A Taste of Christmas Around the World
Cookbooks to inspire you these holidays
This Christmas, take inspiration from around the world with our international cookbooks and impress all of your guests!
Christmas has many flavours, and each tradition tells its own story. Here in Aotearoa New Zealand, the holiday season is filled with long summer evenings, sizzling barbecues, and a pavlova topped with berries. It's a time of sunshine, beaches, and gathering with whaanau.
Further north, families in Finland gather around bowls of creamy rich porridge, warming themselves against the winter chill. In Mexico, the streets are alive with music and colour, and sweet bunuelos are shared after the midnight mass. In Japan, crowds line up for the unexpected festive favourite...a bucket of KFC chicken. Serbia's Christmas table brings its own magic, with bread baked around hidden coins for luck in the year ahead. Across Europe and beyond, you'll find buttery Scottish shortbread, Italian panettone, Austrian sacherwurfel, or the comforting richness of a traditional British pudding. And in America, Christmas wouldn't be complete without trays of cookies and festives bakes to share.
Our cookbook collection holds all these traditions - some surprising, all delicious. Whether you're baking, roasting, or even air frying, why not let your Christmas table take a journey around the world this year?
