Economical Christmas Menu

Christmas: economical menu, is a proposal of economical, easy-to-prepare, and sophisticated dishes for a spectacular Christmas dinner, perfect for all budgets. During the Christmas meal or dinner, the whole family gathers, so the number of dishes multiplies, leading to a considerable economic increase. However, it is possible to create special dishes for these days on a tighter budget. The first thing we need to consider when creating the economical Christmas menu is that prices of products increase significantly during Christmas, so it is advisable to buy food in advance. We will keep them in a suitable place or freeze them if necessary. Additionally, in our economical Christmas menu, we will replace more expensive ingredients (seafood, lamb, tenderloin, etc.) with cheaper ones (chicken, turkey, hake, etc.). It is also important to take care and dedicate time to the presentation of the dishes and the table. An attractive and festive appearance will add more value to the food or dinner; it doesn't have to be expensive, and guests will appreciate it.
