked red cabbage spiced with cloves, junipers, apples. This is archetypical for Northern Germany Christmas. I just did it last Sunday for 4 persons (a 2,5 kg bird). On 25th i will cook it again, for my partner's family, 8 people. When I cook this menu, the entire home smells incredibly awesome, the cloves and juniper, the red cabbage, the stuffing and the golden brown skin of the duck, the sauce... it is Christmas. My German grandma is then smiling at me from heaven. I always think of her when I cook her traditional dishes. Am a big fan of yours, half Cuban, half German, living in Brussels, cooking is my passion.

Watching from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

[@jprevatt]

I think my mate will be in charge of Christmas dinner this time. I did everything for Thanksgiving -- planning, shopping, cooking, cleanup. My guy barely lifted a finger... But he was ill for a couple days over that weekend...so can't be too resentful! 💞

[@melwee8511]

"Mom smells beautiful" AND cooks beautifully too! Blessed Christmas Marion and lovely family! :)

[@thelewismiles]

Yum! This all looks so delicious! I will definitely be trying this over the Christmas season!

[@georginabeatty983]

You're an amazing chef❤ Watching all the way from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

[@O_Dingo77]

I am on my own with a very old dog. My Christmas tradition is to always cook something special that I've never attempted. I've always wanted to try a goose so I gave it a go. Super expensive versus the actual haul of meat, but my goodness did I savour the goose fat for weeks after that I captured from the roast. Another thing I thought of was to try a Peking rabbit version. Was amazing, though I wanted more than it gave. :)

[@nino1filionewheeler257]

You are the queen of crispy pork belly :)

[@claudiadeslandes1105]

Thanks for the recipe! I think that your stuffing recipe will be my favorite

[@bananasenpai]

Dax sounds like he'll be really fun to have at parties hahahaha He's lucky superchats aren't turned on here too hehe

[@matsjohansson5750]

Since my daughter moved away from home, I no longer celebrate Christmas. But when I did, Finnish boxes were always a must. Carrot box, cabbage box. They are so good. A-M

[@nancychan1467]

Happy Holidays from Montreal, Canada….love your channel!!!! 🥂☃️🎄

[@tuxedoneko9837]

Me too 😊

[@maciedillon6702]

We usually eat ham, and then a banana pudding for dessert 🥰 I’m from Louisiana , way down south in the US! I LOVE watching your videos. Thank you so much!

[@harmonylifestylewellness]

that porchetta looks amazing, and the stuffing too!

[@benildadelavega2122]

I love the way you do your cooking video. I am excited to try this pork dish. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful dish.

I love all of your recipes! I have tried some of them and always left me spaceless! Andddd, I love to see that little Angel to be in frame and compliments you very sweetly! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@HowToCuisine]

OMG!! This looks scandalously delicious! 😱😱😍😍

[@lja64]

We are in Newport, RI. For Christmas day, I'll make a steak for the hubby, and I'll have salmon. I would love to make this meal.

[@sitmengchue4077]

WOW WOW. Thank you for this porchetta beauty n unusual salad!

[@lilpopism]

We make a danish christmas: roast port, caramelised potatoes, peas and carrots, gravy and apple sauce and like a danish rice custard that has almonds in it with a warm cherry sauce

[@RhondaThorne12]

Cool tricks, definitely will try that Roll pork

[@robinvarnadoe7434]

That crackly pork looks absolutely fabulous!

[@eugenevisser5415]

[@brikat342]

I got the Meater Plus for my husband for Christmas- he loves it!!! We used it on our Christmas Prime Rib. Thank you for sharing this product on this video - excellent gift idea. Heads up - charge it fully before using it. It will help!!

[@ronaldsssss]

Hi Marion! Seasonal greetings from The Netherlands. I love your videos they are very inspiring. What we love to do is cook at my best friends parents house but always with a theme. Like French, vegetarian, Dutch, Italian, and this year Thai cuisine. The “children” are cooking and the parents are enjoying. Wish you a lovely Christmas and the best wishes for 2022

[@ranirichard1150]

Follow you from the tasty & colorful India. Love your recipes Marion & that friendly atmosphere & humour you bring on

[@renaudsechet69]

so warm and sultry

[@ingeviaanen2990]

I made the pork and the stuffing last Sunday for a group of friends and oh my goodness it was so delicious! And the best part is, if there’s any pork left over, it’s delicious to eat cold!

[@novaskosh2158]

Gosh you’re wonderful :) Merry Christmas from San Antonio, TEXAS!

[@ninakaestanton4103]

Love the picture of your little one. Such a mini me you have. Lovely. Love your cooking.

[@itskitty808]

Watching from Hawaii! My family is making ribeye steak with mashed potatoes for Christmas dinner.

[@MadaliFood]

Wow....yummy crispy porchetta

[@29Martin100]

Thank you, Ms. Marion, I enjoy watching all your cooking. The crispy porchetta pork looks delicious I will cook them for Christmas and follow your recipes, your daughter is beautiful and so cute, and very loving affectionate. Merry Christmas to you, and God bless you all.

[@brikat342]

My mom usually made a beef tenderloin roast, her famous mashed potatoes, and Grandma’s spinach salad for Christmas. Sometimes she will mix it up with fish or filet mignon - depending on the head count. We only have stuffing on Thanksgiving since we cook it in the bird’s butt. 🙃 This year, my husband, son, and I are staying home for Christmas Day. My in laws gifted us prime rib, so we will most likely make that this year. New Years Eve is the big cooking day for us as I always try something new. Maybe this pork recipe will be it. ☺️

[@donnahogan1158]

Oh my goodness. I have watched you for awhile. This is the first time, with sound. Great accent! (Tennessee has an accent, also). Love your show, and have added a couple of recipes to my slow learning curve.

[@elenaguevarra9243]

Good Madame,always watching I like all your food that you cook I'm from Phillipines,

[@nicholruaya8120]

From the Phillippines here and I'm hoping to make your 2019 Christmas pork belly recipe for the holidays! *fingers crossed*

[@victoiredhenain9105]

Thank you for all the inspiration Marion, I love your content and this stuffing definitely looks like one I would eat :) This year, I am making your hot-smoked honey glazed salmon, can't wait. Do you think I can make it a day ahead and reheat the whole thing ? Thanks again and merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Your daughter looks like an angel, she is adorable.

[@Animaxx010]

Stuck at work. Eating instant cup for lunch while watching this. Why do I do this to myself? 🤤

[@greggorjk8100]

That pork belly roast is ridiculous, ridiculously delicious ;p ;p

[@brownie3486]

Merry Christmas Marion. Love watching u ❤️❤️❤️ Love from india 🤗🤗🤗💜

[@idaamaliehansen]

Watching from Denmark! My family will have duck roast or a pork roast. I don't eat meat so Ill probably have a lovely lentil roast 🥰Merry Christmas, Marion!

[@SueK2001]

I do want to try this recipe! We usually alternate between roast goose or standing rib roast and Yorkshire Pudding.

[@mizzmatrix]

Here in Norway (at least in the eastern part near the capitol) we have pork ribs with potatoes and sauerkraut.

I am looking forward to cooking your lamb cutlets for Christmas 😍

Hello i love your dishes watching you from Nairobi kenya

[@byronfowler5988]

Marion …. Please when you come to the Uk can you invite me to eat this cooked by you ? It would be a dream come true !!!!! That looks heavenly

[@janettanaka2894]

O.M.G. Marion that looked fantastic!! Sadly I don’t eat pork for health reasons but if I did, I’d be all over that. Btw your daughter is so adorable!! Christmas blessings to you and your family and your wonderful staff who clearly are like family to you.🎄 😊🇨🇦

[@roxanalfonso7865]

My mom and I are going for steaks this year! We live in the States and we’re going for steaks with mushroom sauce!! 😀

[@peabody1976]

I will never tire of your pork belly recipes: they all look so good, and you seemingly outdo yourself with each variant! I want to make them all, including this one! Thank you! [Edit: This year, I'm making either Cornish hens (if I can find them) or a roast chicken. Not exactly traditional, but my mother wants it this year. Watching from the US.]

[@alohatvj]

For Christmas 🎄 ☺ ❤ we are having baked ham with mashed potatoes 🥔 and green beans 😋. For dessert we are eating apple 🍎 🍏 and peach 🍑 pies.

[@gregbrooks7233]

Both these dishes look great! I have cooked pork belly a couple of times-- once as a roast, once cured as bacon. Delicious. Watching you cook the pork belly here makes me want to cook another one myself. I will need a different paste, as my wife does not like heat of any kind.

[@mishmash86]

Hi Marion, greetings from Malaysia. Yet to decide on my roast for this year, might be pork or lamb, but this has given me some ideas. Using chilli paste as the seasoning for the pork is a stroke of genius, might use that but with tom yum paste from a jar perhaps... still mulling it over. Stuffing wise, I'm pretty set on doing smoked duck, mushroom, chestnut and cranberry. Yours looks d'lish! Merry Christmas 🌲 to you and your lovely family.

[@tonistoian1480]

Merry Cristmans Marion.Kiss.

[@ninoutahiti9788]

Hello! Am watching you from Tahiti ^^

[@SilkaLiveDoll]

Commenting from Colorado, here. My aunt will have made her annual pilgrimage down to New Mexico to make tamales by now, so those will be available, and I'm sure there'll be a big pot of posole as well, along with the fan favorites of turkey and ham and a bajillion side dishes. It's a wonder I don't rupture some years. XD My favorite stuffing has a cornbread base, with breakfast sausage, the usual suspects for aromatics (onion and celery) and Craisins (sweetened dried cranberries that get all plump from the stock and drippings). I could (and have!) eat that just by itself for a meal. 🤤

[@markstargardt6308]

Hi Marion, this looks delicious, and I can't wait to try it. Btw, I am looking at you from Tampa, Florida USA.

[@missvince2147]

That story Dax told had me cracking up. 🤣😂🤣

[@nathangregg1765]

Watching from Tacoma, WA in the United States. We have a really good Asian market near us where I find 95% of your ingredients. I grew up in New Mexico so going to sub NM green Chile for a lot of the peppers in this one!

[@ragnaice]

I made your rolled pork belly with the rice filling and 5 spice sauce last new years eve, it was like the most showstopping, perfect thing I've ever cooked and it was in 2020 and I couldn't invite anyone for dinner except my parents D,: but this one looks interesting too, I have some doubts about all that chili though, your definition of not spicy is not the same as mine....

[@appolonia5763]

My mums Mauritian, but we live in England so we’ll have a traditional roast with gateau Pima and samosas hot 🥵 love the look of that pork !

[@ellielots3051]

[@jaspervandervaart6966]

im doin a sushi improv. just havin a good time

[@aurifulgore]

Imo the keys to a good stuffing are a good combo of veggies, especially leek or shallots, and don't skimp on butter or white wine (cooking wine if you dont like alcohol). And cooking it in the oven until it gets a CRUST. Anything less to me is just soggy bread lol. love your videos! From MN, USA

I am making Goose this (Gordon Ramsey’s recipe with 5 spices and orange) this Christmas actually in England.

This year we will be having your roast leg of lamb with the tomato miso sauce. Our family usually has lamb on Xmas eve here in NewZealand with lots of cold leftovers for Xmas Day at the beach

[@brettgibson8558]

From the UK here where turkey or sometimes goose is the go to Christmas dinner, but we prefer a beef rib roast, medium rare with all the traditional trimmings, but especially roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. I hate Brussel sprouts but have to cook them for someone else and I’m not allowed to doctor them (stir fried with bacon). Dax should definitely eat the shrimp paste, on camera. But for the $1000 he has to eat that whole pot you showed. It would make a great video 😎

[@pichitchuechomnoi5601]

Hi Marion I am Thai 🤓watching from London. I'm love👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ your cooking program different type of foods. I loved traditional English Roast dinner with stuffing. But did not like Turkey preferred chicken or pork. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎆🎉🎊💐🎂🍾🥂😊😜 ( I like your thermometer, but in UK I did not see they sell like the one you got? )

[@Shaden0040]

I like the idea of water chestnuts. I wonder if you can add toasted chectnuts as well?

[@sokphyblakeman5008]

I wondered if I can use pork belly with out the skin. Here in the USA, our grocery store took the skin off the pork belly. Please let me know. Thank you for sharing Marion. I love all of your recipes. God bless you.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@gaylepuou7214]

My homemade stuffing is similar to yours. In place of the chicken bits, I use hamburger. So simple..

[@hasnani98aahil]

You are just amazing mam. I first watched your video on how to make malaysian sambal but funny scene was I couldn't found the incredienta because I am in Pakistan. I tried cooking nasi lemak but failed badly not because the recipe was bad but you are just extraordinarily perfect.

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

What a coincidence, I just had my pork belly come in yesterday. I was planning on following the jake and elle recipe, but im very curious about your take on it. Unfortunately need to wait a bit until I can watch this, since im still at work 🙈

[@BunnyloveforJesus]

Did you try it, was it spicy?

[@frejahedeman8638]

Merry X-mas season everyone. I definitely will give this a try! Anyone an alternative for celery, please? Allergies....

[@joyherting3705]

Oh my gosh I need this, you're going to send me some right!? Maybe with some sauteed bok choy with garlic. I don't know what we're going to have yet, I gave my daughter some options and so waiting for her answer. I think I heard that crunch from here. Stuffing depends on what it's with and who I'm with, I like doing cornbread stuffing with sausage sauteed apples and you could add cranberries raisins even cherries. I will even cut some really thick pork chops and cut a pocket and put some of the stuffing in, works with chicken too.

[@BunnyloveforJesus]

Hello, Marion! Your recipes are wonderful, but just asking can I lessen the use of the dried chilies and add paprika with it instead? Also is this extremely spicy since some of my family members hate spicy food. Thank you in advance 😊 ❤️❤️❤️.

[@richardstevens1385]

I can't get fresh galangal. where I live (Spain) but have some dried, is that a decent substitute?

[@archie1579]

Can you make a tuna pesto 😊😅 Cause I want to know how you make your tuna pesto. 😊 By the way I'm a new subscriber and really love your cooking.

[@lousecowan5287]

Is the over temperature for fan assisted or non fan assisted ovens?

I am allergic to shellfish. What can I use instead of Shrimp Paste to boost flavour?

Nothing beats the original Pinoy Lechon de Leche. I hope she gives credit to Pinoy because it’s particularly an original Pinoy recipe. She should not generalize it as Asian.
