The intense flavours of the filling pair perfectly with the rich egg dough. A perfect centrepiece bread for a friendly, relaxed holiday get-together.
These galettes are a hybrid between a plum Danish and an almond croissant. They get their unique taste from the almond-flavoured marzipan; look for it in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
Full of tender meat in a thick sauce, this classic steamed pudding – the ultimate comfort food – is guaranteed to hit the spot.
Surely one of Britain’s national dishes, steak and kidney pudding has only been around since the mid-1800s. Beefsteak puddings had already featured on the British menu – indeed the poet and cook Eliza Acton’s own creation, Ruth Pinch’s Beefsteak Pudding, was named after one of the characters in Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens – but it wasn’t until 1861 that the first recipe for the pud that we know and love today appeared in Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management. Cockneys often refer to this national institution as Kate and Sidney pud.
These elevated ice cream sammies boast both the zing of key lime flavour and the sweetness of honey graham cookies. You won’t be able to stop at just one!
A smooth ganache topping is an easy yet impressive finish to this moist chocolate cake, which is layered with a buttery espresso-flavoured icing. Top the cake with the chilled chocolate shards just before serving so they keep their shape.
This playful cake is the perfect balance between whimsical and elegant. Once you've placed the bottom row of polka dots, you have a guideline to follow for placing the remaining dots in a diminishing pattern to the top. You can smooth out any fingerprints left on the dots using a fondant iron once they're set but haven't dried completely.
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.
Fresh peaches at the market are a sure sign that summer is here. And there's no better way to celebrate than with our Ultimate Peach Pie. A hint of vanilla in the filling brings out the best in the peaches, and a sprinkling of cornmeal in the flaky pastry adds a satisfying crunch. Be sure to bake the pie on a baking sheet to catch any juices that spill over.
Serve these Cheddar- and bacon-stuffed biscuits as a savoury holiday starter, as a sidekick to soup or alongside poached eggs at brunch. They're also amazing served warm from the oven with a slice of tomato and shredded iceberg lettuce tucked inside (instant BLT!). Cooking the bacon with water helps it brown evenly and means you don't have to stir it.
