Decorate the cookies with a sprig of rosemary (pictured) or lavender.

Helen Goh's spiced German cookies

With cinnamon and cloves, these flourless German biscuits known as Zimtsterne definitely hit the spot for the festive season. But what I adore about them is the texture: biting into one, you get the thin, crisp meringue shell, then the delectably chewy edges and, finally, the sweet, soft interior. They keep well for up to two weeks, and are perfect for gifting.

Mushrooms baked with garlic, olive oil and parmesan.

Roasted mushrooms

I love to do this with a mixture of mushrooms. Portabello, field, pine, slippery jacks and shitake work well. Mushrooms are best cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.
