Stephanie Johnston’s Bakewell Tart
A classic British bakewell tart is a threesome: a crust; a layer of raspberry jam – one chockfull of seeds; and a sponge cake redolent of almonds. Sliced almonds and a drizzle of icing may or may not be optional, depending on whose recipe you’re using. I got my first taste of a bakewell, and this recipe, in Paris from my friend, Stephanie Johnston, who got it from her mom, Granny Annie, in England. Granny never used almonds or icing but occasionally swapped her homemade raspberry jam for red currant jelly or lemon curd. When I asked what made a good bakewell, Steph instructed, “The crust, the jam and the almond cake.” Well, of course. That settled, Stephanie confessed to using Bonne Maman jam from the supermarket. As for the crust, both Steph and her mom make a plain, all-butter crust, think pâte brisée or pie dough. We polished off Steph’s tart in one go after dinner, but had we shown more discipline, it would have kept at room temperature for three more days.
Orange Cake, Ancona-Style
Orange cake is a terrific dessert to serve after the rich, meaty stews of winter: boeuf bourguignon, short ribs, lamb tagine. The method that Marcella Hazan uses here — poking holes into the cake and letting orange syrup seep in — has a similar effect to brining: what would otherwise be a dry cake becomes flavorful, fragrant, and juicy. And it’s even better than brining, because it always works, takes no time, and also makes the cake last longer.
Le Gourmand Rhubarb Sherbet With Rhubarb Compote
Pan-Seared Oatmeal With Warm Fruit Compote and Cider Syrup
There's weekday oatmeal – the sort you make and eat in a rush – and then there's a special occasion oatmeal like this – the kind you save for a lazy weekend morning when the children are watching cartoons and you have the time to make something truly spectacular. First, reduce some apple cider until it's thick and glossy. While that simmers, toss together a quick compote of water, brown sugar, cinnamon and dried fruit. Make a simple pot of steel-cut oatmeal, spread it in a baking dish and chill for about an hour. (If you're a planner, you could do everything up to here the night before.) Finally, cut into triangles and sear in a blazing-hot pan glistening with butter. Serve with compote and syrup and prepare for oohs, ahhs and oh-mys.

Dessert Galette Pastry
A galette is a free-form pie, more rustic than a tart, that is baked directly on a sheet pan or baking stone. Although they’re usually made with classic buttery pie dough or puff pastry, I’ve developed this yeasted dough recipe, which is delicate and tasty but not too rich. The yield is enough for two galettes, but has only 60 grams of butter (about four tablespoons). It’s sort of a cross between a pizza dough and pie-crust dough, wholesome because of the addition of whole-wheat flour but not heavy. Almond flour contributes a nutty flavor and delicate texture, but it’s optional. The trick is to roll it very thin, then freeze it right away so that it doesn’t continue to rise and become too bready. Make sure to dust your work surface well before you roll out the pastry, and to let the dough rest for a few minutes after each few passes with the rolling pin so that it doesn’t shrink back, as yeast doughs do. If you keep letting it rest, you won’t have trouble achieving a thin 12- to 13-inch round.

PBJ Sandwich Cookies
Cookies made with peanut butter seem to keep getting better, especially as we learn to appreciate salty desserts. The peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich cookie recipe here was inspired by a nearly savory PBJ dessert at Momofuku Ssam Bar a couple of years ago.

Buttermilk-Glazed Pineapple-Carrot Cake
This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

Christmas Pudding Chewton Glen
According to that English guide to all things gastronomic by Mrs. Isabella Beeton, ''Beeton's Book of Household Management,'' a ''Very Good Christmas Plum-Pudding'' sufficient to feed eight people should consist of raisins, currants, mixed peels, bread crumbs, suet, eggs and brandy. This version, from the Chewton Glen restaurant, near Southampton at the edge of New Forest in southern England, makes two puddings. Each will serve eight to 10.
