Michael Mina has a lot on his plate – and we’re not just talking about his empire of restaurants located throughout the U.S. This month, Chef Mina is hard at work creating culinary concepts that will satisfy the most important critics he’s ever faced – his family.

So, what does an award-winning chef prepare for holiday meals at home? Chef Mina shared his Christmas menu with Food & Wine and it’s extravagant. With dishes like truffle-infused French onion soup and creamy, vanilla bean-whipped sweet potatoes, there’s no doubt that these luxe comfort foods will land him another five-star review from the family.

And while Millennium Tower residents can always enjoy signature Mina dishes right downstairs in The Club, you can also get a taste of Chef Mina’s personal holiday favorites by clicking on the recipes below and making them from the comfort of your own kitchen.
