Each layer of these bars is a delicious treat on its own; together, they become the star of any goodie tray. To make them gluten-free, be sure to use oat flour that's labelled as such.

You can make the custard and cake for this shaggy white-on-white dream two days ahead and assemble the final product at your leisure. Just don't throw away the egg whites — you'll need them for the buttercream!

The unmistakable sweetness of this Pavlova is offset with a tart berry topping. You don't have to be too fussy about spooning the egg white mixture onto the baking sheet; the more rustic it looks, the better! Add the topping at the last minute so the Pavlova stays crisp.
Serve this to the chocoholic in your life and he — or she — will be yours forever. Both filling and pat-in pastry can be doubled easily to make a 10-inch (25 cm) pie; just add a whole egg instead of an egg white when making the pastry and arrange two or three pears in spoke fashion.
