An Ottolenghi favorite, these caramelized endive are stuffed and topped with a slice of prosciutto or serrano ham for a savory treat. Make ahead and pop in the oven 15 minutes before serving.

RASPBERRY AND ALMOND TRIFLE

Trifle is the quintessential Christmas dessert. Fruit, jelly, whipped cream, lady fingers and a bit of booze. A great make-ahead dessert for a crowd.
