Anzac sandwich biscuits with dark chocolate filling

Helen Goh

Anzac biscuits are closely associated with Anzac Day on 25 April, which commemorates the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who served in the first world war. Made with oats, coconut and golden syrup, the biscuits are said to have been popular because they travelled well and kept for long periods, making them suitable for sending to forces overseas. My version here, a slightly less austere take on the classic, sandwiches two small biscuits with a lightly salted, olive oil-enriched dark chocolate ganache. The result is crisp at the edges, soft within and not too sweet

Banana puddings with tahini butterscotch

Helen Goh

Light in texture (all the better to absorb the delicious butterscotch sauce) and with a hint of spice, I love to bake these puddings in individual moulds so each person gets their very own. But if you prefer a less fussy, family-style presentation, bake the pudding in a large, buttered ovenproof dish (about 30cm x 20cm x 6cm) – just lower the temperature to 165C fan/gas mark 4½ and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean

The crustless Basque cheesecake is given a festive twist here with a subtle orange flavour and a mulled wine cherry compote.

Individual gooseberry and almond pies

Helen Goh

Gooseberries require a little patience. Firm, pale and stubbornly sour, they don’t offer the easy sweetness of other berries, but give them something warm and soft to lean against, and watch them shine. Almond cream feels a natural companion: gently sweet and tender, cushioning the sharpness without dulling it. Baked in muffin tins, these small pies feel informal yet generous, plus all the components can be made up to three days ahead and assembled just before baking

Helen Goh · Baking and the Meaning of Life

A traditional Bakewell tart consists of a pastry shell filled with jam and almond cream filling, finished with a layer of icing and a cherry on top. My version here replaces the jam layer with fresh plums for brightness and acidity. A little raising agent in the rich nutty filling lightens the crumb, while the layer of white icing has been replaced by a light dusting of icing sugar. Cut into bars, this is a hand-held, portable cake to take with you on a long drive, to a picnic or to pack into a lunchbox, but it’s equally good plated for dessert and served with cream.

This is comfort food by so many measures. The soothing texture of the chicken and porridge; the chicken-soup-for-the-soul; bowl food eaten with a spoon or chopsticks. It’s the sort of food we eat when we are in need of something soothing and convivial, and is a dish that takes Helen straight back home. Kids love it too: you might just hold back on the sprinkle of peppercorns and chilli at the end. Getting ahead: The congee is best made fresh, but the chicken can be poached and shredded the day before. You’ll need to warm it up before serving, or stir it into the hot congee, rather than placing on top.
