Mad til Juleaften (Danish Christmas Eve Feast)

Mad Til Juleaften: A Danish Christmas Eve Feast

Immerse yourself in the warmth of Danish holiday traditions, right here in San Francisco. Join us for an intimate, hands-on class where you'll learn to prepare a classic Danish Christmas Eve dinner, known as Juleaften.

In our state-of-the-art kitchen at Saluhall, you'll work to create a menu that captures the essence of hygge - that uniquely Danish sense of coziness and conviviality:

  • Crisp-skinned Roast Duck with Apples and Prunes
  • Rich Pan Gravy infused with Duck Drippings
  • Rødkål (Braised Red Cabbage with Spices)
  • Risalamande (Creamy Rice Pudding with Almonds and Cherry Sauce)

Throughout this 4-hour experience, you'll learn traditional techniques passed down through generations, adapted for the modern kitchen. We'll explore how to source the best local ingredients that mirror the quality of their Danish counterparts.

You'll discover:

  • The method for achieving succulent and juicy duck 
  • How to balance the sweet and sour notes in rødkål for that authentic taste
  • The technique for creating creamy-dreamy risalamande and the tradition of the hidden almond

The class concludes with a communal meal where we'll enjoy the fruits of our labor, Danish-style.

Whether you're of Danish heritage, have experienced Juleaften in Denmark, or are simply curious about international holiday traditions, this class offers a unique opportunity to expand your culinary repertoire and create new holiday memories.

 

Glædelig Jul og Velbekomme! (Merry Christmas and Bon Appétit!)
