Pair this traditional British pastry recipe with creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful family friendly dessert.

One mouthful of this classic Rick Stein dessert will whisk you to the picturesque Italian countryside.

Another star dish from our pastry chef, Anita Pearce. I've always been a bit averse to creme brulees with flavours other than vanilla, but I make an exception for this. You can serve it on its own, but it’s so much more fun to serve it up with little passionfruit jellies made in the scooped-out shells.

This is a rich, celebratory tart that everyone will remember.

You'll be sure to impress your friends and family with this enjoyable French dessert paired with a delicious rum and raisin ice-cream.

Layers of crisp pastry and cream make up this milhojas – Spain’s answer to a French mille-feuille.

One of the delights of French cuisine is the desserts – and we don’t mean the over-elaborate stuff that you get in Michelin restaurants. This deep, baked cheesecake is particularly irresistible because it has an American-style digestive biscuit base and therefore offers the best features of both.

"I hope you enjoy the tart. I think the berry and coconut combination is very Australian, and the fresh raspberries are great at this time of year." - Rick Stein

This easy to prepare winter dessert is perfect for entertaining.

Summery cocktails are the perfect way to start a relaxed Christmas country affair.
