Cardamom is that elusively fragrant spice associated with Scandinavian and Indian cooking. It's especially good with apples. This rich, moist apple cake doesn't need icing. Simply dust with icing sugar and serve it in wedges for afternoon tea, snacks, a coffee party or brunch.
A thin slice of rich marble cake is a fitting end to this first-night dinner. Wrap any leftover cake well and serve it with tea and coffee throughout the weekend. If stored in an airtight container, the cake can be made two days in advance.

Chocolate, toffee and espresso are made for one another. And this biscotti is screaming to be dipped into a good cup of coffee. Stirring the instant espresso into the chocolate while it's still warm gives it a chance to dissolve and impart the strongest flavour possible.
Three forms of maple add just the right amount of sweetness to these simple cookies. Maple sugar is available in the baking aisles of large grocery stores or in gourmet food shops. Use leftover maple sugar to flavour coffee and oatmeal or in place of white sugar in selected dessert recipes.

This classic French pear dessert was created in honour of the operetta “La Belle Helene.” Here, the warmth of spice replaces the traditional vanilla.
