"This recipe is inspired by a chocolate cake my grandmother used to make for special occasions. It's decadent, incredibly chocolaty and extremely easy to make. For a potluck, I like to dress it up with a milk chocolate glaze and a quick berry coulis, but it's also pretty perfect with a simple dusting of icing sugar." — Jennifer Bartoli, Food specialist
These doughnuts, traditionally enjoyed at Hanukkah, taste best when eaten the day they are made, but it won't be difficult to find volunteers to help finish off this impressive tower of jam-filled treats. To protect the rim of the plate from being covered in icing sugar, place 3-inch (8 cm) long strips of waxed paper along the edge of the plate before building the tower; remove them before serving.
Our technique of cooking the perfect cake in a slow cooker uses both the high and low settings, ensuring that the cake stays tender without being too moist. Good-quality parchment paper is on the heavier side, and it will help insulate the cake so that it bakes to a nice light-golden colour.
From sweet maple to zingy ginger to tart raspberries, this cake has it all. It's the perfect indulgence at the end of a big day of celebrating.

Our classic recipe for hearty cabbage rolls is a labour of love that won't disappoint. Use two smaller cabbages rather than one large head, as the leaves will be more consistent in size. The best leaves for rolling are in the middle of the head, so save the outer ones for coleslaw or soup. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill.
