Four-Layer Chocolate Yule Log
We gave the rolled and rounded yule log a modern makeover. Airy and extra-soft, the meringue-based cake is prepared on a single sheet-pan and simply cut into four pieces for clean lines that make it easier to box up. Those intense, dark, chocolatey layers are best eaten slightly chilled, and the ganache base firms up when cold, so it’s solid and sturdy for a trip. And to take it over the top, how about some pistachio crumble?

Upside-Down Candied Orange Cake
This party headliner has it all: the spiciness of gingerbread, a nod to bittersweet marmalade and the softness of cake. We arranged thinly sliced discs of cara cara, navel and blood oranges, playing with sizes and colours, pulp and rind, for a mosaic effect. Tucked beneath the spiced batter, the layers of citrus steam cook to create a quick and tender confit as the cake rises. Flip it over onto a tray while it’s still warm and take your masterpiece to go.

Giant Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cookie
It’s all hands on deck for this monster of a cookie! We spread the dough out onto one baking dish to create a giant rectangular communal treat. It comes out of the oven like a canvas ready to be decorated with roasted pecans, roughly chopped chocolate and a gooey caramel (or any other toppings you like). The baking dish conveniently packs flat, and just needs to be deep enough that the cookie doesn’t crisp up before it’s cut. What’s more kid-friendly, or travel-friendly, than that?

Mini Grapefruit and Rosemary Loaves
Pound for pound, this festive cake is ready to take all comers. They’ll revel in its exquisitely fine crumb and seasonal flavours, an uplifting combination of grapefruit zest’s bold citrus bite and the pine-forest breeziness of fresh rosemary. Instead of making one big pound cake, our recipe divides and conquers: By baking four smaller loaves, you’ve got a couple of visiting cakes to bring along to friends or family (and at least one to pop into the freezer at home). If given as a gift, wrap them up in pretty paper and slip a sprig of rosemary under the ribbon.

Buckwheat and Chocolate Cookies
We took our most popular cookie recipe—chewy chocolate chip cookies—and made a few changes. We replaced some
of the unbleached flour with buckwheat flour for a toasted, nutty aroma, plus fibre; we reduced the amount of sugar
by a quarter and the chocolate by more than half; we added a bit of instant coffee (which brings a deep, rich taste) and threw in some chopped roasted almonds for texture and crunch. Behold, an equally delicious but better-for-you chocolate chip cookie!
