Christmas is a beloved holiday in the tropical Jamaica even though there’s no snow. In fact, with the Caribbean being a very christian region, Christmas is the most celebrated holiday of the year! And it’s not a Jamaican Christmas until the entire family comes together and enjoys their Christmas dinner followed by a slice of rich chocolate cake with fruits. The responsibility of the baking this cake is given to the best baker/cook in the family.

Schäufele is a popular choice of meal for Christmas in Germany and parts of Switzerland, comforting and filling while also festive and authentic.

I am a summer child through and through. But autumn and winter also have their charms – especially when it comes to food! Pumpkin is one of my absolute cooking favourites. I think it goes with almost everything. What’s more, Hokkaido pumpkin in particular is very well digestible and also highly recommended for sensitive tummies.
