Here is a wonderful homemade cranberry sauce that is NOT fresh from the tin. This is super easy and super delicious … great with poultry of any kind, or serve it on buttery toast for a special Christmas day brunch. In my case, I served it up with chicken balls for Super Bowl weekend.

When I was travelling around Switzerland, almost every hotel we stayed at served fresh Bircher müesli at breakfast … and it was delicious! This year I hope to routinely make healthier choices in my daily life so I am going to start here, with the most important meal of the day.

Tea; as restorative and as uplifting to ones spirit as any ‘ol bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cold, rainy day. However, on a reeeeallly dreary day (like today) I like to take it up a notch. One word comes to mind : Chai.

Stewed fruit topped with buttery crumble makes for a very satisfying end to a meal. I went for a wintery flavour by making this crumble with a combination of sweet juicey dessert pears, tart apples and dark cherries. Served warm along with vanilla custard, this dessert is perfect on a chilly night.

Another great recipe to have on-hand when you have leftover mashed potato sitting in the fridge after that weekend dinner party. Fabio Viviani’s recipe for hole-less Italian donuts are really good; sooooo soft and fluffy on the inside, it’s like breaking open a cloud.

More spiced up desserts for the cold months ahead. Today I give you a simple homey pudding of spiced apples and vanilla sponge called an Eve’s Apple Bake. It’s one of the first puddings I have ever made from scratch because it is so easy to do … although I still managed to screw it up (I was THAT bad at baking). Served with ice-cream or vanilla custard, this dessert will be 100% gratifying.

Beautiful baby bundt cakes with all the spicey flavours associated with the festive season. In Holland spiced cookies called ‘Speculaas’ and ‘Kruidnoten’ are traditional for this time of year, so I thought how about some spiced cakes as well to add to the mix. These are then glazed with a creamy butterscotch glaze and given a light dusting with cinnamon sugar. Brilliant!

When I think of pomegranates it conjures up images of exotic Central Asian cities like Istanbul and Marrakesh. Silks, saffron and the souq (large open-air markets) are also what I think of. I hope to capture some of that exoticness in this simple and delicate dessert, bringing a bit of spice and a bit of sweetness with every spoonful.

I am sticking to my guns … my no-bake cheesecake guns that is. And today I share with you a wonderful double decker chocolate cheesecake recipe. I call it Top Deck coz the inspiration came from Cadbury’s Top Deck chocolate bar.

Todays no-bake cheesecake recipe was kinda made up in my head. It’s a rather tropical variety … which is a bit weird given the time of year … but I had to get it out of my head and onto my blog, so here it is ~ Tango Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake. R loves passionfruit so this one is for him.
