Eat, drink and shop merrily: Denver Christkindl Market

Add a Comment

November 30, 3:11 PM

by Andrea Spikes, Denver Food Examiner

Now in its ninth season, the German American Chamber of Commerce–Colorado Chapter (GACC) brings its Denver Christkindl Market to downtown Denver.

On the corner of 16th and Arapahoe along the 16th Street Mall, you'll find an assortment of booths where purveyors are purveying a fascinating array of handmade gifts. From German Christmas ornaments to Ukrainian hand-painted trinket boxes, this unique little festival is the perfect place to get yourself in a shopping kind of mood – old world style.

What's more (and is at least half the reason I like to go), the market offers plenty of European food and a beer garden where you can warm up to a cup of Gluhwein (a type of German spiced wine) or beer. The Market rounds out the annual event with local choruses and other musicians, including a performance with 400 tubas on December 14^th.

The Thanksgiving table: cranberry sauce three ways

Add a Comment

November 18, 4:02 PM

When I was a kid, I was hooked on the cranberry sauce that came straight out of the can - not that stuff with actual whole cranberries in it, but the jellied stuff. It's so sweet and tangy, I'd eat it straight out of the can and I thought it looked quite... Read More

I bought the movie Ratatouille last year, which is a funny romp through a French restaurant's kitchen. The movie centers around a famous chef's credo that says "anyone can cook". Can they?I think so. My engineer brother is re-learning some... Read More

This recipe is actually easy to put together, and you can substitute ground beef if lamb isn't available. Also, you could use cubed meat instead of ground, but this will take a bit longer to cook.I used Cabernet Sauvignon in this recipe, but any dry... Read More

Slow-Cooker Braised Pork with Salsa

Add a Comment

October 30, 7:37 AM

While using a slow-cooker can make things easier for us at dinnertime (or nacho cheese time, whatever you prefer), some recipes call for a variety of pre- and post-cooking steps that seem to cancel out the ease of using the thing. Okay, maybe I'm just... Read More
