My love affair with sweet things, inspired by my mum’s baking, has grown up with me. It’s moulded me, it’s comforted me, and that feeling of comfort has happily spread to others. That’s the joy of baking. With these recipes you can create perfect treats to serve up to friends at tea, give as gifts or use to create a festive centrepiece. MIMA SINCLAIR

About delicious. Magazine
The Christmas & New year Delicious fulfils all your festive cooking needs. As well as our best-ever big day lunch, there are gifts for foodies, Christmas shortcuts, and three wise men – Hugh F-W, John Torode and Nigel Slater bearing recipes and tips. There are also cocktails and canapés, dramatic desserts, GBBO's Frances Quinn's cake styling and frangipane mince pies. And because there’s still regular cooking to do, we’ve included a Timesaver Meal Planner, too.
