We used a Vienna loaf to make this garlic bread and opted for a flatter, wider loaf to maximise the cheesy surface area. If your loaf is smaller or larger than ours, you can scale the quantities of butter, garlic and cheese to suit. Best served straight from the oven while the cheese is hot.

Red cranberries and green pistachios give a Christmassy look to this easy-to-make rocky road. It's great to have on hand during the festive season and makes a lovely homemade gift.

Buttery shortbread, soft caramel and rich chocolate layered together makes this slice hard to resist.
We have used dark brown sugar in the recipe as we find it adds a deeper flavour to the caramel layer. It is available from supermarkets and worth sourcing if you can. A combination of milk and dark chocolate (100g milk and 75g dark) has been used in the slice pictured.

For a warming winter dessert, you can't beat apple crumble – tender chunks of apple with a crunchy oat topping – served hot from the oven with ice cream or custard. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for this recipe as their tart flavour pairs nicely with the sweetness of the crumble.

An old-fashioned favourite, the jam roll has been taken to a new level with the addition of whipped cream. A slice of the soft, delicate sponge encasing a jam and cream filling is perfect with a cup of tea. It is best eaten within one day of baking.

The cake is light in texture when served warm and slightly more dense at room temperature. Overripe bananas make the best banana cakes.
If you have leftover caramel sauce, it's delicious served warm over vanilla ice cream. You can store the sauce in the fridge or freezer.

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in these muffins. We tested both and chose to use frozen berries because they were more flavoursome than the fresh ones we were able to buy at the time. Unless you are aiming to make purple muffins, add frozen berries straight from the freezer to minimise the amount of colourful blueberry juice that incorporates into the batter.

The starting point for our dessert table was a red glitter wire Christmas tree and a white tablecloth. We then chose decorations, desserts and lollies to fit with a red and white colour scheme.

When selecting the feta to use in this pie, we compared the nutrition information panels of available brands and selected one that was lower in sodium (850mg per 100g). Using a feta that contained 1200mg sodium per 100g resulted in a pie that was too salty for our liking. We do not add any extra salt to the filling.
