This soft, gingery cookie is packed with gooey chocolate chunks and chewy candied ginger. The mix is a fun gift for friends and neighbours with kids.

I love thyme and sprinkle it wantonly in my cooking, but I wanted a cake that relied on it as a leading ingredient, not merely as a decorative flourish. Besides, with a rosemary loaf cake under my belt (in Feast), I had no doubt that it would work. And it does. Don’t be alarmed at the amount of thyme in the cake batter, as it doesn’t overwhelm. It charms. - Nigella

This rich and creamy dessert can be topped with any fruit sauce or simply melted chocolate — it's up to you. (We're partial to this cranberry sauce during the holidays, though.)

This decadent brownie recipe is from Donna Hay's cookbook, The New Easy.

These French-patisserie-style choux pastries, filled with dreamy mocha cream, are dessert and coffee rolled into one.
