Anglo-Italian Trifle

I don't think I could write a book that didn't include a recipe for trifle somewhere - and this, I tell you, is the trifle to end all trifles. The shiny black of the berries, the soft whiteness of the mascarpone above them and the golden toastiness of the almonds on top, make it, in the first instance, beautiful to look at.

Pomegranate Jewel Cake

Pomegranate Jewel Cake Many cultures use food that resembles money – lentils for coins, saffron for gold – in celebratory meals, to invoke a wish for prosperity and good fortune ahead, and this fragrant, light, flourless almond cake with its tumble of gleaming, rubied pomegranate seeds is my version: an open jewel-case of a cake.

Eggnog Cream

EGGNOG CREAM The traditional sauce for Christmas pudding is a "hard sauce", that's to say brandy butter but I can't help feeling that this corner-cutting Eggnogg Cream, devised for my Express festivities last year, is best of all.

Clementine Cake Recipe

Clementine Cake

CLEMENTINE CAKE This is incredibly easy to make; even if you're stressed out, it won't topple you over into nervous collapse. It's such an accommodating kind of cake: it keeps well, indeed it gets better after a few days, and it is perfect either as a pudding, with some creme fraiche, or as cake.

Girdle Buster Dessert

Girdlebuster Pie

GIRDLEBUSTER PIE I confess: it was the title that lured me. Tell me you don’t feel the same. I came across this in a recipe by Elinor Klivans, whom I often turn to for chocolatey solace, in her The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook, which includes the wonderful phrase “let the chocolate chips fall where they will”. Although her recipes always work to the letter, my recipe is not hers.

Irish Cream Tiramisu

IRISH CREAM TIRAMISU I've long been tinkering about with a bottle of Bailey's, seeing how it could best be called upon in the kitchen, and I think, with this, I've found it. An Italian friend of mine, who makes a killer tiramisu herself, was an instant convert. I was relieved: the Italians generally are conservative about their food, which goes some way to explaining the longevity of their cherished culinary traditions.

Gorgeously Golden Fruit Cake

GORGEOUSLY GOLDEN FRUIT CAKE This is the fruity blonde sister to that brunette temptress, my chocolate fruit cake from Nigella Christmas. It delivers, as promised, a cake of apricot-pear-and-ginger goldenness and goodness, so squidgy and fresh-tasting, which comes perhaps not only from the amount of fruit in it, but also the lack of flour: this is a gluten-free treat for the greedy; fruit cake with the emphasis firmly on the first word.

No-Churn Pomegranate Ice Cream

NO-CHURN POMEGRANATE ICE CREAM It's not hard to think of a pudding that can be made in advance. But mostly the advantage is simply that all the effort is upfront and early. The thing about this recipe is that you do it in advance - it's ice cream, so that stands to reason - but what you do in advance is negligible in terms of effort.

Pecan-Plus Pie

PECAN-PLUS PIE This is somewhat of an Anglo-American enterprise. I have taken a pecan pie, and added other nuts, simply because for me, the English festive season means bowls of mixed nuts and the memory of my grandfather being able to crack them, pressing two against each other, in his bare hands.
