Trifle is the quintessential winter holiday dessert and positively addicting. It might as well be the official state dessert in Great Britain. Every home, school lunchroom, tea parlor, and restaurant have a version it is so beloved.

The office staff at Harvard Common Press, my publisher, cook out of the books we publish, which includes mine. Yesterday I was told that one of the gals made the Pear Bread from the Quick Breads book. It is such as fabulous loaf and one of the best I ever created. I was happy to be reminded about it.
