Four holiday baked goods from around the world

It’s the holiday season which means it's definitely the time for delicious baked goods and sweet treats. Food expert, Joshna Maharaj shares four delicious dishes to celebrate different cultures around the world. 

Sufganiyot

These fluffy fried doughnuts are lightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside with a little punch of jam in the middle. They’re a celebration of the oil and all things deliciously deep-fried.

Cocadas (coconut macaroons with dulce de leche)

Coconut macaroons are already a rich mouthful, and the addition of that glorious rich caramel flavour from the dulce de leche makes it a very special thing.

Kolaczki (Eastern European cream cheese pastry jam cookies)

This little bite is a perfect snapshot of eastern Europe and is ubiquitous on sweets platters during the winter holidays.

Melomakarona

Like many of the sweet things produced in this part of the world, these cookies get a bath of warm honey syrup, which soaks into them and transforms a crumbly cookie into a gorgeously dense, chewy treat.
