Grape Focaccia
Dotted with grapes and piping a rosemary aroma as it emerges from the oven, this savory-sweet bread will make a big impact on your holiday table. All you'll need are a stand mixer and a bit of courage. Don't worry about dimpling the dough –– your fingerprints will create just the right amount of room for the grapes.

Sugared Cranberries
Sugared cranberries are sweet-tart treats that deserve a place in your holiday celebrations. They're incredible easy to prepare—all you have to do add cranberries to some simmered simple syrup, let them dry, toss them in sugar, and you're done!
Use these sweet sugared cranberries to add a festive look to any frosted cake or include them as a garnish for cocktails or a Christmas punch. Thread a few onto a decorative skewer and add them to an elegant poinsettia cocktail, cranberry margaritas, or a classic sea breeze. They can help gussy up a holiday appetizer tray, too.

English Trifle

An English trifle is a traditional British dessert that has appeared on Christmas dinner menus for the last four centuries. Luscious layers of sponge cake soaked in sherry, fruit jelly, custard, and whipped cream make this a popular and beautiful treat at the holidays.

Be sure to have a glass dessert bowl so your layers show. Skip the sherry if kids are eating this dessert, and add fresh sweet fruit both under the custard and on top of the whipped cream. Ready in 40 minutes plus setting time in the fridge.

Quick Italian Panettone

Celebrated Italian panettone is a buttery Christmas cake with a tall, loaf-like appearance, filled with candied and dried fruits. Making one from scratch takes some effort, but this straightforward recipe will help and yields beautiful results. More traditional recipes might take days to achieve, and although totally amazing, are less realistic for a home cook to work with, considering that the holidays aren't the best of times to take on on difficult recipes.

Soak your fruit in liqueur for one night. Make a dough, preferably using a stand mixer, and refrigerate it overnight before putting together the panettone. Strain the fruit and mix with dough, kneading constantly. Shape and let prove for 3 hours. Bake for approximately 40 minutes.

Macaron (French Macaroon)

This is the quintessential macaron (NOT macaroon) recipe. I am a baker's apprentice, and after much trial and error, we (the baker and I) finally perfected the technique. We decided to share with you all. Pipe your choice of filling on a cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. These are like cloud cookie sandwiches and are delicious if done correctly. If you want to do it the super-easy way, just fill with your favorite flavor of frosting. Enjoy!
