A classic and a crowd pleaser, for good reason. The basic combination of bacon, leeks and cheese is enhanced by using high-quality ingredients. Try this with baby leeks in season and use the best quality Gruyere you can find; it will make all the difference to the end result. Keep in mind that this full recipe includes the creation of the moulded pastry shell, which requires at least 6 hours and preferably overnight, so this recipe is ideally started the day before service.

Coconut milk, unsweetened · Quinoa, uncooked, rinsed · Seasonal berries, such as blackberries, blueberries or strawberries · Honey · Pecans, toasted, chopped

This brightly-coloured purée works beautifully with fatty meats, such as sous vide porchetta from Serious Eats, which we make every Christmas. Before we adapted this recipe from Chef Steps, we would simply sauté the cabbage, but this is a far more refined accompaniment.

Tomato sauce · Brown sugar · Butter, salted · Honey · Worcestershire sauce · Tomato paste · Soy sauce · Cider vinegar · Garlic, minced · Dijon mustard · Mustard powder · White pepper, ground · Cayenne pepper · Smoked paprika
