23 DECEMBER 2021
Hi friends, we wanted to send one more issue of our Big Love newsletter before the holiday starts. There is no interview in this one. Instead we have posted a new Christmas salad recipe on our site that we think you should try. We are also sharing a little holiday recipe roundup with some of our most popular GKS Christmas recipes – mains, sides, salads and treats. 
We have got some fun newsletter issues planned for the beginning of next year, so stay tuned for more.
Big love and happy holidays!

A WINTER RECIPE
Saffron Millet Salad
"Packed with flavor, looks stunning and perfect for the holidays"
We have been making versions of this salad for years. It's a perfect crossover recipe between a salad, side and main. Here we have used millet as the grain base that we flavor with saffron and top it with cinnamon roasted roots and a stunning blush Castelfranco radicchio. If you don't like millet you could use bulgur, quinoa or buckwheat instead, and the radicchio can be swapped for kale. The full is recipe on our site!

RECIPE ROUNDUP
Our Best Holiday Recipes
Here is a little round up with some of the most popular winter recipes from our site.
– MAINS –
• If you are looking for a delicious main this Mushroom, Rice & Hazelnut Loaf is a classic. Rich, crunchy and flavorful!
• Another fun and slightly unusual dish for the Christmas table are these Stuffed Cabbage Parcels filled with lentils, walnuts, raisins, garlic and herbs.
• It's a 10 year anniversary for these Baked Saffron Falafels – we made this recipe for a vegan Christmas feature for Bon Appétit back in 2011.
• We made these Vegetarian Swedish Meatballs using an oat based tofu, but you can use a regular firm tofu instead.

– SIDES
• These Smashed Balsamic Potatoes combine crispy and crunchy.
• So does these Hasselback Potatoes with Pesto & Kale – they look so pretty but demand some knife skills.
• A fun and slightly unusal take on ribs: Saffron & Ginger Ribs with firm tofu. 
Mustard Roasted Roots with a Saffron dressing (can you tell we love saffron!)

– SALADS –
• This Crispy Red Cabbage & Grape Salad is Luise's take on a traditional Danish salad. 
• Don't be deceived by the mundane look of this Black Quinoa, Apple & Kale Salad, it is still one of our favorites for an easy kale salad. All thanks to the mustard vinaigrette which works so well with kale. Look for a grainy mustard.
• Brussels Sprouts are not only good roasted, in this Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad we serve them thinly sliced with hazelnuts and orange slices.
• Not a conventional Christmas Salad but Roasted Pumpkin Salad is always a hit.

– TREATS – 
• This DELICIOUS Spiced Parsnip Cake is a sibling to a carrot cake with a rooty twist.
• If you need a break from baking, this Spiced Mocha Shake is your go-to hot drink. And this 3-minute Ginger Bread Shake is a delicious cold version.
• We made Saffron Buns, Xmas Tree Smoothies and Gingerbread Truffles together with our friends from Pom & Flora. Find all the recipes here.
• This Gingerbread and Lingonberry Bundt Cake is a stunner.
• Super simple Dark Chocolate Christmas Mousse (scroll down for the recipe)
