The following is a recipe for chestnut cake. It's an adaptation of a recipe by Chef Tallyrand at HUB-UK (2011).

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Butter a round 25-26 cm cake tin. Roast or boil the chestnuts. If the chestnuts are roasted, simmer in the milk for 15 minutes or until soft. Puree the chestnuts in a food processor. Put the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl and mix. Add the melted butter, and mix. Add the almonds, chocolate, lemon juice, and brandy, and mix. Then, add the chestnuts and mix. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the mix. Pour the mix into the cake tin and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool for an hour or more before eating.

This is a recipe for cashew cardamom balls which I found at SCO*RECIPE (2011). Using your hands, mix the cashews and cardamom. Then mix in the orange peel, followed by the dates. The dates should make everything stick together, making a big ball. Divide this big ball into 16 small balls. Chop the coconut into as small pieces as possible, and roll each ball in coconut.

The following is an easy recipe for tasty rice pudding. It's from a cookbook called The New Best Recipe, by Cook's Illustrated (2004, ISBN 0936184744). Pictures by Rudi Riet — see here and here.

Boil the water in a large saucepan. Add the rice and salt. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost fully absorbed (about 15 minutes). Add milk, half and half, and sugar. Cook on high until boiling, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 15 minutes, or until a spoon can stand up in the pudding. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking or scorching. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and raisins. Cool and eat. (Store in refrigerator, with plastic wrap pressed onto pudding. Eat within two days.)

The following taco recipe makes about sixteen tacos small tacos.

Dice the onions and fry with a little vegetable on very low heat for 10 minutes or until brown. In a frying pan on medium heat with a little vegetable oil, brown the beef. Add taco seasoning (or make your own with garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper) as desired. Cut the orange peppers into thin slices. Shred the lettuce. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. With a spoon, put the green inner part into a bowl. Crush with a fork until smooth. Cut the jalapeños into very small pieces, unless you like the heat of them as is. Separate the tortillas. Store bought flour tortillas often stick together, and if yours do, microwave for 30 seconds first.

To serve, take a tortilla and add the desired amount of meat, onions, and cheese. Do this first (so the cheese will melt). Then add lettuce, avocado, orange pepper, and jalapeños. Optionally, try with sour cream, or perhaps with cilantro and limes mixed in with the avacado.

This is a recipe for eggnog. It's rather strong, so care should be taken when consuming. Also, some people worry about the uncooked eggs. My family has used this recipe for decades without a problem, but regardless, use your own judgment. I got this recipe from my parents, who got it from my grandparents.

Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Then beat in 1/2 cup sugar. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, and salt until very light. Combine the egg mixtures and stir until blended. Beat the heavy cream until stiff. Then add it to the egg mixture along with the milk, brandy, and rum. Mix well, pour into a gallon jug, and store in a cool place for 10 days to let it mellow. Shake well before serving. Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Drink sparingly.
