NEAPOLITAN EASTER PIE
The wheat berries in this Italian grain pie, known as pastiera, are fitting for the Easter holiday, as they symbolize rebirth and renewal. The grains get soaked in water overnight before they are cooked in milk. Afterward, they are mixed with ricotta cheese and pastry cream to make an exceptionally delicious filling.

Steps:
- Vanilla Pastry Cream:Bring milk and vanilla seeds and pod to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add milk mixture in a slow, steady stream and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
- Whisking constantly, slowly pour one-third of milk mixture into egg yolks. Pour mixture into remaining milk in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl; discard solids. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, pressing directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled and firm, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Whisk to soften slightly just before using.
- Crust:In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in orange zest. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour mixture.
- Divide dough into 2 disks, one larger (approximately two-thirds of dough) and one smaller. Press each piece into a disk; wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour or up to 1 day.
- Filling:Place wheat berries in a medium bowl. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Refrigerate overnight.
- Drain wheat berries, and transfer to a medium saucepan with milk, water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 1 hour. Drain, and spread on a baking sheet. Let cool about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta and sugar. Add cooled wheat berries and pastry cream. Stir to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger piece of dough to a 14-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 10-by-2-inch springform pan. Pour filling into shell. Trim excess dough to 1/2 inch above filling. Roll out remaining piece of dough, 1/8 inch thick. With a pastry wheel, cut into twelve 3/4-inch strips. Weave strips into a lattice over filling; trim lattice flush with edge of dough.
- Lightly beat egg and brush evenly over top of pie. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 60 to 90 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool 20 minutes. Run a sharp knife around edge to gently loosen pie. Remove outer ring from springform pan. Let pie cool completely. Serve.

MARTHA STEWART'S 8 FAVORITE CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPES
From marthastewart.com
Author Lynn Andriani
- Sugar Cookies. These buttery cookies are best for making cutouts in all kinds of festive shapes. Make your dough, chill for at least an hour (or overnight), then you're ready to roll!
- Gingerbread Snowflakes. It just isn't Christmas without gingerbread! Martha uses the spice-forward dough to make snowflakes of all different sizes—those pictured here are made with a large snowflake-shape cookie cutter, but she makes smaller iterations, as well.
- Noel Nut Balls. When she makes these delicious pecan cookies, a Kostyra family favorite, Martha portions the dough into larger balls than her mother's recipe calls for.
- Old-Fashioned Lemon Sugar Cookies. Martha loves lemon (it's one of her favorite flavors), and it's sure to be one of yours, too, once you bite into these crisp, citrusy cookies.
- Chewy Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies. Rich and robust, these decadent cookies are made with fresh ginger instead of the usual powdered spice. Semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder put a smile on chocolate lovers' faces, while dark-brown sugar and molasses provide that scrumptious chewy texture.
