Cooked sauerkraut is delicious as it absorbs the flavour of the sausages and butter, mellowing its sourness.

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.

Almond crusted apple pie
Choose apples that are firm and smooth with characteristic colour and no bruises or blemishes. Some varieties are better for cooking than eating - as a general rule, those with a high sugar content hold their shape better when cooked.

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.
