Christmas, as it should be

Gans wie bei Oma (Goose like Grandma's) stands for tradition, quality, and attention to detail – and that's exactly what our blog reflects. This isn't about perfection, but about true Christmas joy: about scents, memories, and the feeling of coming home.

Whether you're looking for classic recipes, vegan holiday menus, or current trends for the festive season – here you'll find everything that makes your celebration truly special.

The Gans wie bei Oma blog –
for everyone who celebrates Christmas with heart, taste, and joy.

Tradition Meets New Ideas

At Gans wie bei Oma, delicious food takes center stage. We love classic Christmas dishes that evoke childhood, family, and comfort – and at the same time, we show you how to combine them with modern ideas.

Here on the blog, you'll find our professional step-by-step instructions for the perfect Christmas goose: crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. We'll tell you which side dishes pair well, how to save time when roasting, and what to look out for to ensure your goose is a guaranteed success.

And because more and more people are eating more consciously, we also present delicious plant-based alternatives – such as our popular vegan drumstick, festive main courses based on lentils or seitan, creative side dishes, and refined sauces. This way, everyone at the table will find something to their taste – no matter how they celebrate.

Tips, Trends & Inspiration for Your Celebration

Our articles are not just about food. Christmas is a complete experience – and that includes atmosphere, preparation, and the right mood. That's why you'll find:

  • Ideas for atmospheric table decorations using natural materials
  • Sustainable gift ideas that come from the heart

More Time for What Matters

Christmas shouldn't be a race against time. That's why we share many small tricks on our blog that help you spend more time with your family. Whether it's clever menu planning, simple recipes with a wow factor, or well-prepared feasts – with a little organization, your Christmas Eve will be more relaxed than you think.
