Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we ate so many festive cookies.

This time of year, every recipe seems to be so involved. You’re whisking, roasting, whipping, flipping and flambeing every ingredient under the sun to impress your holiday guests.
