I was looking over show statistics this week and noticed two things. First, a big thanks – I noticed LOTS of growth over the last 6 months (although the last two months have been slow, so please, keep sharing your favorite episodes!!!). Also, I noticed that the Thanksgiving rerun episode was super, super popular – actually even more so than the original!
So!!! I thought it was time to pull together an episode I’ve been thinking about for a while – Christmas Desserts From Around the World. I want this to be the most comprehensive guide to pastries, pies, cakes, puddings, candies, cookies – what other dessert types are there? – that families all around the world make to celebrate Christmas.
This episode will be released in December (or November, right after Thanksgiving) BUT it will first be a blog post released in September!! This way, people planning for holiday parties can use your international recipes all season long (and stop by your website, if you have one) AND, at the same time, we can build excitement for this episode that I’ll release in December. Hopefully lots of people stopping by the website to try your recipes will subscribe to the podcast in anticipation of this episode!
Because of that timing, I need your help curating these global recipes NOW – not in December, November, or even in October, but right now!! Here’s how you can help!
How To Submit YOUR Cherished Christmas Dessert There are lots of ways! (I don’t necessarily need a recipe.)1. The first thing I need is MEMORIES of a cherished Christmas Dessert recipe from your heritage. The very best way to submit this is through Speakpipe. It’s a super easy – just click here and leave a 90 second message.
- Describe the dessert
- Tell us anything you know about the history of the dessert
- Tell us who made the dessert and what you remember about them, specifically
- Tell us about the home or place where you made/make it.
- Describe your memories making or eating the dessert
2) If you’re really, really not up to speaking, you can also leave your memory in this form. (There’s a good chance, I follow you up and hound you.)
3) IF you’d like me to link to a Christmas dessert on your website, I am absolutely thrilled to do that – just as long as you share a memory along with it. You can leave that in this form also.
4) Finally, if you’d like to share your own recipe (or your family’s recipe), but you don’t have a website or blog to link back to, I’d be honored to share your recipe here on my blog. You can enter it here and I’ll make sure it’s shared along with the episode.
Leave a memory in a Google form
5) Share this – if you know someone who has a signature dish, share this with the and invite them to participate!
6) Finally! I know Christmas isn’t the only holiday in December. If there’s another winter holiday you’d like to come on the podcast to discuss, I’d love to hear about that – you can nominate yourself or someone else to teach us all about that holiday using this form right here.
