The Perfect Christmas Dinner Menu For An Italian Feast

[@vincenzosplate]

What is the dish you Must Cook/Eat on Christmas Day?

[@tylerr6940]

For the past several years I have made sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls). But, I think I will have to start making porchetta! That looks so good man! I think I'll try smoking it and then finish it in the broiler. Merry Christmas Vincenzo!

[@tanikokishimoto1604]

I don't have any specific dish for Christmas day.

[@stephrusty3055]

Peas, you watching Gordon

[@StockyScoresRaoraPantheraFC]

Some big meat dish

[@phxgidget]

My grandparents came to America from Sicily. However we always had ham or turkey for Christmas. Now I'm in my 60's and still doing the same but I should honor my original heritage. Thanks for all the great recipes! Hugs to you & your amazing family❤

[@vincenzosplate]

Happy to hear that you keep the Italian tradition alive while living in the USA! Thanks for the love and support my friend! ❤️🇮🇹

[@dominicanderson1494]

Ciao Vincenzo, your videos have made me fall in love with the Italian cuisine. From time to time I try out your recipes and they turn out great and delicious. Grazie Vincenzo, love from Lithuania 🇱🇹 ❤️ 🇮🇹

[@vincenzosplate]

Aw you're welcome my friend! Which of my recipes have you liked the most till now?🇮🇹🍝

[@dominicanderson1494]

@vincenzosplate I have to say nothing beats Spaghetti Carbonara a Italian classic. Me and my family love it

[@StockyScoresRaoraPantheraFC]

​@@vincenzosplatei loved the beef lasagna!

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Your mother is a gem. Loved the enthusiasm for the eggplant lasagna! My personal feeling for the porchetta, the "crackling', there is nothing better. That taste, the satisfaction, pure indulgence. 🥰Great video!!

[@vincenzosplate]

Grazie! 🇮🇹👩‍🍳 Your kind words mean the world. I totally agree. With the holiday just around the corner, ever thought about trying your hand at recreating these dishes? I think you'll absolutely enjoy every bite.

[@DT-wp4hk]

Have some nice holidays and best wishes

[@vincenzosplate]

Wishing you wonderful holidays filled with joy, laughter, and delicious moments. Buone feste!

Perfect timing as I was going to ask you to comment on my menu for a party of six...i am planning to serve three mains...eggplant parmigiana , chicken cacciatore and of course a carbonara spaghetti.... Of course served with a bold Italian Red! One of the guests is bringing a chucuterie board as an appetizer with meats,cheeses and olives , another bringing a dessert

[@vincenzosplate]

Sounds like a delicious dinner! Enjoy my friend, I'm sure your guests will be amazed by your cooking skills 🇮🇹

[@josiemorgan5401]

Another amazing video my dear friend thank you so much 😊🤗👍👍👍👍👍

[@vincenzosplate]

You're welcome my friend! Have you decided what you'll cook for Christmas? 🎄🇮🇹

[@oldcrowcreations]

So many lovely recipes Vincenzo 💕 I will be making my own lasagna this year and meatballs on the side. No crepes, but using fresh egg pasta. My mom always used crepes but made manicotti. We all helped. It is amazing with the crepes. My dad’s mom always made him struffoli. My mom didn’t like it. I think I will make some grilled eggplant to go with the salad. Thanks for the idea! We are also cooking a turkey and potatoes plus all kinds of snacks… meats, cheeses, breads, olives, nuts, etc. I am buying a fresh tiramisu from a local gentleman who used to own a restaurant, but now just makes his own tiramisu. It’s wonderful. And I would eat that cream for the pandoro with a spoon too 😊 Grazie Vincenzo. Salud! 🥂

[@vincenzosplate]

You're welcome my friend! Thanks for giving a bit of your time to watching my videos! ❤️🇮🇹

Christmas Dinner isn't Christmas Dinner without cappelletti in brodo for me. We kids would help mamma in the days before, preparing them, getting into trouble for oversampling the filling! Such happy days! Buon natale Vincenzo.

[@vincenzosplate]

Buon Natale! What beautiful memories with cappelletti in brodo. The joy of making them together and, of course, the oversampling! Wishing you a Christmas filled with those wonderful traditions and happiness.

[@EricJMJ-ln9dx]

from America ,Merry Christmas, chef, fantastic job. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas and happy New Year..! God bless you and your family. Thank you for what you do sir! Our Christmas tradition for the last 50 years has been a ravioli and lasagna, and all the trimmings...

[@vincenzosplate]

Ravioli and lasagna are both delicious Christmas traditions! Keep up the great work my friend! Merry Christmas ❤🇮🇹🎄

Merry Christmas to you Vincenzo. I make a.special tomato sauce for Christmas Eve that has an anchovies, pignoli, green olives, etc. which has been in our family for generation. I also make pizzelle and strufoli. My grandchildren look forward to this every year. All the best to your lovely family. 🎄

[@eileenoreilly1979]

Wow I've never seen a lasagna like that I'm totally going to do this but vegan...thxs that was something I've never heard of!

[@vincenzosplate]

You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out for you 😋🍝🇮🇹

[@JoannaHammond]

A little tip, if you are working on a gas stove NEVER have the pan that full of oil when deep frying. Unless you want to spend xmas having your local firebrigade visit you. If you need the oil to be that deep use a bigger pan.

[@vincenzosplate]

Good point! Thanks for the tip my friend! ❤

[@JonBe2012]

Get a life

[@adzmc6681]

Hey bro how many crepes do i need to make for the lasagna. I hope you have a happy Christmas and a happy new year.

Merry Christmas Vincenzo! I'm not from an Italian family however we eat a panettone every year ...so yum! One day you should do a review on all the ones in the market!

[@inokemow5290]

Amazing.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you🥰

[@meatgeorge]

Merry Christmas Vincenzo! Lasagna has been a staple in our Christmas since I was a baby. Of course Nonna used to make it and now I make it. Like Nonna I would make everything the day before and keep it in the fridge overnight. My father used to always do a roast ham. When I host Christmas, I put the ham on the smoker so it's double smoked and glaze it there. Traditional in our house there is always a good antipasto platter, freshly cooked prawns and a salad of some sort . The dessert is usually a pav plus a trifle. So a blend of Italian and Australian.

[@tibltsgebremedhin4096]

Grazie mille

[@vincenzosplate]

Di niente ❤

[@jackruaro]

I just find it amazing that there's an entire community of Italian men who speak English with Aussie accents.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahaha do you think we do a good job at speaking english? 😂

[@jackruaro]

@@vincenzosplate Yes! I like it that you become more Italian when you're angry at what's happening and more Australian when you're happy with it haha

[@denfool902]

For vigilia it's Baccala Istria style. Similar to baccalà mantecato Venetian. Baccala, potato, olive oil, garlic all mixed into a rough pate, look it up 😁served with Pasutice pasta, or on a nice home made bread, baguette style. Along with a beautiful antipasto, including white anchovies. I'm soaking my baccala right now.

Do you have recipes for the Christmas Eve feast of the Seven Fishes? We are not Italian, but Dad latched onto the concept 30 years ago. Most of what he made then was Asian, but the thought was there. I will be following Dad's inspiration for guests this weekend... I'd like to include one bona fide Italian dish. Thanks ..

[@Naminator09]

you know he loves his food cause he chews it so many times like he starved for days and he takes even second bites right after it^^

[@catherinevalomymotelinn1544]

as a young girl we made these every year took so much time but all 14 of us girls loved them.

I'm convinced that whenever you order something online the dispatcher doesn't give the delivery guy your address and just tells him to roll his window down and follow the scent to the best smelling house in the city

[@vincenzosplate]

It's a flavor party in every bite. If you give it a try, I hope it delights your taste buds. Enjoy!

Making your bruschetta for my family drinking prosecco on Christmas Day! Made 3 variations, the 2nd the best. I tried using the oil from sundried tomatoes, but it didn't mesh as well as I liked for a fresh dish. Felt too heavy, instead just used regular EVOo. Also, Campari tomatoes are amazing. Rubbed garlic on the toast (fresh sourdough) and seasoned it with some Parmigianino Reggiano, then mix, then salt, black pepper, pecorino and some extra pepper on top.

[@vincenzosplate]

Well done my friend! You are now a pro at making Italian Bruschetta! 🍷

[@MetalCooking666]

That’s a really interesting tip for the rice for the arancini. I always assumed you made them with leftover risotto rice

I was wondering when you were gonna tackle italian cocktails like the aperol spritz. Maybe for another video you could do other italian cocktails like the negroni

[@vincenzosplate]

perol Spritz and Negroni are fantastic choices. I'll definitely whip up some Italian cocktail magic in an upcoming video. Stay tuned for those refreshing sips!

[@gthefolf9932]

Cant wait to make the zucchini fritters / grilled eggplant / eggplant parmigiana and struffoli soon for me i love zucchini and eggplant sooooooooo much i never had zucchini fritters / grilled eggplant / eggplant parmigiana and struffoli before perfect for my after office meals and snacks

Arancini would be great for a New Year’s Day buffet 😋 I like the balls slightly smaller so not too heavy (we have a big buffet 😂) 👍

I really want to cook Cannoli with oven. Could you teach me how to do it? Why I want 'Baked version' is, it is far more healtier than fried one. I want delicious baked cannoli. I already bought Cannoli tubes😊 Want to cook Korean Pulgogi, Margherita Pizza, Pasta Al Pomodoro. And Cannoli as Dessert.😂

[@Sharon46T]

We were always taught to salt the aubergine or you’ll get ‘itchy tongue’ - don’t know how true that is 😂

You can salt them to remove the water😊

7 kinds of fish on Christmas Eve including Pasta con le Sarde. Christmas day is antipasti all day with Aperol Spritz, Lasagna all Bolognese, Rib roast with salmoriglio, arugula salad with blood oranges, pomegranate and pistachios. For dessert, Italian cookies including cucidati, cannoli and of course plenty of wine and limoncello. Can you guess what region of Italy my family came from by the food?

Try getting mozzarella de Buffalo in Australia.? Impossible. They’ll have something that looks similar but taste comes nothing close . Just like gelatos & prosciutto San Daniele .? Good luck with that . The list is endless. Yes it’s an Italian traditional meal but with Australian produce . Agriculture in Australia & Italy is night and day . I know no one that flies to Italy daily to get fresh the best Carciofo in Rome Ladispoli. That’s all I’m saying . Yes Italian inspired food . But not authentic produce .its not like buying a Ferrari in Maranello and bringing it bask to Australia. Still delicious but nothing is like eating out there in Campania . What my fam comes from. Or the rest of Italy beautiful regions . How about the mortadella in Bologna .? Emilia Romagna . Forget it about .
