Christmas Dinner 2021

This year, with everyone vaccinated within my family who could be with us at home, I decided to celebrate!

For appetizers we had Jamon Iberico de Belleto fed only with acorns, Gilda (peppers, anchovies and olives) I brought back from our trip in Bilbao and San Sebastián, cheeses from our neighborhood cheese place.

I was going to make the mashed potatoes and garnish it with fresh white truffle but I had no more time to sieve it nor mash the potatoes.  So I just cut them into pieces and added butter and sprinkled them with salt and shaved the white truffle on top.  Next time, I may drizzle some truffle oil too.

Desserts this year were Tunisian traditional desserts crafted by @Layla of California and festive chocolates with peanut butter centers by @JohnKelly 

If you need any of the recipes - please let me know.  

Below were sweets I ordered from the website  I provided in my link.  But I quickly made up my concocted dessert with some  japanese style cheesecake  with whipped cream, pink strawberries and crumbled French style meringue.

I have never been to Vienna so I had to plan a very packed weekend to taste, view and see everything I could from Friday night and leave Monday morning.  If you schedule everything in advance, one will be able to achieve a highlighted stay.

I knew had to choose a restaurant that is something different to remember my trip.  I researched the best in the list you can find within the area of my hotel in the heart of Vienna.  And that is how I ended up with Silvio Nickol.
 1) Appetizer: Balhau - Caviar - Black cumin, Veal tartar - pumpkin
 Appetizer - Oyster in green


 Choice of gourmet breads and 2 kinds of butter

 Duck liver with so much art and surprise (don't let the title turn you off)












Tuesday to Saturday
6 pm. to 9:30 pm
