Echt alles van de festive menu van begin tot einde ; suuuuuper lekker. Eigenlijk eerste keer dat we besteld hebben maar zeker niet de laatste keer. Mij man zijn reactie bij de ragout ; dat is toch niet vegan? Hij kon er niet van over ... . Echt super dikke merci!!!
Gisteren was het hier pre-kerst en hebben we het feestmenu gemaakt! Wouw wouw wou! Zoooo lekker!! Die caponata was heerlijk, de soep met die pesto briljant (ben doorgaans geen feestsoep mens) maar dat hoofdgerecht! Die ragout was oooooverheerlijk, zeker in comb met dat appeltje. Mjaaam!
Amai superlekker, iedereen vond het echt top! Heerlijk om niet te moeten koken & toch zo een uitgebreide maaltijd te mogen opsmikkelen, zeker na 3 heavy party days ;)
Can you tell me a bit more about the menu?
Of course! Let’s take a walk through our traditional Christmas sharing menu together, shall we? 🤗
1. a gorgeous starter. Our elegant, agrodolce pumpkin caponata is a fireworks of flavours in your mouth: umami-rich roasted butternut, tomato and red onion, black olives and capers for saltiness, raisins for a touch of sweetness... A vibrant Christmas surprise that’ll blow your socks off with deliciousness. We recommend to pair it with some simple salad leaves (which can’t be frozen, sadly 😝), a squeeze of lemon, and maybe some toasted pine nuts!😋
3. Next: soup! No traditional Christmas dinner is complete without a creamy, delicious soup - of course. Our tomato cream soup paired with a basil pesto ... And mini bread rolls for dipping!
4. On to the main… just like amazing cook (& Lily's Mama!) Marijke makes it every year - but in our Solid Stash vegan version.
- The centre piece is a rich, glossy ragout with Le Seitanist's fantastic celeriac seitan, accompanied by mushrooms, carrots, aromatics and lllots of red wine.
- On the side we've got caramelised endives, roasted apples with cranberry compote, and oven croquettes. And if THAT doesn't make you feel festive, we don't know what will!
5. Our final stop: dessert! A slice of warm Decadent Toffee Cake (Lily's absolute favourite during her 9 years living in the UK) paired with a creamy, melting scoop of ice cream.
… Time to swap that nice Christmas outfit for some comfortable pyjamas, don't you think? 😝
How many people is the Festive Menu for?
One Festive Menu royally feeds two people. You can of course very easily double up to create a feast for four, six, eight... people.
Of course you can also treat yourself, and enjoy the Festive Menu solo. A number of dishes are individually packaged, and the others (which are packaged for two people) you can enjoy for up to 24 hours after taking them out of the freezer. Yay: leftovers party!

What's not included?
In general, the Festive Menu includes all you need to cook up an amazing Christmas meal for two. Side dishes (bread rolls, oven croquettes, roasted apples, endives) and ice cream are included in the pack.
However, please note that the Festive Menu does not include drinks.
Note that our Ovenhapjes box is not included in the Festive Menu.
Optionally, we also recommend to get the following in the house to pimp the starter (Pumpkin Caponata):
* Salad leaves
* Pinenuts
* A simple dressing with fresh lemon juice, good olive oil & some salt.
Does the Festive Menu contain Ovenhapjes?
Unlike last year, the Festive Menu does not include Ovenhapjes. Ovenhapjes can be bought separately here. This way, you can choose for yourself how many ovenhapjes to get!
What about allergens?
Here is an overview of the allergens per dish that is included in the Festive Menu.
Please note that our kitchen is not an allergen-free zone: traces of all allergens may be present in all our dishes.
- Caponata (starter): sulfites
- Soup & pesto: soy, sesame seeds
- Bread rolls: gluten, yeast
- Ragout: gluten, soy, celery, sulfites, alcohol (largely evaporated)
- Croquettes: gluten
- Apples: soy
- Endives: soy
- Sticky toffee pudding: gluten, nuts, nutmeg
- Ice cream: Contains soy & pecan nuts
What about alcohol?
The only dish in the Festive Menu, that contains alcohol is the Ragout.
To make our Ragout super delicious we use plenty of red wine. During the cooking process the vast majority of the alcohol in the wine evaporates. In the end, for a single portion of Ragout (340g), only the equivalent of 4ml of wine remains. That's only 3/100th of a normal glass of wine.
We surely think this is a very small amount, however whether you consider this negligible (e.g. when you are breastfeeding or avoiding alcohol) is of course up to you!
