Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and pour the mixture into the pan. Spread it out evenly. Cook it until it starts to like set around the edges. Place the skillet into the now-heated oven and bake until the eggs are set. Serve in wedges like pie and with yogurt (a good rule of thumb with Iranian food is that it is served with yogurt. Otherwise, you just ain't doing it right)

This is a vegetarian one that is optimal for breakfast. Closest Western equivalent would be like quiche or frittata

Kielbasa and Sauerkraut with Beer, courtesy of Yuletide Yggdrasil

Kielbasa and Sauerkraut with Beer
1 Kielbasa ring
1 can of beer (we use a lager, good flavor for cooking -- Yuengling Lager, being the regional favorite)
1 large can of Sauerkraut (32oz?)
Horseradish
Brown Sugar (optional)
Directions:
Cut kielbasa into links or large chunks. Place in crock pot (or large deep pan, for oven)
Pour entire large can of sauerkraut over. (Do not strain -- loses flavor)
Pour entire can of lager over.
(If using brown sugar: first combine beer and brown sugar in a small saucepan, and cook until melted together and thicker)
Add horseradish to preference. (We use LOTS)
Slow cook for around 6 to 8 hours -- Nothing is actually raw (Kielbasa is usually already smoked), so this is for flavor, mostly, get all those juices combined and seeped in. Stir and mix occasionally

Paella courtesy of North macaronesa

Ingredients:
- White Bermuda Onion
- Azorean Red Bell Pepper
- Portugal Azores Garlic
- Azorean Red Tomato
- Giant Black Parsley
- Wild Tangier Peas
- Bay Leaf
- Paprika
- Saffron
- Salt & Pepper
- Canary Small Shrimp
- Limpets
- Calamari
- Canarian Olive Oil
- Madeiran wine
- Portuguese rice
- Chicken broth

Preparation
- Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add chopped tomato, bay leaf, paprika, saffron, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add wine. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Add chicken & rice. Add chopped parsley and cook for 1 minute.
- Add broth. Pour the broth slowly all around the pan and jiggle the pan to get the rice into an even layer. (Do not stir the mixture going forward!). Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Give the pan a gentle shake back and forth once or twice during cooking
- Cook paella uncovered for 15-18 minutes, then nestle the shrimp, limpets, and calamari into the mixture, sprinkle peas on top, and continue to cook (without stirring) for about 5 more minutes. Watch for most of the liquid to be absorbed and for the rice at the top nearly tender. (If for some reason your rice is still uncooked, add ¼ cup more water or broth and continue cooking).
- Cover and let rest. Remove the pan from heat and cover the pan with a lid or tinfoil. Place a kitchen towel over the lid and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve and enjoy!

Ambrosial Roast Chicken, courtesy Arstotskiano

1 whole chicken (preferably around the weight of 1.5 kg to 2 kg/3lb - 4lb)
75 grams (2 and a half ounces) of softened unsalted butter
1 lemon and 1 tablespoons worth of lemon zest
1 tablespoons worth of thyme leaves and 2 extra sprigs
(I personally like mine with some salt and pepper if you want to bring that.)

(OPTIONAL) Serving extras:
175 grams (60 ounces) of peas
As much mashed potato as you want!
Two carrots

Step 1.
Preheat your oven to about 200 celsius (400 farenheit) While preheating, rinse inside the chicken with cold water. Place it on a board and pat it dry on the inside and out with kitchen paper.
Step 2.
For step 3 you need to make the stuffing first, do the following: Mix your softened unsalted butter with your thyme leaves and your tablespoon of lemon zest (I personally add the aformentioned salt and pepper, as I believe it tastes so much better) and then mix it in a bowl until it forms a smooth texture.
Step 3.
Lift up the skin at the top of the breastbone of the chicken, slide your hand inside and press in a bit on the sides to form pockets on the sides, stuff about half of your stuffing on each side.
Step 4.
Cut your zested lemon in half and place half inside your chicken with your extra 2 thyme sprigs and tie the legs together before going and placing the chicken in a roasting tin.
Step 5.
Season your chicken with whatever you prefer, I personally add some vegetable oil a bit of extra butter, some salt and some pepper.
Step 6.
Transfer the roasting tin into the now heated oven (assuming it is fully heated by now, if not wait until it is then transfer.) and roast it for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or if already a sweet golden brown before that take it out before, if not a golden brown by 1 hr and 20 mins keep eyes on it until it's golden brown. Remember to baste your meat after about 30 minutes and then after that every 15 minutes.
Step 7.
Carefully transfer your cooked chicken to a rack, preferably over a tray to catch drips, and leave it for ten to fifteen minutes before serving.
(OPTIONAL) Step 8.
Place 2 or more potatoes into a pot of cold water and heat until boiling, then leave it for 15 minutes (about the time for your cooked chicken to finish dripping) and when finished boiling drain the water and mash up the potatoes, add any spare butter you have for extra flavour on the mashed potatoes and serve with your roast chicken.
(OPTIONAL) Step 9.
Bring your peas and make them in any way you like! Boil em, fry em, roast em or even somehow grill them! However you prefer your peas is your choice, they'll taste nice in the end with your chicken and any other optional things you make.
(OPTIONAL) Step 10.
Grab 2 or more carrots and chop them up, boil them in another pot next to your mashed potatoes while you make your peas and mashed potatoes.
Step 8, 9, 10 or 11 depending on if you did the optional steps or not.
Plate all of the food you have made in any way that you wish, I personally prefer to put the peas around the chicken with the carrots in a circle around, putting the mashed potatoes to the side.

I suggest making some extra gravy with it if you want, but otherwise you are done! Enjoy

225g butter
250g granulated sugar
50g dark brown sugar
1.5 tsp vanilla essence
0.5 tsp lemon juice
325g plain flour

Melt the butter. 
Mix in the sugars, vanilla and lemon until smooth. 
Mix in flour, salt, cinnamon and the egg. 
Mix in choc-chips and fudge pieces.
Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet, keeping the cookies about 5cm / 2” apart.
Check the oven after ten minutes. As soon as the edges of the cookies start going brown, take them out. Cool them on a rack.
The fudge helps make the cookies chewy. If you switch the fudge for something else, then switch some of the granulated sugar for brown sugar

Nanaimo bar, courtesy of Couch fort

The Nanaimo bar is a dessert item of Canadian origin. It is a bar dessert which requires no baking and is named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. It consists of three layers: a wafer and coconut crumb-base, custard flavoured butter icing in the middle and a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Many varieties exist, consisting of different types of crumb, different flavours of icing (e.g., mint, peanut butter, coconut, mocha), and different types of chocolate."

Nukacola

Get a rather large sized mixing bowl and a large spoon (or other mixing instrument) of your choosing. -Start by pouring in the following: -A mostly Coca-Cola base
-Add your second drink of choice. I personally prefer Mountain Dew, but I imgaine any similar drink would work, for example: Mello Yellow, Sprite, Seven Up, etc.
-Finally, I like to very slowly add cream soda into my mixture so that the cream soda taste doesn't overwhelm the other tastes and it's a perfect mixture. -After mixing your ingredient-Cola or other soda products. Just one thing to keep in mind is that an open container will allow the drink to go flat. So either bottle it, contain it securely in some other fashion, or drink it relatively quick

Pepperkaker - Gingerbread, courtesy of Nisse

Pepperkaker - Gingerbread

250 g margarine

215 g brown sugar

1 dl syrup (the sticky stuff in your kitchen, not the Max Barry novel)

75 g chopped almonds
50 g chopped candied oranges

1 soup spoon cinnamon

1/2 soup spoon ground cloves

1/2 soup spoon natron

500 g wheat flour

Blend margarine, sugar and syrup in a pan. Heat gently. Don't let it boil. Remove from heat and add almonds, candied oranges and spices. Dissolve natron in a little water and add. Stir in the flour. Cover with a lid and let dough cool overnight. Heat oven to 180° Celsius. Roll out dough on a little flour to about 3-5 mm. Cut out all the shapes you want. Bake on a tray for about 6-10 minutes. It's better for the dough to remain a little sticky, than for the gingerbread to dry out and crack. Leave to cool. If you want to, decorate with sugar icing

Almond Spritz cookies, courtesy of Reploid Productions

Almond Spritz cookies:
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk (unbeaten)
1 tsp almond extract (alternatives can use stuff like vanilla or peppermint)
Food coloring if you want colored cookies

Mixing:
1) Sift together the flour, baking power, and salt in a bowl.
2) In a different bowl (preferably a stand mixer, but a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer will work just fine as well), cream the butter on medium speed, gradually adding the sugar until the mix is very light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and almond extract and beat until it's well blended.
3) On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating until it is well mixed. At this point, start beating in the food coloring if you want colored cookies. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for about a half hour.

Baking:
1) Preheat oven to 350F.
2) Press the dough through the shape disk of your choice on a cookie press onto a cold, ungreased baking sheet. (There's enough butter in the dough that the cookies basically grease the sheet themselves!) Holiday season, we usually do trees and wreathes. If the dough isn't running evenly through the press or isn't sticking neatly to the cookie sheet, it may be either too cold (and thus not pressing easily), or too warm (presses very easily but doesn't stick cleanly to the cookie sheet)- in which case chill the dough or let it warm up a little longer after pulling it out of the fridge.
3) Bake 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, cool on the sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

The decorating glaze:
The formal recipe says to mix 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/2tsp vanilla extract, and 3-4 tsp water until smooth, but for the volume of cookies my friends and I make, it's more like "Keep stirring in confectioners' sugar into this container of water (and a little vanilla extract) until it's sort of a thick runny goop." Cookie decorating generally entails drizzling the glaze on a cookie and then dusting with sprinkles to decorate them. As the glaze dries out, it glues the sprinkles to the cookie (and conveniently, can also be used to "glue" cracked cookies back together.) Once the glaze is dry, the cookies can be readily stacked on platters or in containers for storage and distribution

Creamy milk chocolate fudge courtesy of Harteath

(makes an 8x8 pan)

Ingredients:
- 3 cups of milk chocolate chips (you can use Semi-sweet or dark if you prefer)
- 1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- a dash of salt
-(optional) 1/2 cup pecans (you monster)

(I also like to add 2 teaspoons extra cocoa because, more chocolate)

Instructions:
Spray your 8x8 pan with cooking oil, or put some oil on a paper towel and coat the sides of the pan. (you can also use butter. It tastes better, but oil is cheaper)

in a saucepan, heat chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and salt (and extra cocoa if you like) over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth (make sure you stir it, or else you'll end up with a burnt-sugar flavored mess that is impossible to get off the bottom of your pan)

Add in vanilla and, if you absolutely must, nuts.

Pour the mixture into your oiled pan and set aside for several hours to cool and cut as desired.

Many Thanks and a Very Merry Christmas to all our chefs.
