As the weather gets colder, it makes sense that our missions have been calling for more savoury fare such as stews, sauces and squashes. But this is also the season to indulge the sweet tooth. Before we take a break for the holidays, we want to see what foods you’re sweet on. Whether it’s Christmas-themed gingerbread houses and candy canes or a well-deserved dessert or adding a signature sugary touch to your treats, let’s end this Gastro-year on a sweet note.
