This is a homemade remake of the traditional French Bûche de Noël. Instead of a big log it's made in small single portions. The fun part is to do the decoration on top of the cake, and sense you have many small logs you can decorate them all different from each other if you like.

Potatoes au gratin
This potato gratin is wonderful thanks to the soft and creamy potatoes combined together with the melted cheese and salty bacon. The gratin is considered to be a side dish but can also turn to be the highlight of the meal. To even enhance the flavor more you can add some garlic and onion in the gratin.
Fish burger with potato cakes
Fish burger with potato cakes
This is a healthy fish burger served together with potato cakes instead of traditional hamburger bread. You can use any kind of fish you like, but it is very good together with fresh tuna fillets. Instead of having fries on the side we recommend a healthy green salad.
