It is with great joy that for the ninth consecutive Christmas I announce the various wonderful interactive features we've put together for all to enjoy during this festive season.  Through aboutmalta.com's collaboration with the MaltaMedia Online Network we continue to bring you the possibilty to send free online Christmas Cards, listen to a special podcast of traditional Maltese singing with a Christmas theme, post your season's greetings on the Web for all to see, and maybe even try out a couple of delicious Christmas recipes

d. TRADITIONAL MALTESE RECIPES FOR CHRISTMAS

 
One of the most sought after items at Christmas time are the traditional recipes for such delicacies as Qagħaq tal-Għasel, Qagħaq tal-Kavelletti and Imbuljut. Although these special foods are available commercially, nothing beats the home-version. Why don't you give these traditional Maltese Christmas recipes a try this year?
