Season's Eatings - Pandoro
Legend has it that the name for this dessert came from a cry of amazement from a boy at the sight of this gold-coloured cake! It stems from a tradition of women meeting on Christmas eve to bake together. This sweet cake resembles a Christmas star guiding the magi to the birth of Jesus. Even the box in comes in can be used as a toy. We’re exploring the history and origin of pandoro.

Season's Eatings - Jollof Rice
This dish is found on the tables of many African countries during the holidays, as well as when there’s a large gathering of people for a party or celebration. While the basic ingredients are the same, there are many different variations depending on where you’re from. It has been debated so much, there was actually an online Twitter war on which country had the best recipe. We’re exploring the history and origins of jollof rice.

Season's Eatings - Kransekake
This towering dessert almost resembles a children’s stacking toy and sometimes there’s a prize hidden inside. Made with just a few ingredients, it can be a bit tricky to make and can sometimes take generations to perfect. And while its origins may have started in Greece, it has now become a Scandinavian tradition for many families over the holidays. We’re exploring the history and origins of kransekake.

Season's Eatings - Ribbon Candy
This sweet treat can be found in the candy dishes of many grandma's homes. Its origin has been lost to history but the mechanism used for this candy was created in America. The creator of this machine may be the bane of many children. The candy’s extremely brittle consistency makes it easy to break off a piece for sharing. We're discovering the history and origins of ribbon candy.

Season's Eatings - Sand Tarts
During the holiday season hundreds of these treats are made, sometimes by just one household. Their name can be a bit confusing when first heard.

Customer Reviews
Taste of Christmas all year
I love that we get to learn about holiday traditions and foods from all over the world. Glen gives us in depth information about fascinating holiday traditions every episode.
Wonderful podcast full of great info
I was recommended this podcast and was not disappointed. Every episode is basically a well written thesis on the dish spoken out loud by a great host who’s voice is perfect. He doesn’t rush through his episodes or cram them with ads just to pad for time. Great show. I really can’t recommend the show enough. I’ve been listening to the show almost from the start. The past two years having it to listen to has gotten me through some crazy long wait times at the doctors.
Calming, Cozy, and Interesting
I love this show. It’s fascinating and also familiar with the talk of Christmas, the Christmas music, and the history of beloved (or not so beloved) holiday dishes is enjoyable.
