Consider pairing toffee with espresso this holiday season. Photo: Kowalski’s Markets
When it comes to family gatherings, I became the de facto dessert-bringer many, many years ago. There’s always plenty of food at a Perron party, and we don’t ever lack for veggie trays, cheese and, of course, potatoes. But I go to a party for one thing—dessert. And if that means I must make it, I’m good with that. From everyday family meals to formal dinner parties, these easy-peasy holiday pairings are a great way to treat your guests to a little something sweet this season.
